@BigBlackCausticBut the name does matter quite alot, he was meant to lock down buildings and not open ares, and thats how he was meant to be played... that he was capable of using it that effective offensively was to much and thats why they are nerfing it more and more...throwing a trap into someones face just makes 0 sense
For me personally that character is the pure definitition of disruptive gameplay.i dont want him against me but i also dont want him in my team and i can imagine that many not causticplayers feel the same way...his gas was is and allways will be extremly annoying even when he is in your team
@matzesingtSo are characters that disable your abilities, have free get out of jail cards or cockblocks you with a shield/dome. Just because something is annoying doesn't mean its imbalanced or doesn't serve its purpose.
Lets think like this: What are you going to do against a Wattson fortress you have to fight because of the ring when the pylon blocks all grenades, and the (easily replacable) fences are outside of LoS and leaves you tasered and open to get shot when trying to destroy them? You can't peak effectively cause Gibby covers that with his shield that gives him an health advantage.
Caustic was the only solution other than Crypto, use a trap to make an entry, prevent Wattson from replacing them and make Gibby move so he can't ADS with his shield up.
But now its much less counterable, and while Crypto counters Wattson he can't stop Gibby from using his shield and bubble or Wattson placing another pylon and fence. Not to mention whatever the third brings along.
