Seriously, Buff Wattson Already
I don't care if she's meta in Scrims. Wattson is lowkey bad!!!! I am so sick of using my ultimate and the enemies still spam grenades at me. I just died because they throw 6 grenades into the buildi...

@Sizbang The fence doesn’t make them get stuck, and there is a good amount of time that they are slowed down, enough time to turn and shoot them. Or, move to attack them.
It can be revealing, but if you are in an enclosed building, they won’t know where everything is, and an ignorant player might not even know.

I think one of the major issues with Wattson is that setting up her fences in a fight is unreliable.
It takes too much time and precision, as well as forcing the player to move from point to point risking themselves of getting shot. Sure you can make fences before getting into a fight, but you'll need to make sure the ring won't force you to move after your done setting, wait for a long cooldown to set up your fences, or waste an ult to set up the fences faster.
So you are done setting up the fences, then you are suddenly forced to move again because of the ring/aggressive teammates who like to push, as a result you either end up with no ult, or no fences.
Apex is a fairly mobile game where a player may have to be constantly on the move, but the limitations on Wattson make her tactical only useful in specific situations. Not to mention her ult is still super buggy (i.e. the pylon still destroys grenades when throwing them away from the pylon (more specifically when thrown down from on top of the building).
This thread is indeed old. I still main Wattson but I'll eventually make another suggestion version for this after the event is over.
- @Adendon The pylon is supposed to delete all ordnance that would land in it’s range. I think in your situation, it’s assuming the lower ground is still part of it’s range. Which it should, mostly. You just have to throw them really far out to make sure they don’t land nearby.
- @Sir_Named So I think I may have found the actual bug(?) with Wattson's ultimate after play testing. Apparently if you are 14 to 18.5 meters away from the ult, and throw in a direction away from the ult, Wattson's ult will automatically/instantly intercept the throwables...
I've been able to do this consistently even on flat planes...
