Apex legends Caustic nerf

Can we revert Caustic's canister nerf, it's stupid I can't win fights.... why would you nerf a character that has the lowest play and win rate this season? I play this game cause of abilities, you'r...

@DarthValtrex Gotta have to disagree here, while i think the Caustix nerf was bad design and unwarranted, Caustic had one of the best universal abilities in the game. My win rate and K&D significantly improved since i picked him up as my main back in S2. But nerfing him into a niche role while completely ignoring his downsides into a pure camper is a bad move imo.

@BigBlackCaustic Point taken, I don't main him but definitely played him a lot this season until the nerf to canisters. I've tried it a few times but just get frustrated with how easily the canisters are shot down. I don't expect them to win fights for me, but I would like to be able to at least control the flow of the fight and areas around me with them.

@DarthValtrex Caustic is not an easy Legend to learn, especially offensively. Thats why people used to camp with him a lot even before the nerf.

I rarely came across other Caustics that used aggressive tactics, only a few times. Its strange that this aspect was the one that got nerfed when most people i saw complaining always talked about him camping.
