As a Caustic main with nearly 8000 kills... this.
I would not agree with the quadruple... remember Sparrows ultimate is only a few seconds... gas lasts much longer but double at least is not unreasonable given the ridiculous power difference between them.
His NOX vision should be really good as default, not a shield upgrade. He's supposed to already have that. It just cheapens what you are already supposed to have. I don't understand that choice.
The healing in the gas option should be at least on par with lifelines drone, it's way too slow to be useful.
Enemies vision blurred and slow is a must. The original poster isn't wrong, I have come across many squads that just don't care, they'll run through it and still beam you. It doesn't matter.
I hardly play him anymore; he is so weak compared to other legends now. Given the money and time I've spent on this guy I feel pretty let down.
It feels like the meta is just to walk into wherever and shoot shoot shoot. If anything impedes that it must be nerfed into the ground immediately (streamers, pros and other crybabies about Caustic's abilities in the past). If it makes you pause to think then is that a bad thing? If people don't care and charge into it anyway, does that suggest it's a bit underpowered?
Please fix this. This has been a huge issue for ages.
I've been playing sparrow. We had a squad we were dualing with at range (150m+). Did some damage to them, used my Sparrow ultimate and got 220 damage from that pushed and cleaned up. Caustic cant' throw his ultimate that far and it would do, what? 30-50 damage absolute best case? Ridiculous.
