Wattson Buff

Why is Wattson, who is a defense character, also given low profile. Doesn't make much sense, she should have fortified like the other defensive which would also support her security fences in my opinion. I also suggest making her fences do a little more damage and the length of blurred vision increase, because as a defensive character, she seems too slow to place traps and the shots needed to shoot them makes them even less useful. Yes, they are helpful with the identification, but you can't see people who are shooting them so make the ones that aren't broken more effective

  • @GreedLinguine Defensive legends like Gibby and Caustic don't have fortified perk because they are defensive but because they have a big hitbox, So since Wattson has a small hitbox then it does make sense that she has low profile.

    @SERPENT_DESCEND "then it does make sense that she has low profile. " but the machine in his back takes part to his hitbox. Don't have you never noticed it ? She is so easy to hit when she tries to hide herself...

    @n000b51 You sure about this buddy? I haven't faced this problem while playing as her nor saw someone take advantage of that
  • @n000b51The machine on her back doesn’t take damage, check tests on YouTube or just check it yourself with a friend in firing ring, or simply check the hit box comparison in the following link:

    It’s funny, Mirage, Octane, Lifeline, Crypto, etc are desperately need a buff and players are asking buff for S tier champions like Watson or Wraith 😅

    @GreedLinguine Fortified is only based on hit box size and shape, larger champions has fortified and smaller ones (or with weird shapes) get low profile to have a fair game

    I'm not sure of anything, fair enough bc I can't test any hitboxes with some friends ! But I'm sure I could sometimes hit Gib's hitbox firing his handed-shield that was emerged from his orange shield. So I admit the hits the Wattson's caracter can take when I'm playing her are probably the desync results (again & forever... *sigh*) or anything else because I don't find any good reasons to be shooted by a 6x sniper's optic when I'm right in a corner surrounded by 2 full walls.
    And it is probably my best irrelevant reply about this topic as you can all judge it, so by advance, apologies for that !
