@Ironflower196Its not 100% logical. Because the stats for wattson reflect mostly high level play. Below that her pick rate is non existent.
There no doubt she's a good legend, but for normal play, her kit can be underwhelming, especially with the new maps. So the stats are slightly one sided.
Caustic is the closest to compare her to, hes pick massively across the board, and in most situations he's much more useful.
Do me a favour play wattson for half a day, and caustic for half a day and see who you feel you get your money's worth with the most.
You said yourself you've played watton very little that in itself says a lot.
Her fences are easily destroyed with a painfully slow cooldown, and extremely situational on the new maps.
Her ultimate is good but you rely on accelerants and it doesn't always stop grenades depending on where you place it, and you rely on her ultimate also for her kit to work to its full potential
He is overall a more useful and stronger legend. I guarantee you if so many noobs didn't pick caustic his win rate would be just as high if not higher than wattson
@JimmyLad993Idk wattson’s win rate but caustic was bumped up to #5, caustic also has the #1 win rate for matches lasting longer than 20 minutes

@TheApexLegendNubI have no idea about win rate stats in all honesty just what I've heard, this Is a quote from one of the Devs
"Right now she's barely seen, even at the highest level, and even in comp she's fallen off from her near-100% pick rate peak, but it doesn't take very much to push an already strong character from "never seen" to "everywhere and a pain in the butt".
Right now the winrate top 5 breaks down as Horizon > Wraith > Gibby > Lifeline > Wattson. If we put meaningful power into Wattson it's quite likely we'd make a not-so-fun to play character a must pick for people trying to win. That's not great"
That was posted about a month ago, so I'm sure it's shifted now tho
