It is also a position revealing system for Wattson's team, though. :/
They don't really get stuck in the fence for a long time, do they? Once you've turned around to spot them, they are already out of the fence. If you're aiming at them and they start walking through, then yes, it works, but then the enemy was just suicidal. :D
I made two of these buff Wattson threads. This was the first one and another was for Season 5.
Looking back at both threads, I see the devs finally gave us this:
- Wattson can stack 2 Ultimate accelerants per inventory slot
Which is what I wrote in this very first thread:
"Wattson can now hold up to 2 Ultimate Accelerants in her inventory at once now instead of 1. This is highly requested, Wattson needs these to make her viable in certain situations. Her ultimate can easily be destroyed and takes 3 minutes to get back."
Most of the people I saw claim Wattson was nerfed. I did make a long post on Twitter explaining things:
"I keep seeing people say Wattson was hit hard with her changes, but it's the other way around. Wattson's Pylon now last 90 seconds instead of forever. Looks like a nerf but this doesn't change much to be honest. Wattson got her ult in 180 seconds (3 minutes). This means when the 90 seconds ends, her percentage will be at 50% to another ult. Plus, she can now have 2 ult accels in her inventory which is huge. Three Pylons at once means a skilled Wattson main can hold a top or bottom of a building again with ease. Furthermore, Gold Helmet with her is decent again rather than a quick Pylon recharge. If my math is correct, before 90 seconds expire. Wattson ult charge with gold helmet should be around 70% to another ult. The major nerf Wattson really got was Crypto EMP destroying Pylon which is something that should have been a thing long ago. But Wattson has counterplay with 3 Pylons & ult accels. Loba can be a little sneaky against a Wattson main now but that is a Loba skillset which is awesome. There's nothing wrong with change. Players adapt even if their main Legends get changes. Patch goes live tomorrow and I'll still be maining Wattson and having fun. The meta change is still awesome to see as well. New playstyles to discover!
Good job @PlayApex"

I'm excited Wattson actually got some changes. I still want to see something done about her fences, but for now. The main focus is seeing how the meta will change and increasing the skill gap of Wattson mains instead of just keeping only one Pylon up and running. I can now do things that I was able to do back in Season 2 again because Wattson can have 3 Pylons. It does matter and it will be fun seeing how other Legends ago against a Wattson team.
i'll probably be making a third Wattson thread later this year but most likely for Season 6 to be honest. Other Legends really need to be looked at the most now. Mainly, Bangalore and Loba.
And I'll say it, Octane is still bad. Speaking for his recent buff found here just encase I confused anyone.

- 6 years ago@Leo_the_Lion25 I wonder how people are going to use the 3 pylons.
I don’t think their shield effects stack, unfortunately, but with 3 pylons you could really make a huge safe zone. Could be annoying to throw grenades out of it.
Yeah, there seems to be a power creep, Bangalore might need to be buffed. She’s only gotten like 2 changes ever, so she is pretty balanced, but other legends are just getting stronger and stronger.
We’ll have to see about Octane though. 40% move speed? That’s insanely fast.
