Support characters are only fun when your teammates are descent.

Wattson has the highest win rate in final circle vs any other legend (including caustic) and its not even close.
The problem(s) are:
1) Movement characters are better for solo queue. Cant depend on randoms
2) Support characters are only fun with cooperative teammates.

One thing he forgot to say is final circles used to be way more predictable so teams would predict the final zone and set up with Watson and win. Now it's less predictable

Movement abilities took the skill out of escaping and executing.

[bontentengu]

I agree, it's almost a requirement to have a movement ability for a Legend to be good. Give love to the supports!!!

[mistertwister]

It's so sad how few Watson's you see

[MrqzKing]

Wattson main here 2800 kills 183 wins. Her fences should appear faster once placed.

[eundaehee]

U can also do movement wattson and use her fence to kill ppl with the new way of using her fence

Its multiple reasons.
1. Ranked is measured by teamplacement more than kills. So evading fights/vision tends to give more than making fights "harder" for enemies.
2. Almost all mobile champions have purely positive abilities, while immobile ones usually have 0 sum abilities such as lifelines healing enemies drone, caustics/bangs teamblinding smoke, watsons shield charging ult(not sure if still a thing).
3. Ratting is far easier if your not glowing (crypto on his drone), making tons of noise (wattsons fence), or a massive (Gibby).
4. Getting shields and kills are based on damage. Fuse grenade adds 3 or 4 wattson fences worth of damage on demand. His ult also zones people like her fence. Just more on demand.
5. Counter play is added to certain champions based on their actual abilities and others on theoretical usages. For example octanes bounce pad can be shot, however it almost never can be killed before octane gets his usage out of it. This means he has both counterplays, but actually only really has one. His enemies also get access to it. But again if I jump at enemies, how do they use it? Then there is wattson, giant glowing loud fence, easily shot, her passive doesn't exist, her ult is an anti-air abilitiy but like, so are buildings so half of its usage is replacable by rampart/gib/newcastle etc and the other half is replacable by a roof. So really a slow shield charge is what she offers(assuming she still does) and its also to her enemies (it also breaks ally gnades/ults). She has to many counters. She offers her enemies almost as much as her own team, and if she is solo, everything she offers can be used by an enemy squad. Imagine being pushed out of your own base and having an enemy caustic abuse the wall+poison combo. Sure you can break your own, but why? Its doing exactly the same regardless.

It's true, the older legends didn't all have movement capability. Every new legend in the past several seasons has some kind of movement ability.

[jacobrommel]

Wattson main here. You can definitely solo with her. She’s a very powerful legend once you know how to use her fences. They hold down a building & you can use them in the open to block off areas. Trust me she’s still very underrated. Either that or I’m just used to her shout out to Lamic

[avgdeity]

I love lamic so much he inspired me to play wattson even though i dont have that insane movement because i dont have a pc i think i can get somewhat near that after like 1 year of playing just wattson everyday that i can

[ePotaito]

THANK YOU SIR! This needed to be put out, I used to play Wattson from the times she came out until the time I took a year long break in like season 7. However since coming back and releasing the game, I’ve picked her back up as my main and have been having those popping off moments.

[speedysgaminganddrawingcha]

"she used to be very dominant"

[scrs]

I think of playing wattson is like playing too legends at once you can turn a fight in your favour with the right fences and can make that 3v1 winnable

[TheBst]

Became a wattson player recently. And oh man. Having no movement sucks sometimes. But I became a wattson main because she fun. So no movement is ok for me.

Justice for the baguettes we gotta stay strong

[andrewkutches]

Wattson win rate is heavily weighted via percentage of actual users.
Example, fewer users = heavier weighted.
Translation= higher profit characters justify more attention. Buffs & demand.
Wattson isn't profitable for EA, most low pick rate characters will also fall behind.

Used to run lobbies with Wattson in S2. She’s always gonna be ma main squeeze!
