After countless rumors and plenty of speculation, Respawn Entertainment confirmed that the next Apex Legends Collection Event will be called Genesis and will signal the return of Kings\u2019 Canyon. On top of the returning map and new cosmetics, the battle royale will also go through some changes, with a whole host of weapons being balanced, as well as a handful of legend changes. Amongst the announced changes is a meme buff for Wattson that will allow her to place down more Nessie toys. While some fans found it funny, not everyone did, and they quickly expressed their dismay at the lack of real change. Some fans labeled the change as a \u201ctroll\u201d and \u201cinsult\u201d from Respawn themselves, given that they recently said that the legend wouldn\u2019t be buffed anytime soon. However, it wasn\u2019t long before the Apex Legends developers responded and confirmed they\u2019re exploring making some changes to Wattson, but it\u2019s a tricky tightrope to walk. \u201cYeah, we\u2019re working on stuff,\u201d said Respawn\u2019s Daniel Klein. \u201cNo ETA because it\u2019s still very exploratory, but goals would be to make it more in the moment fun and powerful to play Wattson while removing some of the invisible power (because as I keep saying, Wattson does sport VERY high win rates).\u201d Comment byu\/paradoxally from discussion inapexlegends The \u2018invisible power\u2019 that Wattson has, as Respawn have described before, relates to how her abilities make you alter your gameplay. If you see a fence place down and you change your route, the Wattson has impacted you without actually dealing damage. It\u2019s a difficult tightrope for Respawn to walk, but Wattson mains will be hoping they figure out some real changes sooner rather than later.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Apex Legends devs exploring Wattson changes after \u201ctroll\u201d Nessie buff Respawn\/EARespawn Entertainment have revealed that they\u2019re looking into some real changes for Wattson after fans complained about a \u201ctroll\u201d buff coming in the Genesis Collection Event update.
