Idea's on fixing caustic

Caustic in arena feels extremely weak.

His passive is rarely useful, it highlights enemies in your gas when you have direct line of sight, aka a digital threat, but since the gas trap aoe is very small and enemies very swiftly run out of it not to mention you can track enemies with the damage numbers anyway it feels really underwhelming, probably useless much like loba's passive.

A nice change would be to have caustic deal 20% more damage to enemies effected by gas, to truely give it a purpose.

after further testing i can safely say that the trap aoe is way too small, enemies keep walking around the trap aoe, in order to make the traps have an actual effect or at least the passive to be present, the trap aoe needs to be increased by 50%. the trigger radius should also match the gas aoe as the traps are never triggerd by enemy movement, unless they stand on the trap.

    Hes saying Caustic is trash but sugar coding it 🤣
    Maybe his passive can see through walls when enemies are affected by the Aeos.
    Also 10 sec sight aftermath mark.

  • How about  not having legends with F tier abilities going up against S tier? 

    How hard is it for you to walk out of floaty green stuff? 

    How hard is it for you to not notice big red balloons the size of wraith? 

    How hard is it for you go disable these traps by shooting its weak point? 

    If you are getting stomped on by stationary DPS, the problem isn't the gas - it's you. 

    Either you're camping a building or, 

    You're rushing a building without thought or, 

    You're just trying to contend in a gaseous field. 

    If you say no to any of those, gas isn't a problem for you, and it didn't need a nerf. 

    If you say yes to one of those things, try not standing in the fire. It's a game mechanic that's existed since the 80's.

    Cool? 

  • @burnzey91 Preach man, I said this in my Caustic post but people wh complain about caustics gas are people are blindly wander into traps and push a fortified building.
