Re: wattson buff idea - buff her fence when she ults

Everyone complaining about shooting the fences being too easy : A good Wattson will place fences somewhere where you have to walk THROUGH them to shoot them.  Other than clever use, her tactical isn't very useful - but a pathfinder grappling thin air, a wraith using her tactical as though it makes her permanently bulletproof out in the open, a lifeline using her healbot when you're trying to creep around: these are equally useless.

Every complaint I've seen about Wattson being bad suggests that the players playing Wattson in the examples is bad at playing her.

to stop hacking isnt the focus of this thread. hacking is akin to witchcraft, witchcraft translates to the word rebel, and how can you stop rebels is the real question, meaning to stop hacker you have to stop the root word of hacker - the witch the rebel.

how do you you stop witchcraft, and a game isnt going to do that i think it isnt the place of a game to do that.

if you want no hackers buy a ps4 and game apex legends on that.

what i want for wattson is she be buffed to give more damage somehow. her useless ult is one way she can be buffed. now i know the super wattson can do all things and walk on water i dont think the regular wattson can do much with wattsons ultimate tbh.

even increase her shield repair would help, thats something useful for her ult to do.

wattson rollin in with her buffed shield repair ult;

All the people that have been crying about grenades killing them since the game came out respawn answers that with Watson and now stoping grenades and slowly charging shields is not enough 

Her fence is weak (saying this so many times).

Today, most player tend to not crossing electric fence (naturall instict), but just like caustic trap, the more people realize it's weak, they will just barge in.

Her fence work if she zip zap like a star or unpredictable pattern (not cube or simply line) , it will cause confusion to player on how to suppose to navigate, slow them down since they either has to navigate or disable the pole, create blur vision when shooting, basically creating distraction.

I like the idea of stealing enemy shield. So -10 shield damage to enemy and +10 shield recharge to Wattson and her teams (when her team mate and ultimate is nearby).

 - If there's only fence, only Wattson get recharge.

 - If there's fence and ultimate, all her team mate surrounding the ultimate get recharged.

 - if enemy has no shield, it will knock down instantly.

I think this's make sense since she is a master of quantum mechanic, right?

Her fence isn't meant to be a mechanic that KILLS you - it's meant to mean that if someone crosses the barrier infront of another player : they're dead because they've got the arcstar effect stopping them from aiming effectively.

She is a great character but has to be used well. Not just a win button that people want her to be so there's a "latest meta".

I'm confused here. In what way does it make sense to give a defensive character a high damage spammable tactical? Buffing her is fine but maybe we should wait a bit to see where she stands in a few months? Lastly is there an issue with her as a character or do people just dislike a character that doesn't suit their playstyle? I'm seriously confused here.

ultimate blocking your own nades is pretty annoying.

Agree with @Anlbrd !

The point of Wattson is not to do damage with her fences, they are purely just a deterrent. Her effect on an enemy team is often a very effective psychological one. The other matter of fact is if the enemy is trying to shoot your fences in a push then they're not paying attention to you. Try pushing with Wattson when the enemy are trying to crack a hole in your defences, you can often take them completely by surprise.

here's a game of wattson, i couldnt use her shields out in the open, her passive is useless here and her ult would be useless too. all of her abilities here are useless i mean come on she needs some sort of buff for these types of situations;

ya maybe but there was a team of three just beside the building i was climbing up and they could have flanked me and i might not have been shot climbing the building to help my teammates because of the other team that might have flanked me fighting the sniper team down the road. faced with the proposition of fighting two teams alone or keeping my team alive i chose to try to keep them alive and got shot in the process.

i was squished between two enemy teams and also my team was dying that would have meant i was fighting alone,  it was not good three ways.

if she had a gibraltar shield or bangalor smoke  too i might have made it up the building.

 you never know. this isnt a religious or scientific experience its a game and i think, if i ask maybe, maybe they might say ok, well buff wattson and shell kick * and take names and youll be happy. thats what i hope happens.

Wattson is similiar to Caustic, she is good for defense, not offense. She doesn't offense or escape ability.

In your situation, you set up defense in close area, ask your team mate to crawl there, let them come to your term, until they give up or move on. 

If they kill your team mate, simply wait it out until they move on.

Note:

There's reason people doesn't thrist, they want down enemy as bait so their mate team mate come in a rush, like 911 call, in panic emergency mode and blew up all the strategy out of the window , simply rush in and die easily in the process.
