I have to disagree with you on 2 points, the only reason wattson is situational is because of "your" playing style (assuming it's wkeying people), with wattson you have to make it your situational advantage regardless of circumstances. She's a defender, and a good one if played properly by the user and teammates. Positioning is everything with her, if you can bait a push with a good set up( eventually the vision during games improves ) and you can focus people easily.
The other point is mostly about setting up fences to slowly, I disgree, you can set her up in 5 seconds and If you have more time you can create a fortress, I've seen so many wattson's placing fences then cancelling then resetting it because it wasn't perfect, that's a huge waste of time when getting pushed.
Basically I'm saying its user error in this case,
Anyways feel free to counter my argument,
if it was just user error we would have seen more Wattson but we are not seeing. Compare her Fence which requires to cast twice to link a fence with Caustic and anyone that can cast an ability during a gun fight. Can you cast a fence during a fight?
If we are gonna talk about team comp, then we need to have a Path/BH/Crypto, to define zone and camp. Then you can do it with any legends, you don't need Wattson. Rogue was maining Wattson and he stopped, we saw Nefan playing Wattson in ALGS and it was mostly was the case of her dueling capability.
I get what you mean and I agree but you can't deny Wattson being lackluster when comes to her abilities, it is not my words, even statistics showing it and Respawn knows it and they talked about it. Remember we want tweaks, we don't want straight buffs. She doesn't really need any straight buffs but she def could use some tweaks.
I see where you're going and I agree, a slight tweak could help her out, my thought would be mostly towards crypto , his emp should disable instead of destroy fence and gen, 10seconds after emp everything back to normal.
Maybe something like that ?
we shall see, they talked a mini rework or something.
