Re: Wattson in a good place ?!

@Ironflower196 we will move past the stats then as we can't agree.

And also you'll see by the quote of the dev I posted, that she drops of at even the highest level of play, so where does she fit in then?

If you agree caustic is more useful and fun why are you so opposed to some wattson changes ? I don't understand. Maybe you just don't want a legend that similar, that's up to his level or surpasses him?
Where did you get the stats her pick rate goes up in LTMs? Could you share a link I've never read that. Either way,
Not sure how you can justify the fact her pick rate goes up on LTMs makes her in a good spot, winter express was more caustic express, it was plastered with gas cans every time you landed and yes there was a few wattsons, but your forgetting also you had a premade loadout so every character pick rate will of jumped up if they had a popular loadout on that day, can't justify keepeing her the same when there's multiple factors to it. And how often do LTMs happen?

Her fences where useless in that game mode, people spawned with multiple grenades, Her fences just got melted.

If you've used all your fences it takes her a minute to build one fence again, shave 1 or 2 seconds? 58 second wait still ? Great improvement 😂

    @JimmyLad993The only time wattson was great during the winter express was when she had a decent loadout I did good with her when I either had the flatline loadout or the eva 8/g7scout loadout and I think about the spitfire one too but that was mainly because of their optics

    her pylon was good for blocking grenade spam but her fences were useless people would always destroy her fences 

    Caustic on the other hand dominated the event, the only problem I had using caustic was trying to place down gas canisters while the train was still in motion so they wouldn’t go where I wanted them without trying 2-3 times

    @TheApexLegendNub I honestly think people think wattson is better than she is, and all people really can back it up with is her win rate.

    Her fence cool down is so slow and you cant fence properly without her ult anyway. There easily destroyed. And a lot of the time, you probably going to get yourself killed if you try fencing when you need it because it's just nowhere near as simple and easy and throwing a gas trap.

    I'd go as far as to say she's one of the weakest legends in the game, maybe in pro play it's different buts that's maybe 1% of players if that ? And they play the game completely different to the majority of us.

    I'd just like to see her more on par with caustic and the very least. There both meant to be able to do a similar job after all

    @JimmyLad993 That really is the issue, wattson was an amazing legend when she was first released... 3 pylons, 20 fence damage, etc and not many legends in the game to counter her except caustic but overtime she just got nerfed and nerfed and more legends/maps were added to the game so she just isn’t good anymore... this isn’t to say she is completely useless but like you said I have almost died trying to replace a fence in front of a door countless times while caustic can just simply chuck gas canisters wherever he wants them to go a wattson must physically go there and 80-90% of the time you can only place one fence peice and have to wait 20 seconds to finish your fence... I just think its ridiculous caustic gets a new cannister faster than wattson gets 1 fence peice when she needs at least 2 of them to do anything at all
