@Sir_Named "You still haven't head on answered why the pros don't use him, and why he is only B and C tier on the lists. And you also haven't mentioned what streamers say he is really strong."

Different question: What makes a professional a professional? The fact he can kill everything reliably with high accuracy? Or that he can use his legend's kit reliably in favor of the team?

The former is basically answered with: Caustic is just not their role. Why would I want to use a stationary character if my goal is killing people? Obviously Pathfinder, Bloodhound, Wraith or Octane are better choices then. But that's not Caustic being bad or a low tier, that's him being a different approach on the game.

Which quickly brings me to the "Which steamer" - One streamer that looked trustworthy because he also had a website for it: Dottzgaming. Caustic and Wattson are placed in the A-Tier.

I also took myself the freedom to look over your above mentioned tier lists, and went a bit further: By seeing whether they made one prior or not. And yes, some of them indeed did. Aside from updates, there was another thing I noticed: Some of them switched from "stationary" to "mobility" probably because their play style simply evolved.

And I mean I see that myself, and on myself. I previously played much more with Lifeline because sniping people on distance and patching up damage reliably was kind of my play style. Now I use Pathfinder or Bloodhound and go more head-on in fights. And who knows, maybe in 2 or 3 more months I sit there and use even more offensive approaches.

Point is, you eventually turn into a killing machine. Most level 200+ people I Play with and who are jumpmasters jump into rare-loot cities which gets us killed 95% of the time. So why use Wattson or Caustic for that if you could also just use Pathfinder, Wraith or Octane for that?

@Ionzur Caustic is only strong when he's played correctly or you get him to end game circles. Also, Golden helmet caustic is even stronger as more gas.

@Peri_Longbow_plz Well, yeah. Caustic isn't as good at a higher level, so people don't use Caustic as much.
