Wattson buff idea — nearest fence counter

Hi!
I came up with an interesting solution for Wattson that could make life easier for players.
There are often situations when you need to quickly build a base. The first fences are set to the most basic passages, then the fences of the second line of defense... and then the player is confused about how many fences he has already put, you have to count them manually. Wattson needs the nearest fences counter tool.
The standard tool does not implement this function properly, because this counter is filled quickly, and then almost never changes, and all indicators remain filled until the end of the match.

I suggest that the indicators have a white stroke showing the number of fences in 10-20 meters from Wattson. In this case, you can see how many fences are installed in the current location, and how many can be set without breaking the initial structure.

Thanks!

    @txtcxI mean I wouldnt mind but neither do I personally care if this got implemented or not.

    It would just negate any skill required to play Wattson. People are getting way too comfortable with these ideas. The game isnt supposed to be as easy as possible you know.

    @txtcx We could make her really OP... the interceptor could be more like a Tesla coil. Recharges friend shields, but zaps enemies for damage when they are in it...

    @DarthValtrex Oh no lol. As a Wattson main, this would make her Area denial even more crazy late game. I wouldnt complain if she did get that buff

    @VCTRY_CloverWzy  I get what you're saying but this doesn't offer any real benefit other than ease of play, it's not like other legend don't have anything similar anyway. Bangalore smokes grenades tell you how many she has available, as do caustics gas traps. Hell even Gibraltar's arm shield has a hp bar on his arm.

    @MandatoryIDtag It still tells you how many fences you've got placed out. And if you're good enough and have played enough Wattson you have no trouble counting how many nodes you've placed in a building. Any good Wattson players count them.

    I just don't like when people want Respawn to make the game easier for them rather than people making the game easier for themselves by getting better and putting some effort into the game.

    This change is nothing we need at all.

    I'm a Wattson main and you sir just came up with a darn good idea that will help us out. Yes, it's indeed annoying to count them manually and we won't take the old ones down from a different building. We need to know how many we build on the fly in the new building/area. 

    This should be moved to Legend Feedback section by the way.

    @Leo_the_Lion25 
    Thank you!
    I tried to find a way to move this post to Legends Feedback, but couldn't. Do you know how to do this?
