I've been reading about the latest update and one article says that players have been calling for another nerf to caustic since the beginning of season 8??? WHAT?? What would they nerf next??? What's left to nerf?? Take his gas away completely?? Make him bigger?? Make him slower or not be able to move at all?? Who are these pathetic players??
I for one am still pi**ed that he got nerfed last time. If anything they should at least buff the damage on his ultimate!
I'm Caustic main, played him from season 0 and I can assure that he is weaker than ever now. It was dubious idea to take away blurre effect and buff damage of the gas, which I was totally against to, because its makes more accent on the damage instead of your positioning and aim, but okay and after they just took away damage too, really!? Its like took away from Gibby his shield immune and make it 300 hp durable or make Wraiths "q" work only in rooms. its just stupid...
@hayhorI really think you don't get why the Caustic nerf sucks.
Initially on Reddit some Devs (notably DZK) claimed this rework was about the fact that Caustics winrate is high but only ingames going over 20 minutes.
Then the nerf comes and is revealed to be an across the board nerf in all game states despite being only OP in one of them and DOES NOT do anything about the fact that his gas is unavoidable in the endgame.
Does that sound reasonable to you? If yes then you're the only one cause even DZK suddenly went from talking about his gas to being OP in the endgame to handwaving all criticisms pointing at the pickrate, which means that he either just lied about the intends regarding the rework or Respawn consciously disregarded every nuance, threw a lazy nerf-nuke when they knew they could do better and called it a day in his own event.
@hayhorOr rework him at this point, i've seen so many good and out of the box suggestions by a lot of different types of players and they went with reducing the damage that was increased as a compensation for a massive nerf in the first place.
Little thought or consideration has been given and thats the point that sucks.
If they said that it was a temporary change till a better solution has been found then it would have been atleast understood. But they went for a nerf that completely misses the point, and DZK goes on Reddit for statements that can be summed up in a TL;DR as "We know we didn't do it properly and we have no intends of changing/fixing anything and don't care about your feedback lmao get ******".
Really inspires trust and hope in Respawn does it?
