Can we please look at Caustic’s passive for a second?

Considering everyone can see in the gas now and also considering people won’t stand in the gas for more than a second, can we agree Caustic’s passive is the most useless one among any other legends? ...

What the genius people at Respawn development have done is they made the gas see through as long as you're in it. The passive for Nox vision is so BS, you can't see out of it but enemies can see in it. -200 IQ for Respawn devs

@CaptWrekAlyfe There are some rumors on Reddit that Caustic is going to get another nerf sometime this season.
Other than size, first nerf was trap cancelation, then traps can't get into windows (weird rotation before activation), then letting everyone to see inside the gas, and now another nerf is coming... I can't see myself playing him anymore after next nerf, I've been playin him as my main since the first weeks that Apex released (season 0)

@Alphabets Caustic was meant to be use tactically and is effective against 3rd parties. What's the point of having him if they're gonna castrate him. Gibby however is still OP AF

This and many other things will be the thing to not only drive me and other players away, but keep us away. Maybe that's what EA/Respawn wants. A game with ******* up game mechanics but you can look really snazzy and spiffy with their top dollar cosmetics

@Alphabets Yeah for some reason they are making a big deal out of him having the most wins in matches that last 20+ minutes. The excuses being made to nerf him due to pro whiners is amazing.

  @hayhor Yeah, those are the same pro whiners that are part of the 3 to 5 other teams that hang around the final circle not shooting anyone else and end up dying to gas in the end circle

  @hayhor It's a big deal. End circles should not have that stupid meta, you just drop Caustic ult and that's it. You have won. get nerfed fat boii!!
  
  Albralelie has suggested removing damage from Caustic gas, and replace it with vulnerability instead(you take say like X % more damage from every source). Sounds more refined imo. It works like Viper ult from Valorant.

    @BaldWraithSimpAbout end circle meta, I think gibby, bang and fuse can kinda do the same I think.
    Also it’s not all about pro players, how many are in master and pred lobbies?
    Pub/casual games usually ends on the second circle, they took like 10 to 15 min maximum.
    While legends like horizon can own the game the game for 15 min, yet every one talks about caustic’s ultimate on the last circle at min +20
