Was not Caustic gassed buffed?

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
