Is Caitlyn too strong?

Caitlyn is not safer than MF/Twitch. Those champions have entirely different playstyles. If you're asking all three of those champions to play exactly like caitlyn, then yes. Caitlyn is safer than those champions. If you're talking about a scenario where you're walking through the jungle and somebody initiates on you, then no ADC is safe except ADCs with mobility and high dueling power.

Twitch and MF both play differently. MF dances around the outskirts of a fight and looks for an opportunity to ultimate. When she wants to deal damage, it's most likely in a scenario where the people who would jump on her used their cooldowns. The same goes with twitch, but he has stealth, which adds in a whole another level of complexity.

Caitlyn is indeed safer than jinx though because she does have a dash, and she has comparable range. Their playstyles are also very similar, so having similar range and more mobility gives caitlyn the edge.

With your logic, you can argue that Caitlyn is safer than Jhin. This is untrue as all high ranked ADC player knows because jhin can do damage being 2000+ units away.
