Apex Legends making defensive legends be useless

After Valk was released, she made almost all legends be useless specially the defensive ones even there’s a weapon that ruins all matches like Bocek, something unfair. Those legends like Wattson, Caustic and Rampart are totally useless by Valk. Valk is balanced but the problem is defensive legends aren’t powerful like others, with missiles or weapons every object to defend is broken immediately.

The game is losing something essential called strategies and defense, it can’t be only movement and pew pew aggressively like Octane and Wraith. Example: Rampart walls are useless absolutely cuz everyone destroys them at once which is hard for some people to wait cuz of the cool down and prepare another one.

I would like them to Buff all defensive legends except Gibby (he’s balanced) well so there’s balance in the game. It’s not like it was supposed to be before.

    it had, for example, for wattson fences you have to think in how to put them for fortify your territory and rampart as well with their walls, now the accidental nerf for wattson everyone can cross them without problem, same with Caustic and Rampart tacticals with a weapon

    @cloud9955zero The reason is money.

    When they made Wattson meta, all pro team were doing camp fire and never get out, it was not fun to watch, less viewer, sponsor doesn't want to sponsor. 

    People love gunfight so they nerfed all defensive legends to the ground.

    @asukojo I don’t think it’s because of money. We’ve seen stuff like this happen in the past with other aspects of the games. They always make adjustments accordingly. I’m sure more adjustments are coming.

    It can, I think Sheila is ok but the wall is still an issue cuz it’s still weak.

    Totally agree.  One of the appeals to this game was the variety of legends and playstyles.  They seem determined to "dumb" everything down to cater to shoot-shoot-shoot playstyle and that's it.  Pretty sad.

    @cloud9955zero I think it's one of those tough ones. She's fine if she's got time to set up but if you're getting focused then you're gonna have a hard time. I put it down to it being a playing with randoms vs playing with friends kind of difference.
