for EA developers who only listen to pro streamers not regular players
When developers do not listen to regular players and their logic, I thought this might help them:
Here is a clip for you about what pro players think about Caustic nerf:

Albralelie:"I actually think this might ruin caustic; in all seriousness I'm pretty sure this has actually make caustic no longer a character"
We have similar reaction from many others, just check youtube.
Caustic passive: everyone can now see in the gas, his ability to see enemies in gas is like Horizon's ability to see enemies in her ultimate.
Caustic tactical: it can be cancelled much easier, can't push building with traps (new rotation won't let it enter windows), lower damage makes everyone push in the gas without fear
Caustic ultimate: 1 minute added to the cool down, gas damage won't raise by time, base gas damage reduced to 5 damage per tick, for an enemy to die, they need to stand still in the gas for 20 seconds (almost from begining to end of the ultimate)
well done "balancing"
@Alphabets I was hearing similar sentiment from other top tier players in game last night. I really don't understand the Caustic nerf. Does it suck getting stuck in has gas? Yes, is he OP if you're caught in his gas? Yes.. Is he OP as a legend? No.. The gas is easy to avoid, hard to set up, risky and risky to use.
Throwing that gas canister is a huge gamble. Throwing traps mid fight is a death sentence unless you're in a building or have cover. Even then the enemies have to basically be on top of the traps for them to go off.
If you remove the gas from the equation caustic is just one big easy to hit target.
Just playing as Bangalore my KD is up more than .30, for me that's a 37% increase in my KD..
@pastaclown I think it depends on the player as to what is more impactful. If you have a hard time tracking targets, then the slow effect would have a larger impact. If you're really good at tracking then blinding would be more desirable.
When I die to caustics, it's typically a combination of things.. I have died because I could not get out of the gas.. Finish off the enemy down to 30 health and in the gas and go down because I could not get out of the gas fast enough. If I die in caustics gas I view it as my fault. But I rarely die just because of the gas. If they wanted to nerf his gas, I think it would be reasoable for the gas to completely disappear when the Caustics team is eliminated. So when you do kill all 3 enemies you don't die to lingering gas.
He's not OP like Gibi.. Multiple times a night I'll do 190 damage to gibi plus break his arm shield and still die. There have been fights in which I've broken the arm shield 3-4 times and done 170-180 damage to the gibi and I still lose the fight... If you count the arm shield alone I've done 150-200 damage to get rid of that thing 4 times. How is that not OP?!
I don't want to see Gibi over nerfed. I'd like very minimal changes so that I'm not having to do 300-400+ damage to one just to knock him.
