Caustic is so bad and useless now
i had like four traps down the elevator right next to each other, and i used the caustic alt that landed right on a team getting gassed by literally four traps, and i shot at them who landed right o...

@hayhor As a Caustic main I share his sentiment.
It's not the deterrent it used to be. I've engaged against people/squads who are quite happy to stand in the gas and get on with it. There is no sense of urgency to get out of it like there used to be. It's frustrating as that's the whole point of Caustic... to discourage people from entering a zone or engaging with you or force them to relocate/panic to even the odds (gas grenade can turn a 1 v 3 into a 1 v 1 very quickly, or at least it used to).
The traps should have consequences. They don't anymore. As a Caustic main with 2800 kills I can say from first hand experience I have noticed the difference. It's discouraging.
There seems to be a move to "dumb down" the game and hamper any sort of ability/playstyle other than the shoot-shoot-shoot meta.

@RockDokRock I am a caustic main with about 500 wins so I think I actually have more experience with him than you. My experience goes back to when he could throw barrels through window slats until the current state so I've experienced it all.
Yes caustic has taken a beating both in direct and indirect nerfs. The biggest nerf is the move to all other characters having mobility while caustic is gigantic with no mobility.
My point still stands tho, the OP example video shows how people blame nerfs when it is a tactical mistake that got them killed.
