How come only certain legends can throw their ults by their teammate watson gen?

For example if I'm Gibby or Bangalore and have a watson on my team I can throw my ultimate at another team. But if I am Caustic I cannot. Why? Also why can I not throw grenades out?

@hayhor You have to be in the inner circle to throw things out. It's not perfect tho. I think they should just change it so that it doesn't block any outgoing projectiles.

I've heard of the two circles thing, but I'm not sure that's how it really works. I've always been under the impression that you can throw from anywhere, as long as the grenade doesn't land inside the affected area of the pylon.

I tried it too, and I don't think the circle thing is how it works. Maybe I'm wrong?

@Sir_Named No I definitely am throwing out from the pylon. You need to be close to it. The logic doesnt make sense but that is how it works.

@hayhor That's unusual then. I'll have to test it again.
But here are some patch notes I pasted:
Interception Pylon.png Interception Pylon: The Pylon is now significantly more aggressive in the way it shoots down grenades. Rather than just identifying between incoming and outgoing projectiles, it now predicts the trajectory of grenades thrown within the interception zone and intercepts them if they will land anywhere within that zone. This means that no grenade can contact any surface within the interception zone regardless of the team, but players can fire grenades outwards from anywhere within the zone.

That was from December, the last update that really changed one of Wattson's abilities.
As you can see, it states you can fire grenades outwards (from anywhere inside or outside), as long as it isn't predicted to land inside it's radius.
