Okay, we need to NERF Wattson

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?

    @MandatoryIDtag I guess I should've added she's like Rampart in the fact that someone has to really know what they're doing to get the most out of her. I can't say for sure how often the final ring lands where. But her ult comes in clutch if you're facing any Legend with a projectile/explosive ult or tactical in the final rounds as well. So even if you don't have use of her fences in some situations you have that. As open as Olympus is, basically all of the POIs have some sort of structures which mean you can still use her fences to influence the fight if you're in a major POI. But again you have to have someone who knows how to use her. She's not a noob friendly Legend which would also make sense why her pick rate isn't too high.

    @Lord_Scorpion34 They should just remove all of the random crap inside buildings that stops you putting fences down or interrupting stuff. Idk why she got nerfef in the first place. She got a point where she was strong then she took a nose dive with all the other legends. Heck it. Buff her ult I wanna see Shadows jump padding in getting zapped back to the totem. Insta kill.

    Didn't they say that her fences weren't being crossed in high ranking/lvl lobbies xD Doesn't that say enough? And to answer your question I either shoot it down or climb to another route.

    @Lord_Scorpion34 I can see how it could be good. My comment came from a pretty casual point of view though as I rarely play ranked and certainly not to a high level so I undoubtedly don't see the best Wattsons around. For me, I can never seem to tempt anyone to ever walk through a fence no matter how well I think I place them.
  • @Cheese9ManHe needs to quit focusing so much on ‘’win rates’’, he kept claiming Wattson had the highest win rate in Arenas too when not only are every legend’s abilities restricted but also Arenas is basically 80% gun skills, 20% abilities so as long as you have gun skills you are going to win... it doesn’t matter what character you pick I can win games on Wattson in both BR and Arenas as the kill leader without using her abilities a single time... win rates do not prove anything... gun skills and movement are what matter the most in BR and shooting games in general

  • @GH0STEDbyME That random stuff inside of buildings is exactly what is wrong with wattsons tool kit, you cannot place her fence nodes in good locations because of all of the clutter in the way
