Caustic will be nerf ? For real ?

★ Apprentice

Maybe it's a translation mistake, but here what i can find on a french website dedicated to videogame (http://www.jeuxvideo.com/) :

Caustic

  • Piège à gaz toxique - Réduction du cooldown de 30 à 25 secondes.
  • Piège à gaz toxique - Augmentation du rayon et du rayon de proximité de 10 %.
  • Piège à gaz toxique - Réduction de 1 seconde de la durée des dégâts causés aux joueurs par le gaz.

Which means in english :

- Cooldown from 30 to 25 sec

- Gaz range +10%

- Dmg to player nerf -1 sec

 

So basically they improve points that have never been a problem and nerf the biggest weak point of this gas?

 

You can stack gaz can and are suppose to use it inside, so cooldown and range couldn't seroisouy be considered as needing an upgrade, but it doesn't deal enough dmg to discourage any player to stay in it (not even talking to go through, but litterally to take bath in it).

 

Sounds awesome !

"Traps - Removed a 1 second delay on the smoke dealing damage to players". That's a buff, not a nerf.

I think you want the NOX gas to do a lot of damage per tick of the damage over time effect? The fact that the cooldown is reduced and the area of effect increased, does mean that more enemies will be affected more often than before. Whether there is also going to be an increase to damage not mentioned in what has been revealed so far remains to be seen. It could still happen.

they are all buffs

 

sadly it wont be enough to make him good. If you could see outside of the gas clouds, the character would be fine as is.

The single worst thing about Caustic is that his Nox Gas impairs the vision of his own team.
Stupidest thing ever.

agreed with  #5,   NOX gas ability should NOT affect the team member.   But  anyhow , Bangalore , Gibraltar ability also Affect the team member.  

 

i think DEVELOPER should consider this too , team member should NOT affect team member abilities.
