Needed Wattson Buff
The main problem with wattson is that she is limited to only having four fences and along with that the cool down time is pretty long just to get them back considering she is defenseless without her ...
Forum Discussion
Alright so what I got so far from the comments is:
Wattson should carry her pylon and not reduce her speed. The thing is, she already carries the pylon on her back even when its not active so there's no reason to reduce her speed, shes already in a disadvantage when she doesnt have her fences.
In order to keep the shockwave ability balanced, its either two options:
1. Make it so when she has all five fences available to use. she can trade it in for a shockwave blast. that can stun all enemies around her for 3 seconds giving her time to escape or reset the fight, so that way there shouldnt be any buffs to her fence time recharge or shield recharge. But giving her a fifth fence would help out alot.
2. Or the other option too is that she doesnt have to trade in her fences but when she uses her shockwave blast her pylon instantly deactivates and forces you to wait for the ultimate to recharge instead. She can still use her pylon for shield regen while its active and on her back, but as soon as you activate the shockwave blast the pylon deactivates making you wait for the ultimate to recharge again.
This shockwave effect can work while the pylon is active on her back or placed down too and that can work as a trap, but in the expense of using up all of her fences for that. Or if not that, then the other option is that her pylon gets distroyed instead.
Her passive should be that when shes outside of the ring she is given about a few seconds grace period where the ring does not do damage to her.
I know theres an argument where she should'nt have the shockwave blast. But you have to remember that maggie can literally disable you mid fight with her recking ball upon impact, making you an easy kill. Let me know if this sounds good or not.
@CarpenterPack08 A couple issues.
Shockwave: Not a shockwave, but a cone.
Arc Cone: 75 damage, 0.5 second stun like arc stars, disables vehicles (Trident) for 3 seconds.
3 second stun is free multi kill and too powerful.
Using the Ult to cast shockwave is too much.
There are only 4 fence charges and it takes about 15 seconds to charge, therefore once every 60 seconds you can cast the Arc Cone. That's not too OP.
Alternatively, mobile Pylon. Arc Blast and Mobile Pylon could be upgrade options, and you only get one or the other.
Because, if you get both, then you'd be OP, chasing people while casting Arc Blast every few seconds.
Now, here's a balancing idea for arc blast, it have a charge time before it blasts, then people would have an escape chance or chance to run around a corner.
Now, Pylon+Blast would still be OP, but you'd be limited to the radius of the Pylon, probably within line of sight to it, to recieve its swift charge boost. Small area. Coupled with cast time makes it more balanced.
Both effects would be nice though.
