Did not the Caustic get a gas buff??
Was playing today and noticed only 1 tick per damage. Really 1 damage??!
Why can't we punish people for going through or staying in it? My earlier example would be BASE DAMAGE 5 or 7 whatever next round BASE DAMAGE plus 1,or 2 then BASE DAMAGE plus more 3or 4 etc. The longer in it more potent it is.
The cooldown was reduced and the radius increased. the damage was not buffed just the 1 second delay before damage begins was removed.
But I agree the damage needs to be increased
Damage doesn't really need a boost because it ignores shields..
I main Caustic.
Community AdminHey, the changes haven't been put in yet, they'll go live when Season 1 starts.
Caustic
Traps - Reduced cooldown to 25 seconds from 30 seconds
Traps - Increased radius and proximity radius by about 10%
Traps - Removed a 1 second delay on the smoke dealing damage to player
For the trap damage, it ramps up the longer a player spends in the gas, up to (i think) 10 damage a tick if they get trapped in the gas for the duration.
The issue isn't at all the damage; it's the bulk, the setup/throw times, the tiny activation/area of effect, and the fact that I'm a blimp, and even among my gas I'm still 3x as blatant as my Wraith or Lifeline... but why? I have a load-out to use as well, I want a chance in gunfights as well. We shouldn't be stapled to our kit, which is exactly what Caustic's model/hitbox tells you that you need to do to prosper--but even then, you're easily countered. You and your traps are bulky and very visible even in cover, traps can be shot, activated and run from, grenaded; meanwhile I personally have no ability to sustain myself in any fight. People just sit outside the gas; so not only does my vision work, but I have an enormous target on my back from: Being in a giant smoke cloud that BEGS for attention, being just a generally big Legend, people can set up while the smoke clears if they are smart. He's just too intensely situational with how he's built right now. No other character/character's team gets punished so much for simply PLAYING the character, it makes no sense at all. Pity, because I absolutely LOVE the idea behind him.
THAT DOES NOT HELP
He still screws his teammates. Lose the blur and slow on team mates or he is a troll pick on the select screen. Geez
And they are still too slow, visible and easily destroyed
EVERY legend ability in the game that does not self target can hurt/benefit allies and enemies. That is the nature of the game. It encourages smart play and punishes bad play.
Why is it always fanboys like you on every forum running their gob this is how the games is blah blah blah. Games can and should be improved if the community is asking for it you GOB!!!
