Caustic change not so bad
I feared for caustic because I assumed the destructible canister would be one hit kill like it is now, but 150 hp is not so bad. This allows him to still be zoning but also incentivizes enemies to al...

@EEAAITSINTHEDLCNo, I'm not new. Naturally my speculation yesterday was without seeing it in action. No need to be condescending. I'm simply saying this isn't a net negative. If a team of 3 is pushing through your smoke, shooting the canister or not makes little difference. Don't react to changes with your gut. Think about stuff first. Notice I said it's 'almost' a buff. One on one this is a net positive, even if very small. You're free to have your own opinions though.
If a team of 3 see your gas cannister, they shoot it, its gone. The gas DOES NO DAMAGE if you destroy the cannister EVEN IF THEY WALK THROUGH IMMEDIETALY AFTER ITS DESTROYED. This isn't a buff at all. This is a Hardline Direct NERF.
- @EEAAITSINTHEDLC Don't be disingenuous. You're ignoring the conditional hypothetical I'm proposing so you can seem right.
Nothing you propose makes any type of sense, that fact that you thnk this is in any way a positive is proof enough Respawn can continue to mock people like you and you wont even figure it out they are mocking you. 150 isnt even half a mag from mot weapons in the game. Stop with trying to look smart, i watched 2 people instantly destroy caustics traps someone placed inside a building in a fraction of a second and then beamed the caustic player. People run through the gas now without any fear what so ever. The gas traps can still be one shot by shooting the base of the traps before the yare set off, and then they do this? They still haven't fixxed the bug with his passive that allows him to see enemies stuck in the gas, and they won't even give a reason why they've done this change.
People like you are the reason these devs and game companies get away with how they treat players and people who pay for games, you don't have any integrity, you won't call out B.S when they smack you in the face with it. They've done Nothing but Nerf after Nerf , after nerf to this legend.
@LetMeVsBots Sorry but there's no positive side to this nerf. Previously Caustic could block a door to prevent a push but now they can just blast through the trap. The nerf changes nothing in a 1v1 since they can still ignore the trap and finish Caustic.
You're also more vulnerable to grenades, Fuse, Maggie and even Rampart than you've ever been. IF Caustic is still the 2nd best defensive Legend its only because most defensive Legends are still pretty bad.
I honestly can't say if it is negative or positive. I do know that caustic was quite op, so part of me wants to feel the nerf on his gas is a good thing.
I've seen a few mentions about people now just being able to easily destroy the tanks. They didn't seem that hard to destroy in the first place so I fail to see how that is a valid argument. Maybe it's just easier to destroy them at doors then, when someone used to have to use grenades, an ability, or risk a lot of damage to break the doors before?
On the negative side it seems caustic has lost his ability to be able to camp. Which I'm finding hard to see as negative, the only reason it would be is because now your team's ability to effectively hold themselves up in a building has been slightly diminished. And if that's really what people are upset about, then I find it silly.
I also see a lot mentioned about his lack of damage reducing buffs? I feel as a defensive legend, he should probably have one of some kind. Maybe a bit more resistance to flames? I wouldn't go as far as saying immune but a resistance sounds nice.
Caustic's gas is either way still yucky and I'd prefer to not be in it as I still see it as unneeded damage.
