getting annoyed

I'm a Wattson main. I only play her because she's cute — but in every match, 99% of squads have an Ash player.

When Ash gets fenced, she just dashes miles away like nothing happened, even though she's supposed to be "shocked." But okay, fine, whatever.

Now, through recent updates, some Legends like Ash, Ballistic, Catalyst, Conduit, Fuse, Loba, Mad Maggie, and Mirage can get an additional tactical charge through the Legend Upgrade system. Meanwhile, I’m running around with four fences, with an 8-second recharge per fence, and I need two just to make a single doorway. Unless I have my Ultimate placed nearby, it's a joke. And these fences? They can be destroyed by a Knuckle Cluster, Nox Gas, or even just one bullet — but again, that’s "fine."

Scanning a Survey Beacon takes 2 seconds. But to scan the Ring Console? I have to stand there like a statue for 10 seconds. Still, sure… fine.

Let’s talk about class perks:

Skirmisher Legends: They recharge 50 HP on a knock plus get ability charge. That’s OP.

Assault Legends: More ammo, more grenades. They reload their secondary weapons from their backpack, and when their shield breaks, they get a speed boost. Again — OP.

Recon Legends: They get "threat vision." Compared to the previous two, this is basically useless. You just highlight enemies and see their health bar — big deal.

Controller Legends: They get an extra shield bar… but only until purple. So you get nothing in the endgame or during hot drops. Meanwhile, if you're playing Loba, just pop a Market and grab a red helmet, and you have five bars without even taking damage.

Support Legends: Honestly, this class is fine. Probably the most balanced.

All I want to say is: Controller Legends need some love.

Take Caustic, for example:

Massive hitbox
Passive is useless — “Nox Vision”? If you hit an enemy, you see their health bar anyway
His traps don’t deal enough damage. Most people just run through the gas to fight — especially Legends like Ash, who can just dash out instantly. I do the same when playing Wattson.

Wattson’s Ultimate is good for shield charging and cover, but her passive shield regen? I don’t think it’s even working for the past two seasons.

It would be nice if, when someone gets zapped by a fence, it canceled their abilities for the 3 seconds they're shocked. Right now:

Octane gets zapped = stim still works
Ash = zapped, dashes away instantly
Pathfinder = grapple, gone
Loba, Wraith = teleport, phase, etc. No consequences

Honestly, that kind of fence-lock might be too OP — but the current system makes fencing feel pointless against mobile Legends.

also chasing these legends on long range like ash loba  is impossible  with legends like wattson  or any "not movement legend" ...  i know i just crying but maybe someone is on the same side
