Wattson Passive Re-work

Since Wattson has been released she has received a series of direct and indirect nerfs to her tool kit.

With the nerf to her Ultimate it made her passive a whole lot less useful because no longer could you stacks UA's and use them to get 3 Interception Pylons in a building. Now that Ultimate accelerants have become more rare and add 35% to an ultimate instead of 20%, her passive ability is even less potent that it was in the past.

I think it's time for a rework, so here are a couple of ideas for Passive abilities that I have come up with:

Grounded

Wattson receives 60% less damage from electrical damage sources (Arc Stars & Fences). Wattson can charge arc stars with extra electrical energy while aiming them to increase the blast radius size.

Static Protection

Wattson will gradually recharge the shields of nearby allies & when Wattson revives an ally they come back with 25 shields (Stacks with Golden backpack) 

Static Shock

While Wattson has her shields equipped her melee attack deals 45 damage and stuns for 2 seconds, but deals 15 damage to her shields as well.

Spark of Genius

Ultimate Accelerants fully charge your Ultimate Ability and boost your tactical Ability recharge for 20 seconds. 

(Tactical recharge from Wattson's ultimate would be part of the ultimate's ability rather than the passive)

Which of these ultimates do you like the most? Please comment below!

  • To Buff Wattson's Passive, really all she needs is to be able to hold 2 Ultimate Accelerants and when she revives knockdown allies, they get 25 shield health. This also means when a Wattson self resurrects herself, she gets the 25 shield health. And it of course stacks with the Level 4 backpack. Giving both Lifeline and Wattson a reason to have lvl 4 backpack for a team.
