Meet Catalyst TrailerOriginal Post:Dexerto accidentally released some early patch notes. The link is now been removed. Of course people already too some screen shots.The ult blocking scan abilities must have been a last minute change. Because just a season ago, they said this.

While I like Catalyst, I’m pretty sure Horizon and Octane will make up 70% of the lobbies still. Respawn needs to lower these legends’ pickrates since I’m getting sick fighting the same 5-6 legends.

@dSKyNafinchin You did see them, and Catalyst's ult was originally Scryer's. Was never convinced devs could make the old kit appealing to most players.

@Cheese9Man Caustic definitely needs a buff, or catalyst will absolutely take over, she’s got better abilities, and is actually regularly sized!

@dSKyNafinchin OK that's not OP then. Caustic can block every single door in some places.What could be worse is her wall gatekeepers people running through chokes or at end game with the storm closing.

@Cheese9Man I fully agree. It should not take a legend to counter seer. And honestly I wouldn't use her to counter him anyway. The wall is only so big and it will be obvious you need to be careful when it is there.

@Cheese9Man So, is Crypto finally going to be the Meme That Was Promised and become Off The Grid?

@Cheese9Man
the kit looks solid just like the wall.
Love the anti scan and it is not really a hard counter. Crypto drone flies above or around it NP, Seer Ult would still work the passive not so much, BH passive will work right up to the wall and well the time info will still help his tac is hurt and so is the ult, Valk ult should be fine as well considering your above the wall.

@Cheese9Man So she's a passive legend, i can see her being used in competitive and maybe in ranked, for casual play not so much lol.

IDK about her being passive.
You can push a team in a choke point and use that wall to block out the TP for a bit.
That wall can also be used to cut off the team you are engaging's quick escape also.
It would also allow your team more time for a reset and or quick escape.
That wall is going to be used a lot I think and will be great for cutting off angles etc.

@Cheese9Man I'm glad they confirmed that! The wall blocking Seer ult was the first thing that caught my eye in the trailer, just because of the tweet that you shared, Lol.

I'm hoping Path's grapple is one of the movement abilities that can circumvent the wall, using it as a grapple point. Not sure if the grapple will stick to it though. Only time will tell

I feel like I remember seeing leaked abilities that had the ult as some pillar that rose up beneath you, and a little ramp you could pup up? I could be mixing it up with something else, but I definitely like this kit better.

I'm wondering what the timer on the wall is going to be..

The ability to make ground harder to pass thru and lock doors makes me think she's going to fall into the Defense Category, but will also be the ~~first~~ second one where the defense ability can also do damage. After Caustic. But her's will actually lock areas down more than his, I think.

@Kyldenar I also think Caustic's future tag team buddy is a defense legend.

@jaygates879Caustic will not play well with this legend, two trapper abilities, and an ult that can split up caustics ult, and prevent him from throwing it. Also he probably can’t see enemies in his gas through it. I don’t see these legends playing well together.
