Buff Caustic
Caustic is way too slow and needs a movement buff to be able to fight respectfully since his gas isn’t respected at all. I love playing him but nobody respects his gas it’s too weak

- @XLnarrator The developers seem to focus exclusively on the mobility legends. If you look at the pick rates, the top picked ones are likely mobility based. The only exception would be Lifeline. Although she's still exceptionally nimble.
I hate this mobility meta personally. But this is what the majority of the players want. Speed and even more speed. Very rarely do I see people asking for an understandable Rampart buff. And those that I made in the past were highly ignored. However, if you ask for a small Octane nerf - ho boy - watch the horde rolling in. @Peri_Longbow_plzThis is not about Caustic anymore is it? (Oh well tell them to create another Caustic topic). Fans want Wattson and Caustic to be buffed. Have u been on Reddit, alot of her mains want her to be an actual RepairsMan. Dude, they want Defense to be kind of useful. Who can stop the aggressors? Defense, so the offensive would think a little of thier power is a whole lot.
10 sec node for Wattson
Passive for Caustic
Make Rampart a Craftsman
Just a little improvement even aggressors approve of.As the playerbase change, Apex will adapt
- @XLnarrator Right. Back to Caustic.
He needs some sort of buff, yes. But a lot of the suggested buffs often consist of "make his gas deadlier" - We have one guy in this thread who even says "make enemies inside of the gas more vulnerable to incoming damage" - Which would quickly turn him from 'he could be better' to 'now he becomes a necessity'...
The amount of synergies with that buff alone are endless. Almost all damaging abilities would get a 15% buff when paired with caustic (for some legends that's going to be broken) - But even with gunfire alone... 15% more damage is a lot.
I would rather see a utility buff. Which I have proposed a while ago but for the most part got ignored. Go figure, lol. - @XLnarrator
My idea is:
Hes a mad scientist, his passive should be altering his Health and Shield into gas utility. Then he'll have an actual passive, his Canister would be deadly, and he'll be more mobile Did they even take away the extra visible enemies in gas? I cant remember the last time I saw someone outlined that was in my gas. I wouldn't even care if they took away the damage but brought back the vision blur. My biggest gripe with him at the moment though is that when the damage was boosted they added the ability to shoot the barrels whilst deploying at the same time. Then they reduced the damage but left the easily destroyed traps. At the moment the only thing caustic really feels useful for is blocking doors quickly with traps.
I accept that its not an easy thing to balance but I played him right from the start and it would be nice if he was in a better place again.
