Wattson Main Buff Suggestions For Season 5
I've always main Wattson ever since her release during Season 2 and continued to use her all the way throughout. I always waited patiently waiting for Wattson to get balanced but it never happened ot...

@Leo_the_Lion25 I don’t really know about the Low Profile thing. I get that she isn’t actually that hard to hit, but she does have a relatively small hitbox, and the pylon on her back can be a bit misleading. Also, being hard to hit does matter in pro levels, it seems, as one of Wraith’s big advantages is her small hitbox, and that’s what a lot of pros use her for. All in all, my vote is maybe.
For her tactical:
I think it probably should stay 30 seconds, because she has her ult. Her ult can be easily spammed with a few accelerants, plus it provides a lot of advantages. She has the option to drastically reduce the cooldown if she places her ult, while Caustic does not.
With the 25 health thing, just place it to the sides of the entrance. If you put it in a place where enemies can’t shoot, then it’ll stay there indefinitely (until you remove it or something). Sure, they can toss grenades in to destroy the nodes, but again, the ultimate counters this.
Increasing the damage could be okay. Just keep in mind 2 things: 1. You can make a triangle pattern with the fences to deal 20 damage. 2. The fences are mainly good for guarding your flanks, forcing enemies to go a certain route, alerting you to enemies, or slow them down.
The wiki has some tips for this which I think are useful.

Node speed I agree with.
Spark of Genius:
Wattson shouldn’t be immune to other Wattson traps. That’s more of a Caustic ability, plus her voicelines about being ready and charged don’t translate exactly to being electrically insulated.
The revive should do something special, she does have a special animation for it.
I don’t think Wattson should be regenerating shields. Mainly because that is her ultimate, plus we already have a regenerating legend.
Pylon:
Again, I am not sure that the inner ring/outer ring thing actually has any merit. I don’t think it actually does anything, and the wiki doesn’t have any mention of it either. The pylon is just a neutral thing that can destroy friendly ordnance and enemy ordnance.
Teammates probably should have the ability to shoot the pylon. If your teammates are bad and destroy it for no reason, then they’re just bad teammates. Teammates can also activate Caustic traps, so it’s not like Wattson is the only one hurt by this.

- @Sir_Named Don't know why you're linking a site I literally edit and add information too. Heck, you see my name in Wattson's edit history.
- @Leo_the_Lion25 Well, then you can take a look at what you edited.
- @Sir_Named I don't need to.
- @Sir_Named I dont know why someone would aim at her pylon in general my man, Me coming from lifeline playing at high tier levels, pred lobbies and even scrims... Wattson is very disavantaged vs wraith, pathfinder and others Wattson is like Caustic but with 5% increase damage taken if i'm out in the open i get punished regardless which makes sense but there should be no reason for countless nerfs if the character is basic as it is. - JohnD3mon
- @Imminent-TTV Eh, maybe the occasional situation where you want to leave a house, but have to break the pylon so enemies can’t use it. Or maybe if an enemy is using your pylon.
Enemies would definitely/should definitely aim for the pylon. Since you can shoot it but not grenade it, then shooting it is the only way to destroy it. (Without Crypto or Caustic)Even Tollis says Low Profile needs to be removed from Wattson and he has the most kills and time with her in the world across all platforms.

- @Imminent-TTV You play Lifeline at high ranked levels, right? So how do you feel about the low profile nerf?
