Why make caustic so weak now and Wraith still having the advantage?

Why only listen to streamers and pro players, but the largest amount of people that play are people like me, Caustic needs a buff, he is really slow after the last nerf and useless out of a building,...

@Zencho_369 There are a ton ofplayers on the forum who want to see Caustics traps buffed. I don't think he needs much..

I think all he really needs is either more traps or the traps need to be harder to shoot down and possible a longer duration on the gas emission.

Wraith is a challenging legend to nerf. Let's face it, she has some of the best abilities in game. Her passive is one of the best, her tactical is great, her portals are huge for teams in certain situations. How ever, she is extremely weak against players who can hit her. If you take a Caustic vs a Wraith, the Wraith misses no shots and the Caustic misses no shots, the Caustic will win every single time. So increased hit box might help level the playing field, but they might have to make some adjustments to the damage she takes.

I would prefer to see her hit box increased slightly and possibly a revert on the arms/legs taking body damage numbers. I think that would be a fair trade.

@DarthValtrex yeah a trade like that could work but to call for more nerfs to her is just unfair. People say it's easy to play as a Wraith but it's really not especially when you have to fight because as you said if the enemy is good there's not really much you can do unless you're a God tier player.

  @Cro_Pittt I quit playing her because in the high skill lobbies you bump into people who do not miss, even on her.
  
  Larger hit box plus adjustments to the damage she takes is the way to nerf/buff her and keep her as a competitive legend.
  
  She stands no chance against any legend who can land shots against her. She takes more damage and will go down faster.
  
  I'll play her in pubs and yeah in some fights my armor almost never gets broken because the enemy has such a hard time landing shots. But when they do land shots it's not even a contest.
  
  I don't think they'll be able to balance out the pick rate unless they nerf into something that's unplayable. If they go that route they are going to make a ton of people abandon the game. Lots of people have spent a ton of money on cosmetics for her. They will not be happy if they can't use those cosmetics anymore because she's been nerfed to much.
