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 ...

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 They want everyone to use mid to long range weapons, its why they added the sentinal, 30-30, bow, etc

      @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
