"That work won't be a buff though it'll likely need to include a nerf so we can ship it without warping the game."

"So obviously we've got work scheduled on, but no ETA yet," Klein tweeted. However, it sounds like Respawn wants to go a little bit further in the future. Respawn tried to amend this in Season 8's Chaos Theory event, introducing a new "selfish" passive ability for Wattson that allows her to recharge her shields outside of combat. So it can feel like she's a weak link despite actually being a dominant force, and for folks who like joining their teammates on pushing on fights and getting lots of kills, playing as Wattson can feel not as fun. In comparison to the other legends in the game, this means Wattson can be seen as a selfless legend who's only there to help her team win, not rack up kills. She is the game's only pure defender, with abilities entirely geared towards bunkering down and letting an enemy squad waste their resources before finishing them off. Wattson, Crypto, and Rampart excel at using their abilities to prepare for the fight to come, not jumping into the fray like the other 14 characters.Ĭrypto and Rampart break the mold a little bit with their offensive ultimate abilities, which can be used in the midst of a fight to deal damage. Wattson fits into Apex Legends' meta in a similar capacity to Crypto and Rampart, in that her abilities are geared towards preparation, not reaction.
