Wattson is the strongest legend in the game and the only reason more people don't play her is because of the hyper-aggressive meta we are currently in.

Discussion

Before anybody bitches at me, this is strictly my opinion and I am not asking for her to be nerfed, I just want to highlight how strong I think she is. Am I also biased because nobody walks into more Wattson fences than me? Yes. In my opinion however, she is the most annoying legend to fight.

Everything about her is strong, if you get hit by a fence you are just dead, you take 35 damage, get stun-locked, and slowed. She can also fence off doors and if you try to kick it down its the same effects as walking into a fence, that's already more utility/nades you have to waste just to get a door open.

She also has the best utility denial of any character. She can fence off wraith and alter portals, put a pylon down on a wraith portal to close it, and all projectiles just get zapped. A list of things her pylon blocks, all nades, ash tac, gibby ult, bang ult, caustic ult, ballistic tac, horizon ult, conduit ult, catalyst tac, maggie ult, sparrow tac, and valk tac. Theres probably even more I'm missing but she hard counters pretty much every ability.

This isn't to say she doesn't have any counters though, maggie drill and fuse ult are still super strong against a Wattson team since they stick to the wall and can't get zapped by the pylon. She also benefits from her one true hard counter, drone guy, just never getting played. A drone guy EMP breaks every fence and pylon that she places, while still dealing the 50 shield and stunning you. It's just that nobody ever plays drone guy so a Wattson team never has to worry about that.
