WATTSON LOW PRFILE NERF??

Ok I get the pylon nerf and having 2-3 of those in one house is a little overpowered, but why would she get the low profile nerf? Her hitbox can't be much different then mirage and banaglore who both have abilities to get away (Bangalore's smoke and double time, Mirage's Ultimate) and yet they they gave her the low profile nerf? Literally the only way she can get away is by running and it's not like her hitbox was broken or anything. Wattson wasn't even close to being OP now they pretty much nerfed her into the ground and made her unplayable. I have almost 500 kills and 40+ wins with Wattson and this new nerf has made her easily the worst legend by far now. I might as well switch to back to wraith who has the ability to get away and an actual tiny hitbox unlike wattson.

@Leo_the_Lion25 Unless its bugged then dante is in fact correct. I play wattson somewhat regurlarly when not using caustic or doing challenges and last i saw. She can in fact have 2 ultimates in the ground without the first being destroyed... I recently had a building locked down with an ultimate on the first floor and one on the elevated second floor.
Sooo good thing you lack the brain cells to check for yourself and want to talk smack to someone who is in fact correct..

Nope, you can only have one ult. Wait 3 minutes after finding an Ultimate Accelerant. Use it then use the Ultimate Accelerant, pop your ult while looking at the first ultimate you placed. It'll be destroyed.
Now, you can have an enemy ult and or own ult in the same place. Because Wattson's ult will stay where you put it even if the enemy Wattson is dead/eliminated.
I don't even need to record a video. I already checked again for any bugs. It's still only 1 ultimate.

Wattson tip number 4 : You can place up to three ults at a time.

@InfinyMage Dont know how the heck you can be able to place multiple pylons when others cant (including myself playing wattson every day). When I place a second (wich I never do anyways because they dont stack) the first one gets destroyed. You must be having a lucky bug on your client enabling you to use multiple ones wich sounds very unlikely and unrealistic. Try placing 2 and watch carefully if the other one gets deotroyed. If not, I suggest reporting it as a bug since it shouldnt be possible. The amount of pylons out at the same time got reduced to 1 in the Voidwalker event patch.

Hey guys, I've had to clean up this thread so some posts have been removed. It's fine to disagree as long as it's respectfully done, name calling or insults not so much (see forum rules). Please keep that in mind going forward. Thanks.

It’s a stupid, stupid nerf.
First off, just because she was chosen a lot in tournaments doesn’t mean the average person knows how to play her. She’s little chosen because, yes, to play Wattson you have to learn her and think.
Second, you don’t nerf her by giving her a nerf that doesn’t solve the problem. If she’s chosen by smart people for fencing, then you need to Extend the time it takes either her primary or secondary to recover. Not make her low profile.
You can see what happened: she didn’t get used less at top levels, but she’sbe chosen even less by everybody else.
