Caustics traps changes have ruined him.
Before shooting the bottom of the traps once throw at you around a corner or something was too easy. Mid right fight him throwing them meant i just got to shoot at him for free. With the way the traps are now throwing them at enemy's mid gun fight is just a waste of time and the tactile. A team can literally corner themselves and not worry about the causitcs traps they literally just need to spray in their general direction. A caustic trying to defend a spot is no longer applicable as in throwing the traps down in the selected area just means they get show by stray bullets or just bullets intended for you. The only way for the traps to work now is if theyre preset and if thats how it needs to be played id just use watson. She fits the preset traps meta way more effectivly..
What people never understood about caustic is that he isnt a camping defense legend hes really a camper killer. Before id get excited playing caustic to see a wattons posted up somehwere corning themselves because i knew they would make for easy prey. Not to many people played caustic back then because he wasnt as valuable as gibby throughout the game. With the changed to his traps being easy to combat were going to see another decline in the play rate of this legend.
