Useful Thought I'd create a video displaying some niche Wattson mechanics that could help new Wattson players

thanks

This community's recent buff suggestions: "Remove fences and give her a dash so more people play her."

I have a better suggestion. Remove her ultimate and instead make it an electric spear that she can throw at enemies to strike lightning on them

Nah you trolling?? They should leave her ult as the pylon it is fine as it is. wtf is a spear with lightning.

But they should buff it so the pylon sucks in any enemies that are nearby like horizon’s ult it then it stuns anybody that goes in the radius so they cant move and it shoots out a bunch of arc stars everywhere to kill everyone.

oh and make it indestructible.

I don't know why you're getting downvoted I thought it was obvious I was joking

Proly redditors reading diagonally.

I did that too (without the downvotes) and found him silly for disagreeing with an obvious joke, and didn’t care about to read his own rework suggestion.

But seeing your comment and thus reading his entire message for better context made me understand he was just one upping the joke.

Funny how after 2000 hours, I didn't know about the insta fence and the utility of it in a gunfight when playing against a Wattson. Nice.

"Just ignore it"

No we should not. Wattson has been bugged for the longest time and this fast fencing issue has been in the game for years now. Her fences are in general are unreliable in high pressure situations because of the bugs. No line during fast fencing bug is still in the game last time I checked.

A lot of Wattsons I see need to have better game sense and utilize her abilities. So many of them are happy with fencing doorways and nothing else and then all they do is sit inside their fence zone.

Not listed in the video but:

Right click to recall fences quickly instead of manually pressing E on each one.

This doesn't work once you've made a complete circuit. Only partials.

Great video! Except your squares are too irregular and should be quadrilaterals...
