Caustic Gas and Wattsons Fences

I’ve said it before and I will say it again Caustics Gas should NOT damage wattsons fences... they can’t breathe so it shouldn’t affect them this is annoying as hell, its fine whenever crypto does it...

    @FaIIenAngeI777 I can't argue with that, that's a stupid situation...

    At least they should buff wattson ult to counter caustic tactical, since it's throwable too.

Wattson's ult doesn't eat devices. Caustic Canisters are not "throwables" They are devices like Wattson's Nodes, Mirage Decoy, Heal Drone, Surveillance Drone, and Dome Shield of Protection. 

Plus, only enemy Caustic Gas will destroy Wattson's Nodes or Damage her Pylon ultimate.

Friendly Caustic Gas won't damage the nodes or her Pylon. However, a friendly Caustic shouldn't ult the floor or his ult will still get eaten. 

Besides that, Caustic is a natural counter to an Enemy Wattson. I have no issues with it especially now that Respawn finally fixed it so friendly gas doesn't destroy my fences which is what made me mad many months ago. Now I no longer get mad if friendly Caustics place their canister next to my fences.

    @Leo_the_Lion25 Well, it could’ve been a balancing mechanic to prevent too many traps in one place.
    I mean, it would be kind of annoying to be gatekeeped in a choke point by a Wattson and a caustic
