@Leo_the_Lion25 I love wattson, and I feel like she indeed could have maybe a bit of love from the devs ^^
I like the idea of the cooldown reduction, but I think that right now it is like that because it is intended to be used when you are settuping a building with your ult deployed.
But indeed having to wait 2 minutes to being able to place 4 pylons... it is a little bit long I guess, you have to use it carefully if you don't have your ult, so maybe deducing it to 1 min 40 could help.
Especially if you just got out of a fight and you'r getting 3rd partied and don't have your ult, 20 sec less could maybe be a life savior in those cases, without being too powerfull I think? (I may be wrong...)
For the pylons life, 25HP is still more than caustic bombs wich are 1 shot, and a big part of the pylons is placing them in a way that the ennemies can't destroy them easily.
So that would be a buff to the wattson that use their pylons in the open, wich I think is not what is the intent of the character and even tho it should not specially be punished, it should not be encouraged I think.
I +1 you on the fences damage, just a tad more would be nice to disuade someone to pass through, withour being to OP.
For the time of placement of the fences, I think it is like Wraith when she goes into the void, she got some time before she got her weapon ready to shot again because it is not designed to push too agressivly on the ennemy.
That's the same for the fences I think, it is not intended to be used in fight, it is a tool that must be setup before the fight.
This is all the character is about, she's a setup character as I call her ^^ she work well with a pathfinder for example : know where the circle is going to be, pick a building in the zone and setup in it and be ready when others team come.
Off course not at the beginning of the game, more when there is only 3 or 4 teams left ^^ (that is just my idea of the character and how I understand her gameplay, I didn't say this is the only way she must be used, just that I think that it is the main way the devs planned her to be used =)
I like the idea of her being imune to other fences, if I am not mistaking Caustics are immune to other Caustics gas no (I didn't play him much sorry ><) if it is the case, I think it would be kind of logic to have Wattson imune to all fences. But as a drawback that would nullify the utility of the fences as you could destroy it like it's nothing after passing it... so gameplay wise it may be better to left it the way it is no? =s
+1 for giving shield back on res ^^ it fit well with the character
Shield restoration is a tricky one, for example Octane restore his life because he got a Q that take some of his life... So we would need something that take some of her shield to have her get some regeneration (maybe placing a fence take some of her shield? but if you have no shield... you can't place fences? that's a complicated one...)
+1 for the range visibility of her ult =)
Teammates destroying her ult can be useful, for example if you are relocating and you know another team is coming behind, it can be useful to detroy her ult to not give them an advantage... and if wattson is too far away to do it or if she's already dead... well that's not good for your team ^^
I understand that it can be frustrating to have teammates that destroy it for no reason but for me and my friends it would be horrific if they could not destroy it when needed =)
Damn I didn't expect to bring such a large response >< anyway good propositions nontheless =) bring some love to Wattson!! 😛 (ho and I read my text back but I'm pretty sure some may find a lot of errors in my non native english speaking arse text 😛 so please excuse me ^^) Bye! ;p
