I've just thought of something :

You guys do know that you can put 3 of her ultimates down at once, right? It's definitely not underpowered.

I agree she needs a buff. No one is stupid enough to run through the perimeter fences, and they are easy enough to destroy. I think if you place her ultimate near the perimeter fences, then the perimeter fences should be indestructible. If the enemy destroy her ultimate, they can then destroy the fences.

The fences can save your team's skin though when you need to barricade yourself to heal back up.

What Legend makeup do you think makes Wattson most successful?

  @EA_Blueberry Wattson, Caustic and Lifeline is a nightmare. Set up in the vicinity of a fight and 3p whilst poking from your forward base you've set up. A team's option is to either reset and move off and give you the loot, or they fight you and you turtle up creating enough noise that they're going to get 3ped.

  @EA_Blueberry The fences are useless you’re playing against people who dont have any idea what they’re doing, against sweats actually anyone who’s smart just throw grenades through her fence

  I think she's brilliant. It's like someone else said on these forums, reminds me a lot of Symmetra from Overwatch.

I think Wattson is in a really really good place at the moment.
Her hitbox makes her a pretty hard target and her skills are really useful in the right hands. I think it's important to take into account what her value is other than just getting damage from her fences. Those fences can really put a spanner into an enemy teams push, and it's really good for separating enemy team-mates from each other.
On top of that her ultimate is probably one of the best in the game at the moment, purely due to its ability to shoot ordinance out of the air. I've played a bunch of games with her now where i've heard the interception pylon zap several grenades out of the air and give me the breathing room to heal over and over again.
If you're playing Wattson too defensively however it is important to know that she is most powerful when she pushes, as many opponents won't expect a push from her you can really take people by surprise. Then once you've got people's attention you retreat back to your safe space to heal or plan a second ambush.

  @Cabowse I can't get there man. Someone's hitbox not accurately resembling the model isn't a feature with which to balance things - it's TERRIBLE design for an FPS :S
  
  You shoot what you can see. It has ever been thus. Making things you can see lots of but not land any hits on is garbage.
