NRG Sweet and and Daniel Klein, the lead game designer of Apex, got into a heated argument over twitter. I'm not the guy who would say "the devs don't play their game" but this Wattson hot take is just bad. I guess it's all about the numbers for this dev. What do you guys think? Does Wattson need a complete rework?
They should probably put that guy back in his box and not allow him to interact with the player base any longer.
I can't remember the last time a fence really influenced a game I was playing at all.
How do you compare stats between lifeline wraith and wattson? It's actually a ridiculous example considering number of people playing each respective legend.
Wattsons skillset is powerful in such a limited set of circumstances that its actually laughable.
@MrCarri-X To be fair that was regarding a bug with her fences not slowing legends, which I'm told has since been fixed...aint played her in a while lol. Its still dumb that they do so little damage though.
I think Mr klein still thinks wattsons living out her s2 glory days before they added so many legends that can hard counter her lol, and she could actually lock down an area.
No, he just watched this clip. 🤨

It is absolutely insane to just brush off his point about wraith players dropping hot every game and wattson players playing it safe. One legend is designed to get in and out of gunfights while the other is designed for camping and controlling areas. Of course players that want to jump into action immediately are going to pick wraith while the players that pick wattson are some of the players that will land the furthest from anyone else and loot half the game before ever seeing anyone. Not to mention Wraith's design and abilities are just cooler and more fun to use so new players to the game will gravitate to that legend. The idea that they hold win rate so high when buffing and nerfing characters is a little bit baffling to me to be honest. yeah Wattson might have a slightly higher win rate but imagine if they compared the total kills per season between the two legends. I don't need any data in front of me to tell you that the gab will be enormous.
