@VdstrkYep, instead of making the cluster charge stronger, they promote spam.
Someone tell DZK that the problem lies in cluster charges being barely worth using to begin with.
"Caustic is unbalancable".
Because they want him to be unbalancable, otherwise they would have addressed his deeper issues, or they are just dumb.
Its very simple in fact, here is a 3 step guide how to make him balanced:
1. Remove auto- and bullet triggers.
2. Give him a remote detonator with a cooldown.
3. Undo most nerfs and bring back the blind, adjust gas as necessary.
Now Caustic is completely able to be balanced as there is now an inherent counter, people can bait a gas trap detonation and approach from different angles. Caustic must predict for enemies to over commit to catch them with very lethal gas.
Isn't gonna happen though as the Devs act like the community does, everything that denies a W+M1 needs to get removed.
