Wraith running through Wattson fences is Not ok.

What is the point for already the worst characters defense if you can just run through it?  There is no point of setting up defenses if wraith can walk through any amount of fences unscathed and por...

There can only be one wraith per team so just kill her if she breaks through, simple.

    Wattson is amazing in the right hands and if you main her like you say, than you should know she is best when already having a set up made for an area rather than attempting to do so when being chased, unless you are good are managing speed and placement that is. 

    I love her and main her in rank because she can assure a win more often than other legends. She can cut off areas for enemies and if a wraith does manage to make a portal across for her teammates, you are bound to hear that and if you can't, that means you are far enough not to worry about it. 

    Attempting to place fences while on the move is a dangerous game but can be done given you know where to place them already and how to cross them so that they stall the enemy without spending to much time. 

    Wraith being able to phase through it is justifiable and fair. She can phase out of any damage, explosive, gunfire, and even circle dmg. This is pretty much like complaining that she can avoid Caustics gas traps if she phases through it. No real argument here besides wanting a buff for your favorite legend.

      Yes you are right I do know it's best to set up first rather than counter, which is what I do 8/10 times depending on the situation. The other 2 I manage to be good with speed and placement. I do agree

      I agree that Its definitely fair for wraith to be able to void in and out given you can here her coming which has been good feed back I've been hearing. And it's not really wanting a buff more so disagreeing with the nerf and wondering why they wouldn't buff her instead.

        @SilentChillBruh The really only took out the placement of 3 pylons which a lot of times hindered your own team with the blaring hellish sound of currents and sparks that would cancel out enemy footsteps allowing them to run up behind your team without you knowing.

        I suggest building layers of defense, especially in Bunker. One fence at each gate, one for each door across from each-other (should be 3) leaving you able to drop down two more nodes to place right down the center of either the bottom section or the top in order to force players to stop and focus on the node for a few seconds.

        The nerf was a bit of a hit but nonetheless, she is still viable, players just need to put more thought into where they want to place her pylon to cover the most ground but still not make it an easy target.

        A buff I myself would suggest that would bring back the usefulness of her passive is allowing the previous pylon to explode (or overcharge) and deal a stun to enemies near it if, and only if, a new pylon is placed down.

        This way you will still want to carry around those accelerators in order to drop a giant arc star (no dmg, just stun) while running away or simply blockading and than popping it when you place another.

    @Jman91275 Its not as simple killing her if she breaks through with a team of 3 at the same time. Situation: *Bunker*

    Wattson set up at the top of stairs like all watsons do between both doors. Me and are accessing situation we know they are there and waiting for the attack.

    Boom, portal pops up right in your face on the your side of the fences in comes 3 players bombarding you. There's almost no way to counter that unless you put up fences in front of portal in time to negate players but you can't because they are shooting you down already.

      I experienced this first-hand just last week.  Was in a two-man squad as Caustic with Wattson, team-mate got fences up in a room, I threw a few traps willy-nilly and waited.. Suddenly, but in slow motion (Compared to Apex Legends' game pace) I see Wraiths trail drifting right in front of me... She pops out in a safe spot (Where I had no trap) and her two team mates are right behind her.

      Needless to say we got wiped out, but we put up a valiant effort.  I was surprised though.   It was a really cool move.

      Knowledge is power... Since then I have been waiting for opportunity to use her and try out this.
