Caustic needs a buff

Question

I play caustic consistently. And the radius for gas traps needs to be increased. Multiple occasions players walk by traps and they don’t set off. It’s rather ridiculous. And lag time for gas trap initiation. He is already big bodied and disadvantaged.

@Matter2Matter&nbsp;I use to play Caustic often before the developers and content creators basically decided that only certain Legends are allowed to be meta, even going as far as to say Mirage can never be Meta at one point (I think it was Mirage).&nbsp; The traps do have a radius issue, I have run past some door traps and people have run past mine.&nbsp; The season 10 buff might help to get his pick rate up again, but then they messed with the only part of his kit that worked and nerfed his ultimate, so I'm afraid he still won't be played.Off-TopicI honestly wish we could have a balance between Offensive, Defensive, Support, and Recon Legends, it just feels like some classes and Legends get way too much love and others don't.&nbsp; If you just have a look at the Watson debate and she DOES need a BIG buff I don't care what the developers say, Caustic isn't far behind being useless, but Horizon gets a buff back to almost her old self.&nbsp; Why?&nbsp; It feels like the developers are assisting a certain playstyle instead of allowing the community to play as they wish.&nbsp; I don't care if some don't like Caustic, I don't like Wraith mains, but she is part of the game and I deal with her, same with weapons.&nbsp; Spitfire, well if it's OP (And it's not, I'll still outshoot you with a Flatline) pick it up, stop crying when you get shot by one and use it.We need more or less the same amount of Legends per class I would say or just delete the class if you can't balance them all out as currently the trap legends are lost.Apologies for the rant, I was just going to say the traps have an issue and all the other issues came trough, sorry&nbsp;

@Matter2Matter Place gas traps close to doors but not close enough that players can see/shoot them before entering, I like to open doors and place them behind the door so a player just sees an open door and walks in and instantly sets it off or I place them places where a player is likely to go but is unable to see them until its too late like behind a rock,crate, etc

I see alot of caustics just randomly throw traps down in the middle of the room and in terrible places in general without actually thinking before they are placing

@Matter2MatterCaustic is getting a Buff and a Nerf, his traps will do 5, 5, 6,6,7,7,etc (with no limit on how much it can increase) but his gas traps will be 5 seconds shorter...
