State Of Defensive Legends

With Wattsons' abilities being showcased, the state of defensive characters is just very odd. Neither Gibraltar nor Caustic have abilities that can contribute to their team the way Wattsons' does-no...

@Mestento I've started maining gib as of late and find him a good defender . Being able to bubble when u get jumped and getting a little breathing room has saved me and my buddies * more then a few times . Also his ult has 1) knocked a threat down or 2)pushed an attack off long enuf to heal up and fight back more then enuf times for me to start maining him . I enjoy sniping with the longbow and his shield passive gives me the edge as well as the passive shield can eat a kraber shot for free . I agree that wattson looks interesting but u need time to set up . In a situation where you get jumped gib has a quicker response time .

@userHARDLUCK I'll give you that, his shield does allow you to delay a fight in some scenarios and his ult in an open area is pretty strong-making a team have to back up at least.
But he sticks out so much with his size and colors, you need the shields to even stand a chance when every team on the map is aiming at you lol.
And as far as set up goes, it looks more worth it to set up on Wattson than it does with Caustic also.

I feel like gib has the fastest set up time. Caustic only needs to throw a few traps or his ult (I'll give u the fact his gas blinds his team , making him a bad pick ) . Wattson has to set one point then the other for the fences ... making her the slowest to set up . Gib might be big but having a 10% damn reduction plus a extra 75 dam shield makes him a pain .
After maining him and using the bubble to force fights on my terms feels pretty strong as well as being able to use it to straight up stop a fight at range for 15 secs. All while his ult can be aggressive or defensive as well . This makes his kit pretty diverse. He can turtle up or press an attack on the fly . Wattson has to either set up and wait or set up and try to force the fight into that area .

    No just making a point for defensive legends . Wattson is interesting and will shake the game up for the better . But with what looks like a slower set up compared to gib and caustic . I dont see her straight up out shining gib ... as stated caustic screws up his team as well at the enemy making him the weakest pick .
