Gas nerf needed
Gas deals way too much damage in the current meta. Too often it is used as a full defensive attack rather than a deterrent. It effectively creates another player on the team when placed on the cashout. Unless your team is running pyros or winch to pull the cashout out from the gas, it will full kill a light or medium before they can steal. Ridiculous. It has made me want to delete the game. The new healing bomb could help with this but the heal rate is minimal at best and does not even come close to even matching the damage rate of gas. Gas should be effective, but not to the extent it currently is.
Other options would be to have a buff gadget you have to activate like a gas mask or blast shield(for fire) that would nullify the effect of environmental damage it's supposed to counter for a few seconds (no more than 10s) and should also have a medium to long recharge timer.
