Caustics nox gas ability needs a little buff
So Caustics gas is supposed to be used as area denial from what i can see, but the dmg it does isn't enough in this high ttk game (hope it stays with this ttk PLEASE). People will still run through ...
Forum Discussion
My real life friends complain that when I use his gas it disorients them and makes them slow or have issues aiming. They also can't see through it.
So, when it pops off, it is a great way to have my team yell at me in real life....wooo.
Since it does anemic damage they double down on how much he sucks.
Signed - a fan of caustic..
I was really excited to unlock him.
This.
I'd like to know what genius thought Caustic should effect his team. Good way for groups to fall apart because I dared to like the crazy scientist
- Allies should see through gas. Allies should not be slowed in gas. These two small boons would make all the difference.

Seems like a plus for Caustic to me.
His dmg should be slightly improved, i guess they should also add a dot to it.
But he can literally turn a house into a bunker by blocking the doors, and still trap the outside because it is not really limited in the number of traps. He has real advantages that must also be taken into account to balance it out.
I'm trying to focus on Caustic and was intending on him being my main but his special skills are just not that special. He's listed as a trapper but after using his skills for a night he's more of an annoyance than anything.
No one really try's to avoid his gas be it from mines or his main special attack, you just run through it and the damage is almost negligible. He seriously needs a buff, heck I'd take area denial over annoyance never mind trapping. Please consider giving his damage output a buff so he's a legitimate threat.
I think his gas should be a DOT and remain in effect even when you leave the cloud.
It should effect the targets vision so they have a hard time aiming.
It might have a disorienting effect.
Definetly do more damage so that his gas isn't treated as a nuisance which it is now.
1) Add impact/proximity bonus effect or damaged (if enemy triggers trap 12dmg.)
2) remove any negative effect from teammates( Please)
3) increase gas damage from ⚽ to 7-10 per second. ) (When it takes over 100 damage points to kill some, 1, 3, or 5 wouldn’t make a difference. 7 to 10 would stop people from just running through gas, like gas is a light rain )
I understand balance and all, but gas is useless.
Another idea why aren't the mines invisible to the other team? The idea behind a mine is that it's a trap right? and Caustic is suppose to be a trapper? Why shouldn't his mines vanish when he lays them down? Just seems this legend needs a bit more attention to his skills, it's a great idea that needs some polishing.
so
Make mines invisible to the other team.
