Cmon let’s think about it this BIG guy who doesn’t have any way on defending himself while getting shot at like gibby with his gunshield it’s not really fair, people shreds me within seconds and sometimes I can’t believe it, now the gas is cool I love it but now it’s useless people walk through and see through it easily and I get killed inside my own gas cmon buff and maybe rework caustic

@lops3004My main issue on Caustic is basically the same issue as on Wattson where the enemies are not scared of your defenses so if someone on your team gets knocked they are not afraid to rush right in because the gas/fences are not punishing enough...I even do it myself I play defensive legends enough to know how to get around their defenses undetected in some cases (mainly against Wattsons) and just laser them in the back and against Caustics his gas isn’t nearly as strong as it was back in Season 8 at least not initially so you have a few ticks of room before it starts hurtingOverall I still want defensive legends to be buffed more because even after all of Wattson’s buffs this season she can still feel lackluster sometimes (mainly her fences are too easily destroyed) and the game hasn’t truly been fun since Season 3 (when defensive legends were meta but there also wasn’t a million legends with third party abilities either)

@xAAxAAx Bro you have to be on crack my guy, a NERF? Are you serious my man he’s gotten so many nerfs and now he’s useless, yes they did buff him but that buff normally only kills trash and useless players but for those who know the game a bit can kill me easily with not problem, the gas for caustics is suppose to scare people so they don’t rush inside the gas or scape if they’re in it but people don’t, they legit push inside my gas not being scared of what happens

@xAAxAAx Balancing the game for a select few is the single worst idea any developer can implement. It killed Overwatch after just a year. The main audience is what mattered. Balancing for the main audience is what made Starcraft and Halo so popular they became sports. Now it's just sweaty tryhards reeeeeeing that the game doesn't cater to them.

Where to even start this feedback. Caustic was my favorite legend since he came out and I have sat through countless reworks and nerfs. But this new nerf is absolutely garbage.The fact that the gas trap is no longer usable is ridiculous. People can just destroy the trap mid-dispense. Please put the original caustic back in the game.

@lops3004 I would just make his gas more opaque like Bangalore just not quite as extreme. Even since they tinkered with Caustic, hardly any opponents are slowed down, so the effect is increased again. The damage could also be increased and as a counterattack, robot legends don't get any more damage.Passive I would make it fireproof as a chemist experimenting with dangerous liquids would somehow fit it. But it's just a rough ideaBut like Mirage or Wattson, he should warn his team if someone is triggering their gas remotely.

Caustic needs a serious buff and maybe a rework

@OkulteKeule97 Yeah bruh these a great ideas like increase damages yes, maybe gas radio is too, warn teammates amazing idea and the burning proof thing sounds cool too and it makes sense too but like dude for real people rarely die due to the assist of my gas 😪

The only buff Caustic needs is the ability to see his traps go green on the map if they're activated and also show him doing gas damage to someone. So many times where a team went through gas and I didn't know, only for me to be shot in the back.

@lops3004My main issue on Caustic is basically the same issue as on Wattson where the enemies are not scared of your defenses so if someone on your team gets knocked they are not afraid to rush right in because the gas/fences are not punishing enough...

I even do it myself I play defensive legends enough to know how to get around their defenses undetected in some cases (mainly against Wattsons) and just laser them in the back and against Caustics his gas isn’t nearly as strong as it was back in Season 8 at least not initially so you have a few ticks of room before it starts hurting

Overall I still want defensive legends to be buffed more because even after all of Wattson’s buffs this season she can still feel lackluster sometimes (mainly her fences are too easily destroyed) and the game hasn’t truly been fun since Season 3 (when defensive legends were meta but there also wasn’t a million legends with third party abilities either)

@lops3004 he needs a nerf for sure. not only does he makes the game less fun to play. he is just broken maybe the best hero in the game. you have to balance the game after highest lvl not lowest lvl.

@xAAxAAx I mean compared to the other legends he still barely picked and at the same time these are like very good players that know how to win a 1v1 without the gas but for me I choose caustic because before the assistance of the gas was good but now it’s nothing

@lops3004 again you have to balance after the highest lvl... lets do the middel ground, other heros needs nerfs more then caustic needs buff :D
