Early game (levels 1–5)

You out-scale and out-trade Caitlyn: she pokes with headshots and traps but is squishy with only a net for mobility, so once W and E are up you punish any greedy step-up by detonating a venom stack. Farm behind minions, respect her range, and look to walk her down when her net is on cooldown.
