@hayhor They need to just stop with the nerfs. Stop listening only to top streamers as if the player base does not matter but they do. They get sick of being gassed all time. They make a post and boom changes are being done. Its a horrible business model imo to only listen to one genre of gamers on their game.
Instead lets nerf played legends and not buff the legends who are hardly touched.

Its like the devs have their heads in sand. Constant wraith nerfs, nerf pathfinder into the ground, now rumors of caustic nerfs yet gibby is like Thanos
I mean what's the point of having "gas traps" if they don't deal damage? It'd become the same q as Bangalore's one, just green smoke instead of grey lmao. If they do that it'd be probably the dumbest idea in ages.
- @Cro_Pittt Worse than bangalore smoke because I cant stop her from deploying the smoke. 🤣
- @Cro_Pittt Damage doesn't always has to be decreasing your Hp. There is another thing called 'vulnerability', you take like say 100%(too op?) more damage from all sources if you are inside the gas. I like this better than the current one.
@ILostT0Loba That's pretty nonsense to me. It'd only make things more complicated. But then do we need to take damage from gibby's ult? shouldn't we just be slowed by it and take more damage when shot while slowed? You can apply that to almost every other legend as well so my point is to just leave Caustic as he is now, a very strong legend.
- @Cro_Pittt If Gibby ult does 40, you would take 80.
- @ILostT0Loba if they changed it to "vulnerability" then he wouldn't be a defense character anymore. He'd be a support and who would want to pick a big bulky support character that have a very limited range? Lets not forget his gas cans only work after someone triggers it and it's easy as hell to disarm. They'd have to completely rework him if they want to make his gas apply vulnerability instead of damage.
After playing Caustic for about 2 hours to get a bit of progress on "Win with 8 Different Legends", and I can honestly say Caustic is in a really weird spot to me. Because he's really good at locking areas down, obscuring vision, and just making close quarters fights a massive pain to win. The gas damage is really nice, and people still fear triggering barrels.
But at the same time, the barrels take so long to deploy, and the fact that people can spam the bottom to insta-destroy it is pretty annoying. Plus, sometimes people just walk by the barrel itself and it never triggers. Or they just go through it full speed and it doesn't obscure vision and does barely any damage to them.
I think if I were to change anything, it'd be to make the barrel itself have two different functions. If you hold down Q and wait for the animation, it makes a standard barrel. No changes there. But if you just tap it you'll throw out a mini barrel that starts spewing gas immediately upon hitting the ground, it starts and stays at 5 damage per tick, and its duration and area of effect are at least halved. Gives you more aggressive and reliable gas placement options while still maintaining Caustic's ability to lock down areas, you'll just require a little bit more time to put down the standard barrel.
- @pastaclown Hold down Q? I dont have that button. 😜
@hayhor ah crap. Hold down...whatever button it is for whatever console you're on!
