@Renegade_Prime86 Caustic has a bad rep because his gas used to slow teammates, which was wrong. They finally fixed that.

All characters, when used by bad players get bad reputations. I cringe every time someone picks octane now.

You are right though, being able to play difference characters is fun. I actually switched to caustic back in season 4 because he made the game fun for me when my teammates proved useless, which was a lot. I'm still having fun with him, I just want the rotating barrel thing switched back.

@Renegade_Prime86  I get where you're coming from. Speaking from personal experience though, I don't main any legend...my stats are right spread right across the board.

 

It isn't a game breaker for me when a legend gets heavily nerfed, however caustic was a legend that required some degree of intelligence to use pre nerf and it made him fun to play as you knew if you messed up you were dead. With this recent set of changes to him though your margin for success drops even more drastically which is kind of annoying.

I agree with op. The nerf should be reduced. It's really makes caustic even more useless/situational to allow his traps to be disarmed before even being armed. In my opinion he is the most niche legend there is. He has a very small tiny specific role to play and thats it. Outside of that it's super difficult to excel with him.

It's funny, 2 years have passed and the situation has only worsened. It is immediately clear that developers do not read such forums at all or simply ignore them. Due to recent events, we are waiting for the next patch : "Due to the events in the world, we decided to remove Caustic from the game, because he is Russian"

Idea: Keep the ability to blow up a cannister, but when it is destroyed it blows up and all the gas covers that spot for all at once but lingers around for less than  a full cannisters gas release.

@DankToliet How about we just go back to the days when his cannisters were small when thrown so you can throw them through windows? Actually this plus the new maps not having good buildings plus the removal of lots of them on KC has been his biggest nerf.

@hayhor Love the idea. Keep the ability to destroy his cannisters so rushers won't complain about having to slow down against him. Give back his ability to toss through windows so he can be a more effective breacher Legend again. Maybe shorten the cooldown on his tactical to account for how easy they are to destroy.
