Where the [Admin - Removed] are the Caustic buffs?

It makes absolutely no sense to not give buffs to Caustic.

He was “decent” on kings canyon but on this new map his uselessness has pretty much increase because of the ridiculous amounts of outdoor terrain, he is basically useless on open fields.

His abilities are really bad compared to almost every other legend, he has no mobility or defensive capabilities, and his ofensive abilities (nox gas) are completly over shadowed by the fact that a single of bangalore’s or gibraltar’s ult will probably do way more damage than all the nox gas damage you do in a single match, getting good damage from the gas is actually pretty hard to get against enemies that are not braindead.

If you are going to argue that his traps are for creating space instead of doing good damage, then the WHOLE design behind Caustic is flawed and makes no sense..

The fact that you can destroy his traps by firing a single bullet to the bottom of the canister makes him even more useless, HOW THE F#CK do you expect Caustic to fulfill his job as a “TANK” who creates space by placing traps that are supposed to be a threat to the enemy when they can simply destroy his canisters 100 times faster than the trap arms itself ????? IT MAKES NO SENSE!!!

Enemies that are not braindead are not scared of his gas, they are just annoyed bit it, just like the players in your team.

Ive seen enemies in a room full of gas taking their time killing me or my squad for like 10 full seconds of gas damage, you would think that for a legend that is suposed to create space with his abilities you would see the enemies desperately trying to get out of his gas but they couldnt care less about it, they can just charge in and kill you.

Bloodhound got a buff, bangalore got a buff, Mirage got some quality of life changes, EVEN gibraltar got some pretty good buffs,

BUT SOMEHOW CAUSTIC, ONE OF THE LEAST USED LEGENDS IN THE GAME, GETS ABSOLUTELY NOTHING.

NICE [Admin - Removed] LOGIC RESPAWN

    @MrNyahr Gibraltar and Bangalore also negatively affect teammates. It’s probably so that the gas doesn’t become too strong, as imagine gassing up an entire house and then your teammates can just rush in and get easy kills while the enemy is at a severe disadvantage.
    I think throwing range would be better, as well as a bigger radius.

    @Professor_Doggy Those are good ideas.
    I’m not sure the laser thing should happen though, as that’s kind of Wattson territory. More trigger range would help though.

    You can trigger the gas easily enough by placing it then shooting it. This can be done directly in front of you to give you both physical cover and deny line of sight.

    I agree with people saying the gas needs more height to it.

    I would say instead of dealing more damage to the traps, they either tick damage faster, or reach max damage faster (IE 2 added damage per tick instead of 1).

    Would also rather see the gas damage tick faster when 2 traps are in radius of an enemy rather than just adding 1 pip of damage for the extra trap.

    Also not sure if his tactical is quite enough. I think he should be able to see more clearly in all gas, including Bangalore's. If his tactical is all about being experienced with gas, he shouldn't be as easily blinded by his own or others, IE able to peek outside his gas when others can't really see him inside his own.
