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...

@hayhor Well, isn’t that what the nerf is? That enemies can shoot it anywhere before it fully expands?

@Sir_Named

The exact terminology in the patch notes is as follows:

Caustic

Enemies can cancel Caustic’s barrel by shooting it before it is fully inflated.

That to me implies it CAN be shot anywhere whilst inflating to be disabled,so I don't think it's a bug at all.

However the inflation time is extremely slow, making the nerf a serious problem for caustic lol.

This in itself I could have lived with, it's inability to throw traps through windows that's bugging me lol.

"It" implied shooting "the bottom"
How can they rever it to the whole barrel ?? Doesn't make sense.
Probably the Dev and QA didn't clarify so they made the mistake.

Unfortunately not, anywhere on the canister free game until it inflates, stupid.

Just being back season 4 caustic or make the time to inflate half what it is now. 3 seconds to throw and inflate at mid range is stupid.

@asukojo I was in the firing range more. I cannot shoot my barrel down until it fully inflates.

I have yet to see someone shoot my barrel down before it inflates. Again tho, I dont throw them at people except through windows.
