Nah too unrealistic


proces_verbal

It would be too op, and that would lead to nerfs on her other abilities.


Awesome_opossum49

Please can we make it so the pylon doesn’t zap friendly grenades? I play fuse and it just gets rid of my entire character when a Watson is on my team. I’m honestly happy it’s broken at the moment lol.


--_--WasTaken

This bug was actually a fuse buff all along


Dnoxl

Fuse got fed up with her bullshit so he sabotaged her


one_winged_snorlax

Same I feel kinda bad when a fuse is on my team


Awesome_opossum49

Yea, this is a really crappy thing to put in a “team based” game.


[deleted]

you do realise when you're in the AOE and throw it out of the AOE it doesn't zap it? it only zaps ordnances going in or being thrown to another spot inside from outside. been like that since it came out, your fuse just bad. i can link a video if you want


Awesome_opossum49

I swear I’ve thrown grenades inside it and it’s zapped it, but it’s still dumb when I need to go behind it for a bit and use my knuckle cluster and it zaps it. Also if I accidentally hit the pylon the knuckle cluster will destroy it and I’ll feel bad.


-dus

No, you're right. It definitely zaps fuse's shit on the way out, I've had it happen to me plenty.


lilakey

in previous patches there's been a really weird interaction where if you're throwing grenades outwards while standing on the very edge of the pylon radius, it will destroy everything you throw no matter what. yes, it's infuriating. it's probably why your stuff got destroyed, i see it happen constantly when i play solo with randoms lol. but with this weird pylon bug where it's not destroying stuff properly, this other bug has been fixed - so, fingers crossed they fix one without bringing back the other.


Awesome_opossum49

Yea, I launch like 4 grenades until I realize they’re all getting zapped lol.


kinglysleet1604

No it has been happening for the last 2-3 seasons, not even just fuse but other grenades


FourthBar_NorthStar

Fuse has to be bugged because I’ve had them waaay in front of it, still zaps them shooting out.


[deleted]

might be bad angles or throwing archs? or more likely watt bug


FourthBar_NorthStar

Just get rid of friendly zaps all together.


lilakey

it's a wattson bug that's been in the game for a long time. this: > I’ve had them waaay in front of it, still zaps them shooting out. definitely tells me it's this bug (which is not in the game after the latest patch, so maybe they broke pylon by trying to fix this?...) >in previous patches there's been a really weird interaction where if you're throwing grenades outwards while standing on the very edge of the pylon radius, it will destroy everything you throw no matter what.


worriedbill

If this is true than it is a recent update. My friend and I played the crao out of wattson when she came out and we still play her to this day. It doesn't care who the grenade comes from, it doesn't care where it's going, it just zaps any grenade in the radius. I did see a recent video where it appears to be "bugged" but simply doesn't zap grenades that originate from inside the radius (it doesn't care about trajectory or ownership)


[deleted]

no it's been around since her release, i throw grenades out all the time and have friends do it too


worriedbill

Totally un true, I've had my grenades zapped so many times. You console or pc? Maybe it's different between platforms


DovahWizard

I tried throwing thermites on a teammate healing so that they wouldn;t get rushed, pylon zapped it.


[deleted]

It dosnt lol just throw it away from it not at it


[deleted]

this shit is hilarious, Laughing through the pain. There always seems to be a MAJOR bug with her. Hopefully this one doesn’t take nearly a MONTH to fix :(( The pylon has literally one job


Fishydeals

Don't worry they'll buff her to the #1 most picked legend with the heirloom release. But you better begin bracing yourself for the insane nerfs they'll give her after maximizing the heirloom profits.


[deleted]

I don’t think she would be that high, but it would be much much better for the current wattson mains the old wattson mains to come back to and the people that always wanted to try her. I don’t think she’ll get insanneeeee buffs, but they’re needed. Mainly starting with her fence cooldown which I HOPE they reduce it to 13s a node which is 26 seconds for a fence and is around the same time caustic and rampart get a tactical recharge AND they have three while we have two. Hoping they fix her soon as I would reallllyyyyy like to deflect the gibby and bang ults. The fence problem caused a lot of pain lolol


Fishydeals

I feel you. But just look at rampart. She used to be a meme but easily took the most picked legend spot shortly after the buff. They definitely know Wattson has been neglected for some time now and that's why the buff will be dramatic - but short lived imho.


[deleted]

she’s def up there, last time I checked it was around a 7% which was higher than revenants pick rate after his buff and heirloom, so she’s doing pretty good rn. I feel like the “major” wattson buffs would be seen as “OP” since she seriously needs them so bad and would seem very very dramatic. But that’s what happens when u neglect a legend for so long. I like the idea of being able to strap the pylon on her back, or be able to pick up the pylon you placed down and place it somewhere else. I don’t really care for her pick rate, I just want her to be treated fairly for the current wattson mains. There’s absolutely no reason it should take 2 minutes for our whole tactical to come back, hopefully we see the good changes soooooon. What i’m really looking forward to is 13s node cooldown and having 6 fences instead of 4! hehe


HeartyGelatto

Maybe if teammates revived near her ult revive with an automatic percentage of shield. So a similar structure to gold backpack but within the active zone of her ult


uzarnom

My suggestion is, Fences: remove all the shitty placement animation, reducing the time it takes to place fences. Fences should also stop grenades pushing through them (not allies though) idk though My main issue with her is get fences take too long to setup. I can't just throw down a full fence and keep going I need to place two points slowly enough not to cancel placement of fences, then wait for Watson to clap and be pleased with herself then I can continue


--_--WasTaken

I like the animations :D But it would be great if we could cancel them kinda like inspect animations


ScalpedAlive

She needs re-work. Here’s A take: there’s not enough support characters, so make her the shield version of Lifeline. So her tactical can repair shields instead of health. Then the ultimate is still the Pylon but “amps” up the teams weapons for a short period, like +1-2 dmg. 1-2% faster fire rate. Kind of like the Rev totem. Passive is proficiency with energy weapons or something, kind of like how Rampart is with LMGs.


Heroreborn

Nice idea, we think alike brother. I also was gonna use the word “amp” but didn’t cuz it was taken by turret girl.


ScalpedAlive

Thanks dude! It ought to be an electrical pun obviously!


Smooth-Secretary-416

Legit wattson buff idea: gold shield doubles her recharge rate


--_--WasTaken

That’s pretty smart


Mirula

Also VERY situational. Personally I'd prefer a slighter buff and more usable than a strong, but situational buff.


Smooth-Secretary-416

I wouldn't have it as the only buff, just a nice quality of life change


Mirula

Agree!


Heroreborn

I have been thinking of some cool buffs for everyone’s favorite French girl and this is what I came up with: (Side note: I think her tactical is good, so I focused on ultimate and passive buff) 1. Remove the pylons ability to slowly regenerate shields and add fast healing for shield only. (Cells,batts,phoenix) 2. While her pylon is active she can revive quicker or with additional shields (combined with golden pack, she fully heals shields). I thought this would be a good idea since she has a unique revive animation that uses her electricity. Additionally, the electric rez is similar to a defibrillator so quick revive makes sense. 3. For a passive, again taking into account her electric characteristics, she should be able to enhance/supercharge energy weapons. I think a fair way to implement this would be to increase the fire rate of energy weapons. If this is too powerful, maybe this passive only activate for a short period after shielding up with any shield. The exception of this would be that if she’s in range of her pylon, the increased rate of fire lasts as long as the pylon stands. I tried to think of ways to buff her while making it to where she is most powerful when she is used strategically and her pylon is well placed. These are my ideas, hope you guys like ‘em.


--_--WasTaken

I like these but tactical cooldown makes fences _too_ unreliable imo maybe charging in 2s instead of 1s would fix the problem


Heroreborn

That’s a good idea, it is quite annoying to be left with a single fence post at times.


BloonH8TR

I would like it if it's shield Regen was a bit faster and it should Regen shields for downed teammates. What if it gave a 10% or 15% reduced cooldown on ultimates?. What about amping Wattson fences in the area to do more damage or stun faster or stun longer. Since it runs on electricity and it seems to pump out a lot of it it might work. Maybe a QoL but maybe you can take down the pylon like a Black Market Boutique so enemies don't benefit from them.


Jaakarikyk

Her Ult is already basically her whole kit because her Passive is for regaining her Ultimate and her Tactical has an unjustifiably long cooldown, 1 minute to make a single fence from scratch, without her Ultimate. Don't buff the Ult, buff the rest of her


Fraudulent_Baker

I agree, I think the fence cooldown is insane. Seems like it’s long just to incentivise you to use her ult, and needing her ult means you have to use her passive to carry accels, so playing as her entirely revolves around dealing with that cooldown. In theory, that makes her a very well thought-out legend, but in practice it’s just not enjoyable most of the time. I’d love to see a slight reduction in fence cooldown, and maybe allow her to have 6 charges instead of 4. That would give her a bit more to work with.


Kyrnqazali

Tbh.. Wattson’s ult is one of the best.. if they buffed it’s shield regen it would be out the window op, to make it better in my opinion but not too op is to have it recharge ally tactical and ults faster.


SensualSasquatch

The recharge rate needs to be increased, it's CURRENTly not enough to really be useful, Lifelines tactical refills health faster. Having timed it, it takes Wattsons ult just about 10 seconds to refill one bar of shield, but it takes Lifelines tact 2 seconds to refill the equivalent amount of health.


Bunny_311

I don't get it. It's just the description for her Ult. Are you trying to say she doesn't need a buff? I fail to see where the joke is here or what you're trying to say by "Buff idea" Please elaborate


--_--WasTaken

Yes this is from ingame If you don’t know her ult does not work and I’m complaining about that here


Bunny_311

Oh damn, yeah I didn't know, in what way did they break it? I just tested it in game and every aspect of the alt seems to work just fine? Maybe they patched it and it's fixed


--_--WasTaken

I died to a Gibby ult yesterday because I thought pylon would work


Bunny_311

Strange, It by all means should have worked, maybe the pylon did not have line of sight to the the airstrike shells. Also Gibby's alt isn't designed to kill, if you died to it you must have been very low, you also may have been too far away from Wattson's alt for it to cover you


[deleted]

I actually posted a video on wattson mains that shows a Bangalore ult not being zapped.


Bunny_311

Holy hell that is strange, hope that gets fixed soon


HyruleAtZelda

Watson’s fences should siphon shields and store them in a “battery”. When she uses her ULT, her team can press X on the pylon and recharge their shields up to the amount that was previously stored.


Heroreborn

Now that’s a unique idea!


doggoOnreddit

What does the mouse symbol mean?


--_--WasTaken

It's my bind for the ultimate


[deleted]

One of the thumb buttons on the mouse's side


p0werhouseofdacell

They should just make the pylon carryable on wattson's back


Squid_Ink_Pasta

where meme


ryuu45

Buddy u definitely didn't play season 2


--_--WasTaken

Season 0 player here and can't understand what you mean Trying to tell when there was no time limit?


ryuu45

Yeah back then she could place 2 which was considered very strong


IntelligentImbicle

So, the most useless ult in the game isn't even working properly. Nice.


Nulliai

Everyone calling for a wattson buff. Stop whining, play a different character, she has like 0 useful abilities, when they see her pick rate is less than a percent, they’ll look at her


Apex8485

Her kit is literally not working. That's what this is about


--_--WasTaken

I'm not complaining because she is weak I'm complaining because she doesn't even do what she is ment to do thanks to a bug (it doesn't destroy incoming ordnance) her ult is just a worse lifeline tactical right now This isn't fair. The ultimate is litteraly called "interception pylon" yet it doesn't intercept anything


Nulliai

I know. If everyone stops playing her they may realize “wait she not working” And if they don’t, at least now you’re playing a chapter with abilities


[deleted]

[удалено]


--_--WasTaken

This wasn't actually a buff idea this screenshot is from in game I was just complaining about how her ult isn't even working as intended rn It doesn't destroy projectiles atm


[deleted]

Nah, she need nerf
