I am a Wattson main and I always have to be scared about where I place my ultimate because of these reasons:It charges enemy shieldsIt destroys my teammates projectiles( Bang’s smoke and ult, Caustic’s Nox, teammate grenades, etc)Breaks too easilyIt makes me feel like sometimes it benefits the enemy more than my team

@WHITEyy6969 Friends who play Bloodhound/Gibraltar/Caustic all use the accelerants whenever they have time.

@Tam3DK1LL3R An enemy team have to be INSIDE you to be charging shields from it, and it's not the kind of recharge rate that stops you fighting if you're both getting it :S I don't understand this complaint about the ult.

@iBlockHead Ah apologies, I misread and in that case I don't see that being a problem or abused in anyway. Some cooldowns are rediculously quick anyway but it won't make them any more powerful. May help increase her usage to.As for ultimate accelerants perhaps I was too dismissive but personally, unless I'm running lifeline, I feel to make it worthwhile you have to use more than one and in order to do this you are required to drop/swap items multiple times (unless you have a decent backpack) which leaves you vulnerable to say the least.

@WHITEyy6969 tact, not their ult, also anyone who has to wait a min or longer for their ult should be using accelerants as it allows for more ults to be used, I know I do whenever I'm bloodhound to get his cool Predator modeAnyways, my suggestion was just to poke fun. I mean it would be cool to see it charge others tacts and just have someone spray down smoke every few seconds or have caustic just keep throwing his gas cans like short range nades.

@Tam3DK1LL3R you could be more thoughtful about where you place it. I always try to place it next to a wall or object so that if my teammates want to throw items, they just go around the other side and toss away. It also makes it a difficult target to hit. As for charging enemy shields, Lifelines drone heals the enemy as well if they drop it and leave or die. Wattson, like any other legend, is in a good spot if you play her correctly.If anything, it would be cool to see her also charge other legends tacts fast and not just her own, than she'll be an even greater threat!

WATTSON’S ULTIMATE IS TOO NEUTRAL

@iBlockHead I'm not sure on the charging of other legends ultimates, unless the charge in minimal otherwise surely this will be abused? I mean apart from lifeline does anyone use the accelerants? I don't believe so therefore with your proposed change there another reason not to.

Every legend has time duration on their special ability. Can you explain why watson special ability no time duration? That's why in rank mode during the third circle still has around 7-9 squads left. Sometimes can be 12 squads left. Just camp and enemy cannot throw grenade etc. It should be nerf by giving time duration.

@MyLife1k I don't think that's true. Pathfinder for one does not have that and also Octane.
Wattson Ult, just like Octanes, can be destroyed and that is why it does not have a time limit on it.

The whole, "Sometimes can be 12 squads left." Could just be because it is ranked and everyone wants to be first place. Fortnite is the same way. the smallest circle usually has around 5-10 players still alive because again, it is ranked and being first means a lot.

@MyLife1kJust throw a grenade at it and destroy it! 😂

In all seriousness, as mentioned above, it can be shot and destroyed. I don't see any problem with that and even if it isn't easily destroyed, due to position or you don't want to give your position away, it doesnt mean the other team are invincible or harder to kill, it just means you can't use grenades.
You could argue gunfights can be decided by grenades and a well placed arc star but we always knew grenade spam would be countered sooner or later so now, or if a Wattson is about, different tactics are required.

@WHITEyy6969Re: ultimate accelerants and bag space - I only play with a handful of wattson mains, but when I do - I'll actually carry an ult accelerant for them, 2 if I can if I get a level 2/3 backpack. I more or less forego grenades in order to do it but that lack of bombardment potential is more than made up for being able to have 3 of those shield generators down when the poop hits the spinny thing.
