[2020] Is castle secretly working for the attackers?

If me or a friend are playing fuze on attack and we see a castle on a window or doorway by the objective...we get excited. If you hear a fuze put a charge on a wooden barricade theres a chance you can kill him or at least destroy the charge. But when he fuzes a castle barricade it seems much harder to hear him, as well as it obviously being alot harder to kill the fuze on the other side.

It's as if castle is trying to make fuze's job easier.

At least atm you can lob an impact towards to barricade. But soon even that won't be an option, as the lowish pick and win rate for castle has forced the hands of the devs, who are planning on removing his impacts.

So now almost anyone can destroy his barricades, he will have no impacts to get rid of them quickly himself, and he is the best operator for supporting fuze....am I the only one thinking he actually needs a buff?

Have you considered that maybe there's a 'bigger picture' that you're missing out on? A bigger playing universe where pro league strategies don't work, and where Castle is not 'strong'? Again - look at his stats. The stats do not lie. Castle's pick rate and performance rates are low specifically because he is ineffective. He doesn't have enough panels, the panels he does have are too weak, and they present little to no hinderance to the attacking team. If they took away the 'bulletproof' panels and simply gave him six wooden barricades, nobody would be able to tell the difference in terms of efficacy.

And once the extended barrel is attached has a really good damage rating that works well down long hallways, and its got a good spread . plus a pump action shotgun.. I still dont get it. Its still probably my favorite gun. People want one gun for every op though. Acog, compensator for attacking. And holo, compensator on defense. Not very often I see people go outside this
