Small buffs to make caustic better

Caustic is mostly balanced but still needs a little bit of love.  I have come with buffs that I think are enough to make him better.hope respawn like these.

1)  Increase the body size of gas traps.

You know the trick of hiding behind the traps. Increasing its size will make it easier to hide, especially for a thick guy like caustic.

2) Caustic sprints 30% faster in his gas. This will make him deadlier in his nox gas fortress.

3) Teammates don't get affected by gas for the first 5 sec. I heard one dev saying  that caustic gets op if teammates don't get affected by gas. So I thought a little nerf version of it.

4) Caustic can activate traps manualy by looking at it and then pressing X button.  It may be OP let's be honest . We know he can see his traps through walls. What if he can activate them manually even through walls by just looking at it and pressing the button.

What you guys think about these? Let me know.

    @lokesher Let me start this out by saying, yes, Caustic could use a tiny buff, but he isn't priority.

    First, definitely not a 30% run speed increase when in the gas. This speed is on par with Octane stim, Bangalore passive, and Bloodhound ult. Caustic definitely should not get a 30% speed boost while in his gas.

    The other changes are ok, but they should only implement 1 or 2 at most, or else Caustic could become a bit too strong. They could do all 3, but I'm not sure exactly how balanced it'd be.

    @Taketh That's too harsh.

    Caustic definitely doesn't need a nerf.
    His gas does give you a lot of debuffs, but you can literally just walk out of it. You don't need to run straight through it, die from being focused, and then complain here because you didn't feel like trying something other than rushing straight through the POISON GAS.
    Caustic sucks out in the open, and is only good if he is inside. If you can't figure out how to outplay the chunky lad, just disengage or poke from a distance.
    Nothing needs to change about him.

    @Taketh Again, no need for that amount of toxicity.
    If you actually read past just the words, you'd see that my point is Caustic is fine as he is, but he could use a tiny buff. Literally just link the two things I said, and you'd get this.
    Since I was wrong about your situation, please type out what happened to you. If you don't, I cannot tell you the error of your ways. Not telling me what happens and also insulting me is what an unpleasant person would do, and I hope you can rise above that.
