Caitlyn Buffs, Nerfs & Changes
Caitlyn has been performing too well without needing to invest in Attack Speed. We’re reducing her sustained damage and slightly lowering her burst damage to bring her back in line.

Headshot
- 60% -100% (Based on level) → 60% -90% (Based on level)
Patch 7.3
ChangeCaitlyn hasn’t been packing quite enough punch for a crit-focused marksman. We’re adjusting her stats and Passive to strengthen her lane presence while giving her the burst damage she needs to make those well-placed Headshots really hurt.

- Base Attack Speed: 0.625
- Base Bonus Attack Speed: 0.28

Patch 7.2d
BuffCaitlyn's late-game damage has been falling a little short, while her traps haven't given her enough control over the battlefield. We're improving her Passive scaling and reducing her trap recharge time to give her more presence later in the game.
Headshot
- Damage: 50% - 100% (Based on level) Attack Damage + 125* Critical Rate → 60% - 110% (Based on level) Attack Damage + 200 * Critical Rate
Yordle Snap Trap
- Charge time: 27/22/17/12s → 25/20/15/10s
Patch 6.3f
BuffCaitlyn’s been losing some of her mid-game aim, so we’re upping her Attack Damager per level to help her stay on target after lane.
Stats
- Attack damage growth increased from 4 to 4.5.
Patch 6.0
BuffStats
- Base health increased from 570 to 600.
- Armor growth increased from 3.9 to 4.5.
- Health growth increased from 115 to 128.
- Magic resistance growth increased from 0.8 to 1.4.
Patch 4.3a
BuffThe Sheriff of Piltover is always ready to catch and take down any foes that get in her way. However, we wanted to give her traps a little boost so that it’s harder for enemies to escape Piltover’s finest.
Yordle Snap Trap
- Recharge time reduced from 30/24/18/12 seconds to 27/22/17/12.
Patch 4.2
BuffStats

- Attack damage growth increased from 3.6 to 4.
Yordle Snap Trap
- New effect: Smart casting will target the nearest enemy.
Patch 4.0b
NerfCaitlyn has been locked in and solving cases left and right, dominating the Dragon Lane for quite some time now. Currently, we believe she’s more powerful than needed, and is suppressing a lot of the weaker and lower range Dragon Lane carries. So this time we’re the one solving the cases, and are bringing down her base Attack Damage to give her foes a little extra breathing room in the earlier stages of the game.
Stats
- Base attack damage reduced from 58 to 54.
Patch 3.5
ChangeGeneral
- : New voice-over.
Piltover Peacemaker
- Cast time changed from 0.64 seconds to 0.64-X (based on bonus attack speed).
Patch 3.3
BuffAce in the Hole
- Cooldown reduced from 70/60/50 seconds to 65/55/45.
Patch 2.6
NerfThe Sheriff of Piltover has been looking a bit strong since she’s made her debut appearance. Her ultimate has been used too effectively as a poke tool, so we are cutting down on its base damage. We still want to preserve the power of Ace in the Hole to execute Caitlyn’s enemies, but want to make sure it’s being used to close a case, not open one.
Ace in the Hole
- Base damage reduced from 300/525/750 to 200/375/550.
