How to deal with Annie Caitlyn lane in a 2v2 scenario ?

Asked by LevasK on January 24, 2014

So as the name suggests I and people that I get on my team have been having problems dealing with this lane especially if our side fails to hit 2 before them. I think that could be the answer, but since I don't play ADC anymore I don't know.

I am surprised that no one has suggested so far. She nullifies all of 's burst if you take a few early points in . Even If you fail to block Tibbers stun, you can block all the damage that follows and that should allow you to remain in lane.

can also man-handle with ease at levels 2-3. Post-6, it's more like who engages first.

to , as seen in the LCS, seems to be mostly a skill-based lane. If you can sucesfully pull off an aggressive -lane, you should be able to snowball to victory pretty easily. Smarts of each player determine the lane imo.

would be a fine choice if we were talking about a 1v1 situation, but if you take vs + lane you will probably loose straight up. Both and have 200 and 175 Auto Attack range on as well as ] really doesn't do anything in lane except provide .

Might be a bit late for this, but typically a good can beat annie because she can stunlock her and doesn't give a damn about her burst damage. Ezreal can majorly outplay annie as well if you're good at timings.

Hmm I think I will just make a thread for this topic, since it seems that it might be a long one.

@RottedApples
does not counter . The fact that she can shield the traps does not make up for the fact that she has much lower range and should be getting poked every time she wants to get farm.

can beat , but should beat . The fact that she has doesn't mean she can just close the gap and win easily, especially when also has her to back off if necessary.

Obviously, the support pick influences a lane heavily as well, but out of all options, and are literally two of the worst picks to choose against a .

sivir technically counters caitlyn since she can use the traps for free mana and block all her spells. even the ult, which can be game changing. you take out the part of caitlyns kit that gets kills when other adc's can't like that and thats a big deal.
vayne can beat cait. cait will only beat vayne at range and since vayne has mobility she can close that gap. basically for a cait to beat vayne at range it has to be a bad vayne.

Well thank you everyone for your answers I guess I will have to save up for or scream for bans.Also and are only partial answers to , but not to .

Pick something else OP like - . with a strong early game ADC like can work too but it's obviously a bit more risky.

My premade and I usually go + bot lane because can't really do anything to in the early game (or in any phase, unless she gets fed) and can block the initiation stun, if she just times it right. 's abilities can ALL be blocked by , too.

leona pick into annie: as krepo has said many times, "take it up the *** until level 3"

i am certainly not happy to see this duo against me. but the key i have found with annie is to be aggressive. if you let her sit around and poke you for days you will lose because her burst grows quickly. thresh works because you can go hard on her. leona is also good. pick your engagement and go hard. also stay split because annie has two aoe stuns as you know. other than that. pray. lol
