I'm not saying you're wrong but didn't caustic get a buff at the start of the season?
He can take more damage and all legends move at the same speed. You can test this by having a race in the firing range with a friend.
As an ex wraith main I can assure you she is not op. I had to abandon her completely after the nerf. That 1 secondary delay when she phases will get you killed every time. And all you need to do is follow the blue streak she leaves behind and start shooting at the end of it and it's game over, I have no problem killing wraiths. All things being equal she will lose a 1v1 against any legend with fortify.
Caustic is fine. He is a really good legend but he needs a good coordination with the team to be effective. And also who uses him has to be very smart in placing traps and ults, remembering that these are not just offensive and defensive abilities. Try to look and some Master/predators lobbies and you'll see that he's still very solidly in the meta.
As for Wraith, i don't really know what people wants from her anymore, she basically got nerfed everything she has lol.
P.S you do realize that they changed her running animation and she runs just like any other legend right? š
I am pretty sure they reverted her run animation to its normal form. But your point runs true regardless I do not think she is 100% broken and I think is currently in a good spot for a legend with such a good tool kit.

@Sand_spitterBuff? He hasnt had a buff for multiple seasons. The last buff was probably when they made it so teammates were not slowed in the gas.
He has had a series of nerds since tho including-
Longer tactical time. People seem to forget he used to have a shorter time.
His barrels are now super easy to shoot down before deploying.
His barrels can no longer be thrown thrown tight windows.
Wattsons ultimate stops his barrels.
Opponents are no longer blinded in his gas.
Caustic used to be a counter to a wattson team. Because of the 3 items above he isnt. He was also very good if used aggressively. Again, because of the those items this is no longer the case.
Wraith is still favored over every other character because she is tiny. Yes you no longer can just run straight in and then get away but she still is the toughest legend to hit. And the sweats still play her mainly because of that. Plus she can reposition herself and her team without taking damage.
Pick rate and comp meta says it all. The claim is caustics pick rate went up after the announced buff. Well duh respawn wasnt that the point? I'm betting that goes back down now.
I'm still playing caustic and having fun. He just has to be used a little different now and good players know exactly how to deal with him.
I dunno man, I have no problem hitting her or getting hit for that matter. Everyone seems to have god level aim these days anyway.
Fortify counts for a lot up close.
I'm not saying you guys are wrong, but wraith isn't nearly as good as she once was. In fact I'd still choose bloodhound / horizon over her. To me her tactical is basically useless now and the portal is useless outside the ring. And good luck to any wraith pushing a caustic in a building, saw one on my team go down like nothing the other day in the final ring.
I get that they buff / nerf to balance the game but I feel the changes made to her were unnecessary, same with pathfinder. People were having fun playing those characters the way they were. If everyone felt things were unbalanced why not just buff the other legends and leave the rest the way it was? I don't think it's good to have characters with obvious flaws to their abilities that gets you killed.
I see, I did not know that.
In any case I agree that there was no good reason on the devs' part to do that or anything else that makes him weaker for that matter.
