Caustic and Wattson, are border line useless.

When are you all going to make Caustic and Wattson relevant at all now? none of their abilities matter. Wattsons fence was DEAD ON ARRIVAL. This is a game where 9 times out of 10 people rush you and you die in seconds, and the Two Legends you put into the game that are Purely defensive and anti brainless rushing, you nerf them into the ground and give one of them a useless ability.  Its already bad enough you can easily destroy the gas canisters and pylons with 1 shot from any weapon.

Change to wattson.

Her Q now EMITS a Electric Field when connected to another pylon the field travels to the other pylon and passively zaps anything that gets near the Pylon and if they cross the Field it damages them and Slows them .  Think of her pylons as something like this  R28f3d8398977e74f2842f83a0366a3d0 (700×450) (bing.com)  The Closer the Pylons are to each other the stronger the field of energy is.

Her Ultimate shouldn't heal enemy shields at all, and should actually damage anyone not on her team entering the radius of the pylon. Something like this long-exposure-tesla-coil.jpg (630×541) (techeblog.com)  The rate that it restores shields is virtually useless unless the enemy that's shooting you is far away and you have time to hide behind cover. That barely ever happens other than the first two rounds, and maybe into the third round.  

Change to Caustic. Undo all of the changes that happened to him in Season 8. Because right now there's no point in playing him. I have Octanes just running through the gas canisters, why does the gas just magically disappear if im defeated? No other Legends abilities that i know of disappear.   His Ultimate is just a wider thermite grenade. It doesn't do anything  and you can just walk out of it. Why even have that in the game.  His passive is useless because everyone can see through the gas.

    @EEAAITSINTHEDLC They don't listen, they dont understand, they can't comprehend players. And these forums keep Caustic up high, they don't keep Wattson up because I keep her up, everytime I mention legends.

    It's the Devs, Its Daniel, Its Respawns fault.
    You"ll be better of giving them a call.
    They stare at the pickrate/WinRate rather then the actual game. They hardly pay attention to the community

    I just found out why Wattson’s ‘’ win rate’’ is so high... she is barely ever used by casuals and is mainly used by a few pro players who are cracked at the game who like playing her and they are skewering the data making her look overpowerred when shes borderline useless as you said

    this is just one example who is the #1 wattson player on xbox and maybe even apex legends as a whole (picture is terrible sorry I took off of my tv)

    I have also seen other wattson’s with 1500+ wins in just season 8... the funny thing is I played with a wattson with 3k kills in arena earlier and she didn’t use wattson’s fences at all lol she would ping a building so I thought we were defending it but they would just run outside in the open and crouch spam and just abuse wattson’s hitbox because wattson’s actual kit is useless which is what I have been saying for seasons now...

    I thought you guys didn't realize Respawn has a deep hatred toward camping and sniper? Anything that preventing these ape-like player from W keying into everyone and everything is automatically bad in their view. When Horizon was released she was insanely overpowered with 7.8% winrate after only 6 months and so many people has complain about her but nope, "We want new comer to fully experience her playstyle" just proof how out of touch they are. They doesn't care about this forum anyway.

    @KissYourHomieUwU caustic can not just be used to camp, his traps are literally called "Gas TRAPS" they are meant to also be tactically placed to block doors or in areas where they arent seen first and where they can do some damage and slow enemies so you can possibly push with your squad and/or get an advantage in several situations.
    However with the gas being as useless as it now is there is no reason in even trying to play caustic.
    He's just not fun and completely useless atm if you compare it to the first split of season 8.

    @ChrysIsChrisisI tried Caustic and he honestly is terrible, hes basically now in the same boat as wattson nerfed into the ground to where he is in a ‘’good spot’’

    Caustic and Wattson both need to be more punishing because there is literally nothing risky about pushing through there defenses... on wattson its as simple as destroying some fences from the door and barely taking any shield damage if they push push and on caustic 5 health damage per tick is barely even a scratch... you can also see clearly and everything else... I still would put caustic at B tier because of fortified and because his traps can be hidden but its not a good or high b tier its more of a barely low b tier high c tier... defensive legends need to be high B or even A tier to be any good otherwise they are nothing but a fly in the room waiting to be swatted which is how they currently feel... caustics been that way for a few months while wattson on the other hand has felt that way for over a YEAR and a half

    meanwhile those idiot at Respawn HQ when they saw Horizon's winrate skyrocketed surpassing their poster child Wraith in less than 6 months: This is fine, new player need this so they can understand how to play her

    @KissYourHomieUwU I feel like Horizon was nerfed too hard, I didn’t use her too much but her gravity lift feels too slow and just needs to go up quicker but I wouldn’t mind if they didn’t allow her to stay at the top anymore like it should just instantly bounce you off as soon as you reach the top

    @TheApexLegendNub they kept all the debuffs they gave him when he was cancerous and now he is just awful. No low profile is another big nerf to him as well. He is a barn door with traps people run through and an ult that averages five to ten damage before the player dips and is a worse effect than throwin a grenade. GG respawn
