Un-nerf Wattsons damage intake. Unnecessary.
After playing with other legends, it's fairly obvious that Wattson should not have received the 5% damage increase. Her hotbox is nowhere near Lifelines, Octanes, Wraith or even the broken one Pathfi...

@DarthValtrex Highly agree on this. That 95% keeps the business going. Trickle down economics is proven not to work irl. And the same applies to the digital world. Quit catering to these people that spread the so called gospel of Apex. They win money as their career entails. But spend very little in the grand scheme of things compared to the vast majority.
@ColdHours One big thing I've noticed in almost all games I've played. Certain guns, certain characters always become favored because they have strong points.
That leads to people complaining it should be nerfed and the weak stuff should be buffed. After the nerfing and buffing other characters and guns become the favorites.
Certain instances certain things should be buffed or nerfed. I think the one argument they could make in favor of nerfing Wattson was that in normal/non-ranked pro players would have a huge advantage.

On the double ultimate that could be placed one would see. But I'm strictly speaking of the low profile nerf. Her hit box was at a happy medium. No need to punish that with a damage increase. Her frame is no less than that of Bloodhounds or Mirage. The punishment was placed to curb that of "pro" players from using her. It did nothing for the actual community.
These types of nerfs really shine on the title especially when it's plagued with connective issues. These are not LANs were playing on. But dysfunctional servers. Wraiths debuff has counters. Portals and immunity. Lifeline counters with heals. Octane with speed. Wattson?...Barricades? That can easily be taken out. The difference pales in comparison. Her movements are not fluent and slightly less than clunky. One is forced to pocket themselves in hopes that they do not get pressed and overran. The damage increase was a bad decision and overall impacted game play. This is why the decision of reversal on the issue should be considered.
I just find the wattson debuff counter productive to her "class type". I'm not saying by any means she should receive the fortified passive but low profile was a bit of a drastic move as she's the only "defensive" legend that takes a extra incoming damage rather than negating it.
That being said she's still a strong legend regardless of the fact that she's taken a few debuffs.
@MandatoryIDtag I agree. She still has her strengths. And she doesn't need to be fortified as the hit box is not that of Gibralter or Caustic. But for the role of a defense character, to knick the health was a bad call. Wattson needs to stay healthy. One could only hope that down the line this will change.
