Caustic meta (vs wattson)
Anyone noticed how so many people are playing caustic in ranked now? Not only is he great for the single floor building fights that happen on Kings canyon, but I've realized he’s better than wattson because he actually can
- physically block doors
- deal continuous damage straight to health
- impair vision while being able to see through it
- Activate his traps before they’re shot out whereas wattson’s fences can be shot out easily in most situations
- slow enemies for longer
- prevent pushes in CQs because his gas is such a bad thing to be caught in, making it easy for revives in heat of battle
- Has 15% damage reduction to incoming bullets, whereas Wattson takes 5% more damage and limb shots count as body shots for her
No one carries grenades anymore. How many times do you loot death boxes to find 0 nades, occasionally 1-2 grenades MAX? The only thing wattson is good for is being a less effective barricader, replenishing shields slowly, and occasionally being able to stop an artillery ult. But most teams will find a way to shoot it out before using their artillery. They need to find a way to make wattson good again, or nerf caustic a little, maybe nerf the slowing effect. Or vision impairment. Caustic is up there with most annoying characters to fight with gibby and pathfinder. Wattson does have her perks, but it’s starting to look like caustic is just the better person to take in ranked over wattson. Almost comparable to Gibraltar vs Lifeline. When picking between those two, Gibraltar wins every time. It’s not THAT drastic of a difference because sometimes wattson would be a better pick in certain cases, but caustic.... He’s really good now
- wattson main (in ranked at least lol)
