Caustic Ultimate Buff
I feel like Caustic’s Ultimate could use a buff. 4 damage on initial impact is far below the initial damage for the ultimates of Gibraltar, Bangalore, and Crypto. The radius isn’t as large either and...
Nah. Caustic is already the easiest legend in the game to play. All you caustic mains just go in the buildings and just set traps at the entrances and ziplines. For example I'm playing duos as wraith with a bloodhound, we are at the cage and some guys are just camping at the top with all traps at the top of the zipline and if we were to push them we would just get shredded. Like really you have characters like octane, wraith and Bangalore for fast-paced combat and then there's caustic "Oh let us just hide in this building till there's one squad left and just throw my ultimate down in the last circle so I can see everyone and they can't see me". Buffing his ultimate would just encourage more players to play the "camping strategy" which would just ruin the game.
@PracticeAltWraith phases and you can shoot gas bags at the base to render them useless so I’m not sure how getting past gas bags is a problem. You argument that ‘Someone uses their abilities to hold a position, I don’t like that nor do I know how to counter.’ isn’t particularly convincing.
Wattson can also hold a position. Every legend can use grenades and guns so you can have fast paced battles with anyone.
Buffing Caustic to a level on par with his peers won’t wreck the game.
