Why nerf wattson

I just wished she could throw her tactical nodes a certain distance in front of her.

This would allow her to quickly set up fences.

Every other Defense legend can throw both their tactical and ultimate.

Only Wattson can't do either.

It slows her gameplay down and as a legend without fortify it kind of feels wrong...

I'd gladly accept a nerf to how many nodes she can have active from 12 to 10 or even 8 if she could just quickly set up defenses by throwing her nodes out in front of her.

I don't mean Revenant Tactical distance, just slightly more then Caustic tactical distance for example.

Your fence has a little distance it can be set up and I've never found any real use to throw her ult.

This Wattson upgrade you can argue isn't a nerf, some people think its some sort of buff (which it's not, really).  But the point is reworking one of the least used characters in the game, instead of helping that character (like Crypto, who needs even more help) makes no sense at all based on what else is being done with this rework.  I watched the dev notes, they really don't make that much sense.  It's sort of like a random spray and pray now with what gets nerfed and buffed.  And the worst part is an already difficult to play, team play character like Wattson will probably be even used less.

Meanwhile, you know, everyone wants more characters who don't have to work as a team at all and can run and gun and turn this game into CoD.  Maybe we should get rid of all the characters but Wraith, Pathfinder and Octane, right?  And then lets give each just zero cooldowns.  Throw them in a map the size of one small building and we're good to go :P
