@DevsREgotisitc Because he is useless after the nerf?
You got a visual bug now making it easy to see through the gas, he got an unjustified ult nerf cooldown, and then yes, his damage is so useless in the gas now people just blind push. Watson is now far superior because people actually have to stop for her traps, while Caustic people don't even stop now.

@BarretOblivion Lmao Watson is terrible compared to caustic still her traps do way less damage Eve after the buff, have a damage cooldown, can’t block doors, and can be destroyed by gas
- 5 years ago@DevsREgotisitc Wattson doesn't only have her fences with her pylon destroying grenades and cancels out plenty of the legends abilities and with the stun of her fences and the larger amout of fences she can place she is better than caustic and looking on the damage between caustic and wattson wattson would do more damage with being just 2 seconds in her fence doing like 30 damage verses caustics traps having to sit in it for 6 seconds to even out damage.
- 5 years ago@DevsREgotisitc You entirely missed the point. Caustic now no longer does the job of slowing nor stopping pushes with the nerfs. Watson still stops teams, even if only slightly she does a better job now at being a defensive character. People respect the fence, they no longer care about the gas.
Lets be honest though, beside Gibby who is basically an assault character at this point instead of a defensive character, all defense characters are terrible at this point. There are too many buffs to push/attack characters to enhance their abilities to circumvent fortified defensive postitions and overall solid tactics to the point where they straight now can ignore, or easily circumvent a defense character.
Is that really the whole point to make this game a mad rush game at this point? Throw away tactics, planning, and over thinking for just a CoD rush BR?
Rampart, Caustic, and Wattson need buffs to counter the hyper aggression that they are supposed to stop or slow down. Maybe damage isn't the thing, maybe giving these characters more HP/harder to hit tacticals, have stronger crowd control when those tacticals do hit targets, etc. You can't just nerf their damage and wonder why they are so bad when you already nerfed their "annoying factors" like the Pros want.- RockDokRock5 years agoSeasoned Ace@BarretOblivion You basically nailed it. The underlying theme with people who seem to be ok with nerfs to Caustic and other defence oriented character is that it's a FPS game and shooting is the be all end all. Other playstyles/tactics aren't tolerated as the underlying "GiT GuD" with shooting is, really, the underlying argument.
I think having different playstyles and options makes the game more dynamic and interesting. In all honesty, it's kind of sad that many just want "rush rush rush, shoot shoot shoot" as the only viable playstyle. A bit one dimensional. As soon as you make them think, pause or reconsider a scenario you get howls of protest. Maybe the "gIT gUd" comment should go towards them to deal with it rather than punishing different playstyles. - 5 years ago@BarretOblivion For defense legends Wattson could have more health with her fences and have low profile removed and Caustic with a bit more damage and something else but I don't really know and Rampart I think should have something to do with climbing her walls I was thinking making it so that when the top part is still up people climbing through there get stunned and when the top part is broken people don't get stunned and maybe it does 5-10 damage when not broken.
