Legend Spotlight - Caustic

My input as a caustic main:

- Please reduce the gas effect on teammate.

- The gas trap sometimes has this bug where it won't trigger when enemy standing beside it.

- You can use the gas trap to block bullet by just holding it in your hand (not deployed), but you can still be shot (on shoulder, head, and legs), not sure if this is intentional.

- Please fix the fortified bug

@Roadmayso a lot of your are saying you need the gas traps more powerful? so I guess you wont be needing any guns????, I MEAN REALLY

Did I say that ??? When and where ?

I mean the team always don't play the way Caustic want , the hit chance of Caustic and Gibraltar is higher than the others in open ground , also gas trap will become an offensive weapon by then .

I was in a match yesterday when there were two squads remaining and my squad were camping in a house. But our Caustic blocked the doors with gas traps and I couldn't get in. I smashed the doors in but couldn't get past the traps. He stacked up more traps so it was even harder to get in. I got really frustrated because I felt vulnerable being outside not knowing where the enemies were. But then the an enemy started sniping my teammates with a Kraber from high up on the other side of the river. I ran over to the enmy and climbed to his position where I let him have it with my fully loaded lawn mower. Moral of the story? Don't block yourself in. 😛

When there're other caustic, I think we need able to differentiate which one:

1. our team mate trap and which one is enemy trap. 

2. our team mate gas and which one is enemy gas.

Most importantly, caustic gas should not get effect team mate (no slowdown), just like your grenade/ultimate doesn't effect team mate.

This please yes.

- The gas as it is does way to much damage, In my opinion the gas should do no damage or minimal damage.

- Since this is a team game and all the gas messes up as much for the team as much as for enemy's its not nice to have a caustic in your team.

You can't compare this with Bangalore smoke or something because that skill is easier to place and control.

Remove the gas slow effect on teammates and give the teammates a little more sight in the gas then enemy's.

This way the caustic and the team get a advantage in the gas, But still have to shoot the targets.

While your at it maybe even let teammates heal in the gas or something or take less damage in the gas ( Be original ).

maybe even in a liniair time line remove sight from enemy's that stand in the gas for to long or get to close to the center of the gas or something.

I think this way you will make the gas traps worse for players who mindlessly drop/use it to deal extra damage and a lot stronger for people that effectively use it.

I believe this way you invite more and better team play and deeper skilled play.

And less mindless dealing damage with ult and traps and good placement will get rewarded.

Also good teammates will be able make effective use of the gas this way.

Also i understand above described is rather overpowered, So remove the fortified witch was a joke in the first place.

And let the usefulness of his skills be a reward for playing a legend with a larger hit box.

Trap and Gas color could  represent how many kills the caustic, to represent how dangerous he's:

       - Green: 0-50 kills.

       - Yellow: 50-100 kills

       - Orange : 100-200 kills

       - Red : >200 kills.

So if you see Red toxic gas, you better watch out, since there's very dangerous Caustic around !!!!

How teammate differentiate gas/trap?

1. When introduce caustic, show his gas color during introduction (smoky background color).

2. During battle, His teammate can see team mate gas and gas trap on the map, so team mate knows where they're being deployed.

    so if you see a gas/trap in front of you but it's not on the map, you know it's enemy gas/trap.

I think the 10% was sufficient. Not sure if it would be op if teammates could move and see a little easier in his poison, but that might make him more viable for team-play.

10% isn't even a single extra bullet from the weakest gun the game, might as well be 0% at that point.

R99 12 damage per bullit

R99 11 damage per bullit on person with forti

person with white armor 150 hp. ( we use white armor because everybody has this at least this will get worse for your assumption if we use purple armor )

R99 150/12 = 12,5  shots required ( 13 shots required for kill )

R99 forti 150/11 = 13,6  shots required ( 14 shots required for kill )

Even without armor.

The difference is 1 bullet

So it requires 1 extra bullet.

Its still not good. but it can save your life.

Purple armor

200/12= 16,66  ( 17 shots required )

forti 200/11=18.1 ( 19 shots required )

Now its 2 bullets extra.

Still not good enough if you ask me.

But you should get your facts straight and not quote nonsense other people make up.
