Re: Caustic state after 7.3 patch.

@Villent_58

It's that simple huh? I still feel like you don't really know how to use him.

Someone shooting his traps helps because he knows when his traps are gone, so he still knows you are coming. Shooting the trap also makes sound letting others know where you are located. That draws attention to you. How are you going to keep your distance? you just going to back up when you realize that he is there?

His Ultimate definitely could use a little juice, but again, I feel like you aren't using him correctly. This makes every character viable. He's not perfect, but Caustic is more than viable right now. And you seem to forget that right now he he has partners. If he couldn't fire a shot, the other 2 team members would wreck everyone if the opposing teams had a lingering effect from his gas. And give him 2 more traps? You have to be kidding.
And EA has already said that they are working on the hit box issue. Caustic has the ability to break the game like no other character if he is incorrectly boosted.

  • literally not useful at all when his gas doesn't eat health with a shield on it. Like you're saying people are trash with him his kit is useless. Stop trying to make excuses for it.

  • I do have to agree with you that I feel a lot of people are not using him properly. I also agree that his ultimate should be tweeked a bigger radius.

       I have a solution for the gas traps.  These are toxic fumes. I feel that the longer you stay into the fumes. The more damage over time should happen.  Example  7 damage then add 2 then add 3 and so on. This will stop people from lingering in the gas or hiding in the gas.  This will also help caustic in the open areas.  If you tactfully place the traps.  And look at adding 1 more trap.

    I'm the one making excuses? Ok. like I said, he could use some tweaks, but if you feel his kit is useless, I feel you just don't know how to use him very well.
  • This is a good idea. I would have no problem with it doing more damage if you stayed in it, but again, it shouldn't be too strong.
