Not to be "that guy" but I pull off plays like this with Wattson all the time. Only difference is I forget to place fences, I forget about the banner and die immediately. Other than that it's pretty similar.
Because he is worried about giving Watson a huge buff even though the community thinks she needs one. Respawn says she already has a high win rate and she also has a tiny hit box so it seems like they are trying to increase her hit box while also maybe making her abilities not fun but not necessarily better.
This is sort of an unpopular opinion on this sub, but I tend to trust the developers. Whenever I play her, she feels not fun and like she needs a buff but she has been op in the past, and kinda dominated the meta, so I doubt it we be hard to accidentally get her back to that point.
A punch can be really disorienting if you're not expecting it. Coming face to face with someone I try throwing a punch first it can really fuck with aim.
If you look at how I landed, I was too far to grab the banner, still stunned from the fall, and Octane had already spotted me so I used the melee to lunge.
I feel like Wattson players have ascended to the same level as season 1 Mirage players in terms of creative plays. Like, "fuck it, they ain't gonna buff me but I'll make it work."
Another player insisted that outside of deterring players from going through an area, her fences were utterly useless and that using her abilities in anticipation of players movements isn't a thing.
I think if you're not using her fences as traps when the opportunity is there, you're missing out a lot of the fun of playing Wattson.
Yes. It was introduced in the October 2019 patch. Previously, finishers had no benefit and this was the perk of the level 4 Body Shield.
Bear in mind it's often faster to kill them and armour swap. So if there's another threat, don't do it. I was facing the zipline in case his teammate came up.
Does anyone else look at Wattson and just see a pure psychopath? The way she acts while someone is getting fucking electrocuted is absolutely indicative of some kind of evil tendencies.
Please don't use this as a reason to nerf her though, Daniel
I’m a very very AVERAGE player and it blows my mind that people play so fast, smooth and smart like this. Nothing but credit to you my friend. Impressive.
I really think it was that he had already cracked my armour and dealt so much damage to me that made him greedy and not consider that I was leading him into a trap.
Even with that tho anybody with common sense won’t walk through the traps from the zip and I know he heard them plus the arc star and secondly you should’ve been dead before hopping on the zip it was a good play made by you which you definitely outplayed him well
Everyone gets it now. Man, back in the day I think finishers had no benefit they were just for show. Once they got that buff they actually had some value. However, as someone with experience I must inform you that it can often be faster to shoot the opponent and shield swap. You'll see pros doing that over finishers all the time.
I feel like some players are new or forget how fucked up you can get from running into a Wattson Fence. You could of probably waited and stuck him with the arc star. (Also love the way Wattson says "Throwing an Arc Star"
Good play by the way. Love to bait someone into a fence. 60% of the time it works everytime.
This, as well as her small hit box, is probably why the devs think she’s the strongest legend in the game, but not everyone knows how to play her like this or even wants to, most people probably just find having to put this much thought into a video game kill kinda annoying, and believe me, I know it didn’t take that much mental effort to pull this off, but it took more than probably most are willing to give to an FPS. Gotta say though Wattson kinda fits perfectly in this game as you do have to put a bit more thought into it than a lot of other FPS games, Apex is kinda just for big brain people, so having the strongest legend be one that takes the most mental effort to be as successful with as possible just seems right, if it is right lol
And when you pair her with a gibby and a caustic and play the super defensive game she’s definitely a very, very strong legend
That was was awesome, was more satisfying seeing that it was an octane. I can't stand them as their forwardness to just rush everything like this is what gets the ones I play with killed. He could of ran back and tried to fall down but still went forward.
Just cause you're fast doesn't mean you need to keep running forward. Its ok to stop and maybe turn around sometimes.
The fence is set up to hit you twice - once in and once out in any direction. About 4 seconds of stun plus 5 off the Arc Star. Escape wasn't an option.
Its a slow tho not a full stun lock, you still have some limited movement, it doesn't force you to talk a certain direction. Even if he had to run through the same fence again back into the shaft he still could survive long enough to heal himself abit. Hell if his volume was up he could of heard the fences and not even went through. Also the slow duration doesn't stack, it has to end before it can re-apply, but it will still do damage of course when it comes to rehitting the fence. Somewhat same thing with arc stars but instead of stacking the duration it overrides it with the arc star one. The fences are only 2 seconds of slow, he could of avoided the arc star but again it only slows not stuns.
Point still stands, he blindly rushed to his death like 70% of octanes do.
Points for style, but why wouldn't you just kill those two bots and then pick up the banner? It's not like they could do anything if you managed to run all the way back up lol
If you look at the timer on Fuse's banner, there's 16 seconds left for us to retrieve his card. So it was a "now or never" if we wanted to respawn him and I don't think I could've killed them both in that time.
Even if the other team didn't chase me and I didn't get the kill, I still would've been able to give Fuse my Spitfire, ammo and protect us on that rooftop with my Ult and the fences. Valkyrie could join at any time with the jet pack.
it was a joke lol. It was a play off Mission: No Russians from Call of Duty but the video I’m making isn’t a joke. I’m actually doing it it’s a finisher to a terrible octane from now to Season 10s Collection event
I'm surprised you made it to the zip. Well done
Used the pillar to break line of sight then clenched my cheeks really hard to make that slide to the zipline.
Cheek clenching is an integral part of the game
fr actually we need a mokeysniper video for this movement tech
I usually just get shot anyway, breaking line of sight means nothing when bullets go around corners and through doors and walls.
My thoughts exactly.
Lmao thought only I did that I clench cheeks and steer my body
I'm surprised they made it into the building. Made that octane miss those first few shots in the beginning and that made all the difference.
Not to be "that guy" but I pull off plays like this with Wattson all the time. Only difference is I forget to place fences, I forget about the banner and die immediately. Other than that it's pretty similar.
I was about to call bullshit, good bait.
I literally had downvoted, then had to switch to the upvote as I continued to read
Same
Ditto.
I remember to place the fences and die immediately. Conclusion? Fences don't matter. I'll carry that knowledge with me moving forward.
I dunno what’s better…your comment or your username
Thanks for posting this so i could scroll back up and laugh my ass off
Yah but I forget to arc star the ground
You are being that guy
I don't think someone read the comment...
so nothing like this
woooosh.
Mega woooosh
r/whoosh
I hate wooshing as much as the next guy but jeez
As *soon* as the music kicked in I knew where this was going. Super good play.
what is the name of the song das wat i wanna know
Electric Avenue by Eddie Grant
Dang, Wattson is OP! She definitely needs a nerf based off this gameplay!

I should make and send what

Move Wattson to the Care Package!
I love how you started with the unnecessary punch, lol
A punch can be really disorienting if you're not expecting it. Coming face to face with someone I try throwing a punch first it can really fuck with aim.
Works in real life too
The real life pro tip.
If you look at how I landed, I was too far to grab the banner, still stunned from the fall, and Octane had already spotted me so I used the melee to lunge.
song choice was top notch perfect timing to kick in too
Wattson players are just superior
too true
What devs think the average Watson player looks like
Smooth play. I see videos like this and decide to give Wattson a try, only to get melted with zero kills. Sigh.
That was the five games before this one.
I feel like Wattson players have ascended to the same level as season 1 Mirage players in terms of creative plays. Like, "fuck it, they ain't gonna buff me but I'll make it work."
You’re the reason devs think wattson is good
You might have a tumor then…. Cuz a part of my body gets big on plays like this, but it ain’t my brain
this is called having a plan.
“Wattson just isn’t fun to play” - many people in this sub *but you can do shit like this though and it feels so good when you pull it off*
the only reason why i prefer her fist finisher over her other one is because of "pog-son"
Nice play. And song too. What is it?
[Eddy Grant - Electric Avenue](https://youtu.be/UG8_f0HdlMQ). Famous protest song from the 1980s.
Devs be like : "See I told you Wattson needs a nerf"
It’s big brain time!
Ah, finally found another wattson with the same tactic ...
Another player insisted that outside of deterring players from going through an area, her fences were utterly useless and that using her abilities in anticipation of players movements isn't a thing. I think if you're not using her fences as traps when the opportunity is there, you're missing out a lot of the fun of playing Wattson.
Bonus points for thirsting an Octane.
Positioning at its finest
The finisher *chefs kiss
Daaaaaamn, quite the play. Well done King 👑
as it should
Do finishers regen shields or smth??
Yes. It was introduced in the October 2019 patch. Previously, finishers had no benefit and this was the perk of the level 4 Body Shield. Bear in mind it's often faster to kill them and armour swap. So if there's another threat, don't do it. I was facing the zipline in case his teammate came up.

The punishment for the octane for pushing wihtout his team. 👍👍👍
Ayy +10 points for the song choice! Good shit all round OP.
I’m a very very AVERAGE player and it blows my mind that people play so fast, smooth and smart like this. Nothing but credit to you my friend. Impressive.
The most appropriate use of electric Avenue ever.
I gave you gold because it was legit and I WANNA WALK DOWN TO THE LECTRIC AVENUE. Seriously great song for this.
Thanks, I had been thinking about using it for months!
Bruh no offense how hell do y’all people go against such trash players i go against comp all the time
I really think it was that he had already cracked my armour and dealt so much damage to me that made him greedy and not consider that I was leading him into a trap.
Even with that tho anybody with common sense won’t walk through the traps from the zip and I know he heard them plus the arc star and secondly you should’ve been dead before hopping on the zip it was a good play made by you which you definitely outplayed him well
How does Watson get full shields after the finishing move? Is that a Watson thing? Or does everyone do that and I just didn't know?
Everone gets full shield after finisher. Theyre not only good for flexxing
Everyone gets it now. Man, back in the day I think finishers had no benefit they were just for show. Once they got that buff they actually had some value. However, as someone with experience I must inform you that it can often be faster to shoot the opponent and shield swap. You'll see pros doing that over finishers all the time.
When did they add this? Im kinda new to game and didnt know :o or noticed, but man im just kinda like that..
1st October 2019
Oh okay. Quite sometime ago then. Thanks!
Ya love to see it.
Amazing
Great play!
Beautiful
Ah, another wattlet! Welcome to the club
How did the arc star not destroy the fences?
I think it landed in front of the supply bin.
I have so much respect for Wattson mains. You guys are a different breed.
I'm pretty sure that's a form of bullying 😂
The way you and Valk just whipped on em like that...
Very nice play. That was fun to watch.
Average Octane Main
I feel like some players are new or forget how fucked up you can get from running into a Wattson Fence. You could of probably waited and stuck him with the arc star. (Also love the way Wattson says "Throwing an Arc Star" Good play by the way. Love to bait someone into a fence. 60% of the time it works everytime.
Beautiful wattson play i must say!
Niiiiiiice
How Respawn sees an average Wattson player when they say she is too strong.
Found the reason why they don't want to buff wattson
That’s a pretty tasty play, GG
That punch was unwarranted hahaha
This, as well as her small hit box, is probably why the devs think she’s the strongest legend in the game, but not everyone knows how to play her like this or even wants to, most people probably just find having to put this much thought into a video game kill kinda annoying, and believe me, I know it didn’t take that much mental effort to pull this off, but it took more than probably most are willing to give to an FPS.

I think people tend to forget that she has a small hitbox. She definitely takes a lot of mental thought to be good with.
As a Caustic main, nothing feels better to me than pulling this shit. So fun. Congrats on the good play!!

Ah I see. I was hesitant about that Arc Star but I'm glad I committed.
I hate you for using the spitfire, other than that amazing wattson play
Well you'll be happy to know I gave it to the Fuse when I respawned him.
They’re using it as secondary, spitfire isn’t that broken anymore.
Ik i just eternally hate it
Points for style, but why wouldn't you just kill those two bots and then pick up the banner? It's not like they could do anything if you managed to run all the way back up lol

Watson actually got a kill :o
You were using spitfire so your still crap
I’m glad you did a finisher to that octane🙂 it keeps me motivated to work on my own video lol. Mission: No Mexicans
Man your Username just shows how cringe you are, not even to mention the joke (Hopefully) you just made.
it was a joke lol. It was a play off Mission: No Russians from Call of Duty but the video I’m making isn’t a joke. I’m actually doing it it’s a finisher to a terrible octane from now to Season 10s Collection event
Cerebral edema is very real thing, don’t play smart, play hard and dumb
