Buffing Caustic's Traps
Caustic's traps needs a buff: I've played so many games where an enemy in a small room wouldn't trigger any of the Caustic traps. When I say small, I'd say as small as the smallest room in the bunk...
As a Caustic main, of course I agree with the sentiment of this post. But there are some things I disagree with and agree with.
Agree:
1. There is an issue with the traps not triggering sometimes when an enemy is dancing around them
2. There is an issue with traps disappearing by doorways
Disagree:
1. Not sure why you would want to make his traps smaller. One of the perks of his traps is that he can use them as cover. Which can come in clutch, especially in this more open map where this is less cover in places.
2. Removing the disarm traps would make them extremely strong. But I would like to see the disarm trigger gain some health so that it can't be disarmed so effortlessly. Maybe like 60-80 health.
An idea to explore might be allowing Caustic to remotely trigger his traps with an ability but I really don't think he's underpowered currently. The only thing I think that would balance him out a bit is to give him a smaller hitbox inline with someone like Mirage and remove fortified.
