Coustic is trash now, great.
Completely unfair, completely unnecessary, and out of touch decision with the game. Caustics win and pick rate were at 5%, there was no need to change him. With 20 legends, everyone’s win / pick rate should be around 5%. How does it make sense to nerf any character in or below that threshold?
I think it's fair, but the timing of nerfing one of the only viable defensive legends while launching a character that's basically the ultimate counter to them all is strange. I'd love to see buffs to Wattson/Rampart/Caustic, as the first two already needed it, but now with Maggie, even moreso.
Man, it's like Respawn barely compensates Caustic's nerf…
Okay I guess the nerf wasn’t as bad as I thought lol
tbh i really hate this change and it is definitelly not necessary, and its really shocking to see,that you can destroy 2 barells with just one gold mag on flatline, they schould make the barell about 220hp
They should've at least gave him something while doing this nerf fuck sake, at least some more gas range on his ult, right now only idiots stay long enough in the gas to take some reasonable damage and most legends can get our of range in seconds.
kinda fair for other defensive trapper legends, he still has those annoying slowing-damaging-visual-cluttering gas for a moment after the barrel get destroyed. What I need to asks is, how about when it already pop-up and getting hit by Crypto's EMP ? As u already know currently, u can just pop the barrel so EMP wont destroy the barrel, how bout next patch ?
how can it be positive?
A good change honestly. We'll see who will be real Caustic mains out there, probably the ones who actually uses their guns in a fight. I literally main an off-meta legend and I'm finer with her actually (Lifeline). So, Inb4 aggressive replies from campers who, anyways, ruin this game and whose ideas is to reduce the skill gap. Fun lies in improvement, not crutching stuff that plays for you.
Respects, and my thoughts to all the actually cracked Caustic mains out there suffering of these kids.
I think caustic got nerfed because they’re planning on eventually making control a permanent mode and he would be way to op
Fuse can be a counter to Caustic, throwing his Cluster in with his gas traps would do a lot of damage.
I'm all for it. I just wish they would let damage be dealt from the initial bullet hitting the barrel. But at least they can finally go away now.
That's not bad at all. Don't think anyone will choose to unload their mag on the barrel rather than a enemy
Caustic mains are bummed, but for the rest of us, it makes breaching a set up caustic way more feasible, esp w a Maggie on the team!
as a caustic main, i'd say it's pretty fair. At first i thought that the nerf was "you can shoot out the bottom when the trap is active" and that would have made him unplayable. Although imo it takes him below balanced, maybe he won't get another rework in 2 seasons this time.
It's still bad enough Caustic is unplayable now. Especially with Maggie.
As a caustic main, I think the biggest nerf is that teammates can hurt the barrels. If an enemy tries to break my barrel they'll need 150 damage or almost their whole clip. Thats a free kill for me.
They killed caustic and mad Maggy op
Nerf mad Maggy lol
I just want color coded gas. Please
Ya lemme just waste my whole clip mid fight on a caustic barrel. I don’t and will never understand balancing in this game. Comparatively caustic is just way better than any other trap legend and it’s not even close. You tap a wattson fence and it gets deleted vs unloading a whole clip into a barrel. Ramparts traps don’t even stop pushes. Wattson traps ar ez af to destroy and only cover a linear area vs caustic traps which cover a whole area. With caustic you can’t peak doors and windows vs wattson or rampart you have full accessibility. How ez his gass is to get hit by. You can’t really tell where it ends or stars sometimes. Caustic traps can be positioned in way where you have to set them off vs wattson or ramp where no matter where you put it they can easily be destroyed.
Not really a nerf…..i think it doesn't affect caustic mains at all if anything it's a positive thing.
Respawn: What should we do? Nerf the rampage? Nah. Nerf valk who is taking over algs? Nah. Nerf gibby who is taking over algs? Nah. Let's nerf a totally balanced, unpopular generic legend into the ground!
As a caustic main with 26k kills, I think this change is a poorly thought out disaster. Caustic was completely fine and not in line for a nerf (gibby or valk should have been nerfed instead). And this change will ruin caustic. Let's remember who is already a hard counter to caustic: maggie, crypto, Watson (to an extent), caustic, fuse, bloodhound and valk. Now 2 of his active traps can be destroyed in like 3 seconds by a single flatline magazine. It takes him like 25 seconds to get a trap back. Considering this is a team game, imagine 3 players unloading on your traps, they will all be gone. Then they get hit by crossfire, grenade spam, legend abilities, teammates! His traps wont last a fight. Let's keep in mind caustic gas is trash anyway. Slightly slows you and does 5 damage to you. You can shoot a trap anywhere when being deployed, it is gone. Shoot it in the base when deployed, it is gone. Now shoot it a few times when active and it is gone. Tell me, how many times do I shoot a valk or wraith to deactivate their jetpack or her phase? Oh wait, only defensive legends can be countered. And the last thing I must adress: why do people think that we need legend abilities that straight up counter defensive legends (e.g. EMP, knuckle cluster, maggie drill, scans, interception pylon, arc snare, silence etc.). I dont see other legends get hard countered like wraith, valk, lifeline, path etc. Just because the community is trash and cant kill defensive legends doesn't mean the solution is to nerf them to the ground. The solution is to get good. That simple.
I kinda agree with the nerf (even i main caustic) but i thinl 150 HP is too low where you can't actually trap some one.
This might be useful to frustrate ur enemies and they have to shoot you or the barrel but still 150 hp is like one mage of any weapon
I think the traps should have much higher HP considering they dont do much damage
The nerf isn't as bad as I thought. The only thing which I see as a BIG issue is that teammates can damage the traps too. If you have bad/uncoordinated teammates they can fuck your whole team up…
this actually makes him more weak in the open and thats why they keep buffing in him in the first place.. because he cant do much besides camping buildings so they keep buffing him
and now they take the most important thing that they buffed him for… these devs are so weird ngl… feels so stupid.. buff then nerf… then buff then nerf and on and on wtf get ur shit straight guys lol
but the one thing we still want to know is if they shoot the bottom of the barrel when its activated, does it still have hp?
I never understood the controversy. This was how I saw the nerf was always gonna be.
Caustic is officially dead. I don’t want to see one on my team ever again
it's not fair meanwhile you have many legends who need big or small buffs
I mean ppl saying it’s not that bad but it is a nerf regardless a big one
Imo gibby should’ve been the one to be nerfed I don’t see anything wrong with caustic never had a problem fighting one just sad that he got nerfed.
Caustic is the Greninja of apex
How do you feel about caustic Nerf? Is it fair?
thats good change, should buff the CD to balance it back.
As a caustic main with some thousands kills with him I can say that this nerf is not fair BECAUSE I think 150hp is not viable caustic gas trap need like 230hp or 250hp it will make him a good defensive legend to lockdown a place but it will not allow a caustic to use his traps as cover or if it stay at 150hp caustic gas need to do more damage because of the fact that gas traps are weak so an opponent will not stay in gas for long before he shoot the trap
i think the only reason i use caustic is gone
This not a nerf tbh when u in a fight u not going to stop to shoot them barrells
It is Interesting…. The time will tell
YESSSSS.
Smh well if they nerf that they have to give him something do more damage in the gas
might as well delete the caustic character at this point whats the point if they gonna nerf him every season
I use to play Caustic quite often at one stage. Just as the defensive option in the team wen a push goes wrong. Haven't used that strat in 3 season.
I understand he isn't fun to counter, but honestly I find very few Caustic's that scare me as traditional they play quite passive and in my opinion that's not how he should be plaid. A few well placed grenades generally set off most of the traps, wait for them to finish batting and send in a second barrage of grenades and the team is done for. Teams running Caustic tend to over rely on his defense and that gets them killed.
So for me the nerf was unjustified especially with Gibby(I know he received a indirect nerf,but that only works if your squad runs Maggie) and Valk running riot.
