Apex Legends players share buff ideas to \u201cfix\u201d Wattson in Season 11 Respawn EntertainmentA host of Apex Legends players have floated their buff concepts for electrifying character Wattson, as the Static Defender continues to prompt discussion in Season 10: Emergence. Despite Respawn\u2019s long-term insistence of Wattson\u2019s viability in Apex Legends, players remain less than convinced. Mains of the Static Defender in particular have been critical of Respawn for failing to buff her meaningfully, arguing she is falling behind a number of the game\u2019s characters. That has not changed into Season 10, with plenty of the game\u2019s community viewing Wattson as one of the most ineffectual legends. Naturally, then, players have been floating their ideas of how Respawn can buff her. The discussion was prompted by Redditor \u2018Medium-Natural-638\u2018, who asked how players would \u2018fix\u2019 Wattson. Suggestions varied, but one popular response was to reduce the visibility of her fences, making them easier for unsuspecting enemies to walk into. Ch4osTh3ory said: \u201cMaybe decrease the ability to see her fence as much, I can count on one hand how many times I\u2019ve ran into her fence.\u201d Another common idea was to allow Wattson to place her fences from a much further distance, meaning she\u2019d be more comparable to Caustic. lemmebrowsebro said: \u201cOne thing I don\u2019t see suggested often is the range, I\u2019d love to see Watson being able to place fences from a farther distance which would help a lot making her viable and comparable to Caustic. And obviously the cooldown is one of the biggest problems so a much reduced cooldown.\u201d The latter suggestion of a reduced cooldown \u2013 essentially meaning she\u2019d be able to place them far more frequently \u2013 was also a very popular idea. Another common idea, rather unsurprisingly, was to simply give her more fences. It\u2019s not clear how Respawn will look to buff Wattson \u2013 if they look to buff her at all. They have stressed time and time again how much data is taken into account when considering buffs and nerfs, so fan opinion alone may not be enough to force changes through. Her pick rate is undeniably poor though, sitting at 1.5% according to apexlegendsstatus. That\u2019s the joint worst in the game, alongside Crypto. Perhaps we\u2019ll see them both strengthened when Season 11 drops in November.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
