@N19htf0x This is full of lies that I would like to point out. For one “Lifeline's drone disappears, I'm pretty sure Wattson's gen disappears, Revenant's totem disappears.” lifelines drone has a shortened time, it is not obsolete. Wattson and revenant have no changes, I don’t know where you got that false information. Your suggestion would make it so Caustic couldn’t place traps in the ring which is an insane idea, it would throw his pick rate and the balance of his abilities down to basically nothing (which they already are). I have played games of wraith, because my friends kept saying how fantastic she was, but I never liked her personality, so I don’t play her much (same with mad Maggie). As for this: “Sure you take 10 damage... every second. You're also slowed while the ring is biting 5 damage every second as well. Also you say traps are pretty easy to see. But the zone severely inhibits vision and caustics like to pop those things behind walls.”
It only does 5 damage a second for two seconds, two seconds is plenty of time to get from one end of the gas to another, I know this because I have done it, and enemies have done it to me. This is not an irregular occurrence that it only takes two seconds, it happens almost every time unless the enemy player doesn’t know how to run. The ring should have no slowing effect, the fact that you say it does, makes me wonder if you actually play. As for the placing it behind walls/ around corners, that is just smart placement. You can’t complain when a player is smart, unless the difference is drastic, in which case you should complain about matchmaking. “I don't know why you're acting like I'm some crybaby asking for a nerf. Caustic traps outside of zone offer him very little utility.” as for this, as you asked me, have you ever played this character? His traps are essential for locking down locations, blocking doors, or stoping am enemy advance. These qualities are essential when in the ring, if you can’t prevent steam from pushing you while you heal from the ring, then you die. These traps are also good for the exact thing you are complaining about, stoping an enemy from getting out of the ring. This is how caustics play, they throw gas at you mercilessly, you can’t expect someone not to be waiting around a corner. If you expect free passage out of the ring, you send yourself to a doom you made. Also as you pointed out yourself they do offer caustic ring help, you got damaged and slowed, so that offered him time to escape, if he didn’t have the ability to even place traps in the ring it would be detrimental to him. I welcome you to actually propose a valuable idea that is not just I died so pls nerf an all read horrible legend. If you really fell so strongly about this, we can have this convo over email, you can message me through this website by clicking on my name in the blue:
