Caustic Season 7 Changes are bad.
What is the point of Caustic in season 7 now. The blurred vision inside the trap is what the Caustic made viable since the Caustic has a enormous hitbox. Everyone can see thru the gas right now so wh...

I truly believe whoever came up with this ridiculous "solution" to the gas problem, is someone who doesn't play the game.
There's literally no other possible reason.
Even the most clueless players in the game IMMEDIATELY realize that caustic is not only a very difficult legend to master, but one that has serious drawbacks to make up for its advantages.
So, DanielZKlein, what about you PLAY the game before pulling such a ridiculous nerf to an already gimped legend?
Regardless, I believe there's a good solution to the issue: since the "damage buff" is obviously mentally challenged, make it so that traps can't be oneshotted at the base, and that they share the player's revive kit hitpoints, so that they can be used as 'cover', so they don't disappear once the gas effect is gone.
This way, since traps are ridiculously useless without the blur, absolutely stupid and negligible in 90% of game situations (open space), and clearly worthless as damage dealing devices, they at least would allow some tactical positioning to open skirmish scenarios.
Sry but i like the change, and i am not a wraith or trashfinder main
I also like this change. Caustic was one of the most annoying characters to fight against, only topped by Wraith. He already received a buff by making his gas not affect Team mates. That's quite an advantageous factor that people seem to ignore.
Gas still slows.
Caustic still sees opponents highlighted
Gas does more damage
Opponents can now see you camping in the corner lol
To be honest, all I see when people ask for Caustic buffs are players who would like his gas to insta-kill. Now a nerf is being made due to popular criticism, and then suddenly he's dead.
Caustic was buffed to be more team friendly already, and even then people continued to demand buffs to him. And that has shown me that people want Caustic to deny an area without any possibility of getting through. They want their gas to act like an absolute sight-taking wall that only your team can look through. They want their gas to screw over people entirely. Really, does that sound like balance to you? Imagine Wattson's electric fence would only allow their team mates to look through it. Imagine if Bangalore's smoke would completely obstruct the sight except for your team. Sounds balanced to me.
Really, people have their opinions and that's okay. And this is one opinion I don't agree with.
- @Peri_Longbow_plz The gas blurred teammates also so there was no advantage that way
Pfff, yeah Caustic is most annoying character, tell this to Wraith, who will always leave the fight with 20 HP!
Not a solution, but I hear that you can combo Caustic gas with Horizon’s Ult. Would make sense.
