I don't know, Caustic is pretty powerful but he's still not overused. I like the way Caustic works and I even like fighting him. Building camping is maybe a problem but its a BR game so you can't ever sit in a building forever. Caustic is situationally powerful, but he's not universally so.
He seems more powerful now that grenades have been reduced to 1 per slot. You usually arc star your way in there, blow the doors. Now you might just have to be smart and not get yourself killed fighting into a situation that favors Caustic.
Caustic is a defensive character, like Wattson. He's meant to hold positions and buildings. I know its weird the way his traps work and that you can hurl them through windows, but in most games I haven't found him to be super broken.
@KelRiever no one is talking about building camping. sometimes your only play is running behind a door, closing it while the enemy is right on the other side and popping a bat, and relying on if they kick x2 they will be stuck in the animation while you equalize by doing free damage after door breaks, or they nade it and you move, but caustic can throw a trap thru a window beside a door and basically ult you for free even if you dont move and you have no time to shoot the base of it. its broken.
tbh what I would do is let the doors be shredded by a high number of points of damage from gunfire. I mean, who knows, like make it 200 damage for all I care. It gives options, gives use to high capacity weapons....Doors that can be kicked open and grenades should also be able to be shredded with enough gunfire...for game purposes not just conceptually. I think that would give more options to this thing about caustic, while not necessarily hurting a Wattson (which is a character that does not need to be nerfed!)
