Re: How to easily balance Caustic.

@Popa2caps I disagree with the idea that his hitbox should be changed. Currently his hitbox is fine with no real bugs or issues, big yes, but it's fine. Secondly, I hate to tell you this but if you're having difficulties with Caustic Traps and your solution is to make his ultimate his new tactical - allowing Caustic to place a blanket of gas down whenever he wishes - you would soon see how broken and abusive that idea would play out. It would 100% make Caustic more offensive, in fact it would make him the most offensive legend in the game - you would always be at a disadvantage in a fight against him. Furthermore, Caustic players would be just as 'campy' even with your changes...

I'd say play Caustic for a couple of days. He can be used effectively in both offensive and defensive playstyles, depending on how you utilise your Gas Traps and Ultimate. You would also realise that there is always an incentive to go out and look for more loot - most buildings and locations never have enough loot to fully kit someone to the point that they will kill a full squad if they happen to walk into a room with you.

Caustic is a big chunky boy. And should be treated with respect, young man.

  • i love caustic he's been my mane since season one over 7k kills as of november 11 2020 .Season seven has really hurt caustic I get taking away the blurr but that destroys his passive and hurts his kit majorly. As I see it to fix it and giving people what they want is to make the gas as thick as Bangalores smoke. Like one gas canister equals one smoke grenade as to compare the thickness that way it's hard to see but visions not blurred and caustics passive has use again  being a defender healing reviving in gas has been my go to to support my team now I've even tested it the gas isn't thick enough to do this anymore everyone can see through it  and regardless of aoe the gas bomb isn't even thick enough to push away or to push in or to hide in it's now useless mostly  so his passives useless and he can't defend other than to temporarily block doors wich people just walk through now so please fix this he needs it if he can't be fixed he's going to end up being the new pathfinder

    @Aciddraggon You should probably make a new thread for that. This thread was from July of 2019, the arguments here are way outdated.
