Caustic's Upgrades Need a Change
Caustic's original upgrades were better but decentralized. What I mean is, you could choose for blue either +75% throw range or +50% ult size and for purple either nox vision or heal in gas, such that you couldn't max out on range or utility. Now, you can choose for blue either +75% range or nox vision and for purple +50% ultimate or heal in gas. The new upgrades are really problematic for me (average caustic main). The purple upgrades both suck; the heal is too slow and the size increase doesn't do much when already in a building. Instead, the two good upgrades, +75% (huge because caustic trap placement sucks at normal range) and nox vision, are both in the blue upgrade. This needs some sort of change: either swap nox vision in purple with heal in gas (heal in gas is only useful in early game!) to make purple more balanced than blue, or buff heal in gas or ultimate size. It might also just make sense to replace heal in gas with a cooldown reduction, or maybe a gibby bubble kinda upgrade like smaller and weaker traps for more trap placement options (ie place 8 traps instead of 6 or get less cooldown time). Anyhow, I just always feel like caustic's upgrades don't make much sense.

TL;DR I would like to choose both +75% throw range and nox vision at the same time, or at least get better purple upgrades.
