Originally posted by Infamous: Castle is a operator who should get a rework someday. His gadget, currently, can be good in certain situations, but most of the time it feels like it is an obstacle to teammates who either want to roam or keep an eye in a hallway. Because of this, teammates will usually destroy the barricade, which will require for Castle to set it back up.
So, what if Castle's gadget was more of a door instead of a barricade? A door that only Defenders can open and close. A roamer can open the door then shut it, leaving the barricade intact so Castle doesn't have to waste his time rebuilding it. A teammate who wants to just defend can leave a door open to watch a hallway but then shut it if they want to focus their attention to the other side of the room while keeping that previous area secured. This way, it will make Castle more like a Castle, providing a safe environment for his fellow teammates while allowing them to leave. However, to provide some downside to him, he could also only have 2 Doors instead of 3 and when a Defender is opening and shutting a door, it takes a little bit of time to do so. But, that is just a idea, I'm not sure if it's good or not but I think it would definitely make him more viable.

I actually quite like this idea! I was a Castle main on console years and years back, and you perfectly described the issue I encountered a lot of the time whenever I'd set up barricades or leave doors open to accommodate my roaming teammates.

Would you also change how much damage attackers need to do to the barricade to destroy it? If so, what's your idea?
