Playing as Caitlyn

Make use of her Yordle Snap Traps by placing them pre-emptively to ensure that you'll have one off of cooldown during combat.
Avoid using Ace in the Hole in large team melees as it might be blocked by the wrong target.
Fire 90 Caliber Net away from the opponent to close the gap or hop over walls.

Playing against Caitlyn

Keep behind allied minions if Caitlyn is harassing you with Piltover Peacemaker (it deals less damage with each subsequent target).
You can intercept Ace in the Hole's missile from hitting an ally if you stand in its path.

Lore

Renowned as its finest peacekeeper, Caitlyn Kiramman is also Piltover's best shot at ridding the city of its elusive criminal elements. She is often paired with Vi, acting as a cool counterpoint to her partner's more impetuous nature. Even though she carries a one-of-a-kind hextech rifle, Caitlyn's most powerful weapon is her superior intellect, allowing her to lay elaborate traps for any lawbreakers foolish enough to operate in the City of Progress.
