Wattson needs Buffs! She's Bad my god

  1. Dude, give Wattson 15% reduced damage.
  2. Increase the radius of her ultimate
  3. Make her ultimate go throw objects like Gib's Dome does so it can regenerate shields while taking cover during a gun fight.
  4. Slightly increase regenerate of her ultimate. I don't know what it is but it is so slow and can't even regen 25 health. I rather pop a shield cell sadly, if you need to nerf her, make her have 2 ultimate up rather than 3. Let's be real, who needs 3 of these things. 2 is fine but you need to make it regen faster because it can't regen 25 shield fast enough
  5. Make her deploy slightly faster with her fences. Please give her 4 charges and not three because it takes 4 to close something perfectly. She can have 12 rods up at once so why in the world does she has 3 charges. Please make it 4.

Long story short, she is THICC. Takes too much damage. I lose fights more often with her. Her ult is the worst in the game. She is the worst legend in the game and Gib and Caustic became better than her. This is because she's new and you guys are testing things out. But I tell you, she needs the 15% reduced damage, increased ult buffs and slightly faster deployment. 

I like Wattson and would like to main her. But at this rate, I might go back to my Lifeline girl.

Thank you for reading. I seriously need a new Legend to main and I want it to be Wattson. But god, she THICC

    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.

    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.

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

  • @Leo_the_Lion25Wattson does not need a buff.

    She is okay.

    She is for defensive medium range players.

    Her fence need 500 - 1000 health like the purple down shield.

    I play bangalore and pathfinder and her ultimate has stopped me from spamming grenades, smoke, and my artillery strike.

    In my last game I was running from the storm and decided to run through bunker only to be caugh by her electric fence snd ambushed by her.

    so she is not under powered.

  • @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.

    @EA_Blueberry I agree they can be useful when you need to barricade your self in etc, but they can be easily broken. Too easily imo. That’s why they should be able to take more damage before being destroyed as some people have suggested. Or as I suggested, when her ultimate is in close proximity of the perimeter fences, they are indestructible until the ultimate is destroyed.

    Giving a bonus to this bad hero won't make them any better. Let's just say it now, Wattson 100% sucks. There is nothing from this hero worth playing. Making walls is someones poor idea at Respawn to make camping legends to try and get more bad players to want to try the game, it's that simple.
