Caustic passive
Why my boy Caustic can't get a new, normal and useful passive? He feels so old compared to other legends like some sort of character that has been forgotten.

@moder913 I think caustic should deal 20% more damage to people in his gas
and especially with the new upcoming maps that are super open, im worried caustic will fall off super hard, he already sucks in olympus and WE due to so much open space
surely the devs have an idea of how to make him viable in open area's?
more gas AOE?
rework health on gas traps to be fixed so they cant be disabled so easilly?

I used to really like Caustic, even back in his original state. I hardly play him now because I feel like I am just making things harder for myself by picking him.
His traps are far too easily destroyed. I would like to see them remove the ability for anyone to destroy them whilst deploying with one shot as it is already too easy to disable them with one shot to the base anyway and it will allow them to be used offensively again.
@Piabetici completely agree, i think the devs should be more open with enabling deployable defences be placed on the move, I dont know why rampart's wall needs to charge up on health as it severely weakens her along with the long animation times.
caustic is the same story, long animation cast times on his abilities while the gas traps are extremely easy to destroy, i liked it more when you had to shoot the bottom part to destroy them while building upIf the devs think rampart's wall is too powerful with 500 hp instant deployable, simply increase the animation time, decrease the max amount of deployable walls, and increase the cooldown.
i'd rather have 1 good reliable ability, than 5 walls that can only be used when hard-camping, same with caustic, i dont know why they prefer making his traps so weak, but giving him so many. its encourages camping gaming which is bad for the game
- @KrakaDrak It's okay that Caustic traps can be destroyed before ramping up, because before that people use them like little gas grenades, which isn't okay for defensive class. Now Caustic have abilities for different playstyles. The main problem is that his gas is not too thick that Bangalore smoke which is very strange and I don't know why devs don't pay attention to it.
Again, if we return in season 0-5, we can see that his passive was pretty useful, because only Caustics can see enemies on the gas clouds. But with big changes people start to forgot that Caustic even have passive. That what I was mean then I say that "He feels so old". You can see clearly through Caustic gas now, even if you not in it. So what the point of his "my vision is clear"?- @moder913 I'd say defensive legends are fundamentally flawed, they are completely designed around a campy playstyle with tons of deployables that are extremely weak individually.
I'd love to see the devs go more towards a gibraltar type design where you have a very powerful ability with a long cooldown, but at least you know that it's powerful.
I would totally support caustic become more powerful but lowering his max trap placement from 6 to maybe 3 or 4 if his gas was made more powerful in return, say 30% more gas aoe, or his gas cannot be seen through, perhaps caustic passive dealing 20% more damage to people in gas?
