Well from what I've read, bloodhound has a low win rate, does that mean he's no good and needs a buff ? Stats only paint half a picture.
They know that wattson is only really picked in high level play. And they don't want to change her incase they ruin pro play. I feel that's a bad way off looking at it as it's only a small percentage of players that are pro.
Her ultimate can be destroyed easily, and there's not always a good spot to put it in the open, caustic can throw his ult and separate a full team or multiple teams, causing lots of damage, and scatter gas cans also
Wow a patch of gas that can be avoided and canisters that are easy to destroy and if they pop only last seconds. As opposed to a pylon that neutralizes everything including that gas ult and canisters. Not to mention a smaller character that is harder to hit as opposed to a sumo sized grim reaper.

Caustics gas isn't easy to avoid all the time, if you've taken cover in the open and he throws it you take damage and are slowed then forced to move into the open, and can easily get beamed, paired with a horizon ult, your in for a bad time.
Wattsons fences are easy to destroy if you block a door in most cases if a enemy opens the door they can easily get a line of sight to shoot them, caustic can block the door from being opened and if placed right and the doors opened the trap will set off straight away.
Wattsons fences you can spot from across the map, and if someone walks through them the damage is nothing compared to gas, also if Gibby throws his dome in the line of the fences It blocks them leaving a team free to push past them, making her fences useless, caustics gas destroys her fences to.
Yes he's big but he also takes less damage, wattson is smaller but takes more damage so if your half decent at hitting your shots it makes no difference.
- 5 years ago@JimmyLad993 Hitbox size definitely does make a difference. Wattson in a no abilities 1v1 would smoke a Caustic. He can't even peak without a quarter of his hitbox being visible first.
- 5 years ago@JimmyLad993 Caustic can also hurt his team I've been locked out of our buildings and gas has cut off my sight to the enemy. Where wattson doesn't do that.
Also Caustic runs out of canisters, wattson can spam her ult which once again recharges shields and negates everything thrown at you. Doesn't her fences do 15 damage now and stun not slow thats more than 2 tics of Caustic damage
Also 20 percent damage difference is not enough to cover shots hitting because Caustic is almost twice as big as wattson- 5 years ago@Ironflower196 No, her fences do not stun. They only slow, and they only have 25 health which is painful for her kit. She needs them to have 50 health for them to be effective again because Caustic gas destroys a fence in two ticks now instead of 4. She's not quite in a good spot yet, plus the devs are specifically bullying her since she made the meta camping for a few seasons.
- 5 years ago@Ironflower196 thats kind of suprising to me octanes dont win as much, i guess though its probably because having all that speed a lot of players think they can solo push as him and die from those mistakes.

I agree they shouldn't look at it the way they do though stats are one thing but do not paint the whole picture of what is needed for each character
