Before they make decisions about what gas traps do and do not affect, they need to buff Caustic.
The fact that his gas blinds and slows his allies is absurd, in an environment where even anti-social assassins have ultimates that greatly benefit the team.
His ultimate is clunky, slow to prime + throw + detonate, and to add insult still starts at a mere 4 damage per tic as his normal gas traps do.
He does far too little damage with gas. His traps are usually easy to avoid or destroy. EMP destroys them. Wraith detects them. Pathfinder can grapple out of his ult and any other gas.
There are niche situations were Caustic is very powerful and annoying, and unfortunately people who do not often play Caustic will judge him based on his best moments, instead of the sea of mediocrity and struggle that encapsulates his game-to-game play. His struggle is real. Meanwhile, characters like Pathfinder or Wraith have entire games of fun and effectiveness, but when you interrupt that with a rare, prime Caustic play, they highlight that moment and say "he's fine" or "I hate that character."
And no one wants to admit that a character whom they hate, or destroyed them last game, needs a buff. Let that is exactly what Caustic needs in order for Apex to be a balanced game.
(And Mirage, and Revenant, and maybe Octane.)@1ronKeys I agree. It's bad enough his traps blind and slow movement. But to also damage other items is a bit much. Especially if he happens to be on your team. Why does my allies gas destroy my traps?
Hopefully this issue will see a fix. It would also be nice for them to buff Wattsons fence nodes as well. Maybe an extra shot or so. As it stands the nodes can be taken out way too easily.
Maybe they'll fix pathys silencer feet while they're at it. >.>
@MandatoryIDtag Don't go thinking that I expect any chance to come of this. It's only a daydream for happy thoughts to blur out the disappointing ones.
- @MandatoryIDtag Why would they do that when his skins are like toilet paper in the west these days because of how broken he is lol
True, i've noticed the hit reg issues creeping back slowly too, and audio in general is in the worst place its been for a while to be honest.
Bugs like the sentinel healing still hasn't been fixed.
I think the lists become so long they just can't keep up with the workload to be honest lol.
- DarthValtrex5 years agoHero (Retired)@MandatoryIDtag Pathfinder is the most difficult legend for me to hit. I have to spray pray left to right on him quite a bit and he's the only legend I have to do that to.
@DarthValtrex I hit him fine, the problem is the fact he's got such high mobility combined with an utter lack of audio cues from both his grapple and movement. Losing track of him for a split second is a loss....then throw in the fact most squads have a pathfinder on them it just makes for a highly stressful play experience.
The one saving grace half the players using him are only doing so because of the audio advantage....and are terrible with him.
I honestly think he should be locked until they fix him. Yes all the pathy mains will whine but they've got a game changing advantage due to a bug that respawn are too negligent to fix, and it's downright irritating frankly.
- @Jinnobi Caustics ultimate ult: throw barrel in area with enemy caustics barrels! You'll kill at least 2 people who stepped there by simple confusion!
