Caustic is the worst legend teammate to have.

So who’s idea was it to implement someone that punish’s his own teammates by slowing their movement speed and blur their vision??? everytime someone picks him i leave im not playing with this guy he’...

I don't think that proper squad play has really entered into the consciousness of the Apex player base, yet. That's why players say they don't want to be affected by teammates' abilities. They just want to do their own thing and when they can share their abilities they only think they're doing their teammates a favour rather than it being part of the squad effort.

With the gas traps, if the gas didn't hinder the movement of other all other players it wouldn't make sense. It makes sense that teammates don't get damage because damage is a direct part of the conditions of defeating enemies. But movement penalties are part of the environment when there is an AoE affect such as Caustic's NOX gas.

If players would start to think about the roles of the Legends in their squad they would then be able to develop better strategies and tactics. Which does seem kind of unlikely when you see how so many players basically play Apex like complete lemmings (oh what a great game Lemmings was hahaha).

In all actuality though caustic is one of the best legends IMO.

Caustic vs Caustic = Even playing field for the fact that a Caustic's gas can't hurt / or make an enemy Caustic less mobile.

How about playing around your teammate that is using a Caustic to give them support and staying away from the gas traps they lay down. [in a closed environment ie bunker / houses ]

What I see when I'm a Caustic: Is my teammates trying to take / steals kill when an enemy is in my gas trap and I'm sitting right there shooting them then they get caught up in the gas and get knocked. lol

Or If we're out in the open [ not @bunker or a house] The Try hard teammates won't cover me and will go out on their own trying to get kills then end up dieing as a result. While I'm trying to set up a perimeter around me with the traps.

Moral of the story is play to Caustic strengths not his weakness, Caustic is a sluggish legends but his gas traps make up for his mobility.
