Caustic's State with Players

I suppose this could fit into Legends Feedback aswell, but it feels like this topic is more focused on players attitudes towards Caustic as a playable character. 

It feels like Caustic's Nox gas is fairly weak. I actually have spotted traps and deliberately swam and waded in the gas (while eliminating the nearby trapper) JUST to see how much of a disadvantage it would put me at.

What I found, was very little damage, and little to no impairment. I could see through the gas quite easily too. [Does Caustic deserve a new passive?] It feels as though Caustic is meant to be more of a "mindgame" type Legend- similar to Mirage. What, with his traps not inhibiting enemies or even deterring enemies from disabling traps; It feels like something needs to change.

But is this what the bulk of players really want? Each Legend has unique abilities that can impact the playing field greatly -depending on it's use. But Caustic doesn't seem to impact much at the moment. Does Nox need damage? Or impairment- such as vision blur? 

I'm in favor of impairment. But we need something to be done, no?

  • At this point all the gas does is slow you really.  It's a real shame because he was my main character, now I only play him if I feel I am playing well enough to get by with no advantages at all.
