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 on the traps and the gas didn't kill them... they just sat in it pretty much that low and didn't die? just whoa! the traps do literally no damage now its ridiculous. His special is trapping and whats the point if the traps don't even do anything for damage? its not easy to get people to even go near them. Hes a really large character so he gets light up in open spaces. Meanwhile the account that flys uses his alt takes away all your health and you cant move in open spaces, literally destroying you.. with caustic you need to lure people in buildings and stuff its not nearly as easy. Also the fact you took out lifelines shield is crazy too to counter the shield you just shoot from a different direction, like you are making accounts powerful, and some useless. Imo the best season was 1,2 because the accounts all had abilities that were really good, now its just many are dulled down while others are overpowered... why not just bring it back how it was where all were very good? sorry if this is in the wrong place, move my topic if so but i didn't know where else to post it and i hope the game makers can see this... because its just horrible how things like this are affecting the game, making it unfair for others.

Can you please bring him back? he wasn't even overpowered before considering all the factors i mentioned.

  • Caustic is literary the worst legend among all in my opinion.

    Honestly, compare abilities to octane or pathfinder that how fast they act, he can put traps and hope to get some results, while no one actually gives a damn about his traps and ultimate!

    People push me in my ultimate on a tower! what is that?! at least they afraid a little of Wattson fences!!!
    3 seconds standing in the gas is equal to 1 fence tick! plus it has a stun/slow effect more effective than gas.

    Caustics passive is also trash!!! When Revenant's passive let him walk silently and a full building height, Caustic let you see enemies in gas (like Horizon can see, but it considered a "unique" passive for caustic)  

  • Can’t imagine how hard it is for Caustic mains playing ranked this split on Olympus. The map is mostly open with less houses to bunker down as Wattson or Caustic.  With Respawn already having a hard time balancing the roster with the number of legends right now, I don’t think they can keep up in 5-6 seasons. I guess we’ll just have these underpowered legends.

    @BigBlackCaustic  I completely agree, I said as much as myself in another thread bud.

    My point is if they avoid trying to be the class clown they won't receive any backlash further down the line when they take a collosal swing and miss with one of these jokes. 😛
