Fix Wanda, please!

[Starving George]

Wanda is both extremely overpowered and hopelessly frustrating. I love her design but there are flaws I wish to be undone.

Frustrating Part - Ageless Watch: has an uninterruptable slow channel which means it literally roots you in place for 1.5-2 sec, heals for 8 hp which effectively is 20 hp, only 20 hp, healing is not instantaneous but continuous and neutralized by any damage, meaning if you are cold, hot, on fire or starving it wont heal you at all, has a cooldown of 2 mins, meanwhile you lose 1 hp every 40 sec meaning you effectively heal for 5 hp every use with 1 ageless watch, in addition 1 watch takes an entire slot of inventory which could be filled with 20 healing items or foods in other survivors each of those could heal for twice as much as ageless watch with no drawbacks, faster use time and ability to interrupt its channel to dodge.
Overpowered Part - Alarming Clock: from one extreme to another, this is the single most powerful weapon in the game, having an extended range and the highest damage output, unbreakable, infinite, with the possibility to dispense even more damage depending on Wanda's age, dealing devastating 150 damage per attack by old Wanda... This is way too much, it makes all other weapons in the game utterly obsolete and worthless by a long shot.

Possible Solutions - Just delete or simply nerf alarming clock and fasten the use time of ageless watch or\and make so its channel can be interrupted or\and have its healing instantaneous or\and make so its healing cant be neutralized by damage.

Conclusion - Whatever you do, just do something about these two, I urge you. Thank you.

Ageless watches stack, that is WANDAs downside, she can only heal with an inventory full of clocks.. and honestly that’s the best way to play as her. Age rewind clocks, clocks to literally rewind players who died’s death, clocks to set up her very own teleportation network of tunnels.

If you want more healing you have to deal with an inventory full of healing clocks.. and I think that’s a fair tradeoff considering all the other overpowered crap Wanda can do.

That is her perk, that's what makes her unique and actually challenging to play. The aging mechanics differentiates her from Maxwell's glass cannon play style.

They nerfed her 1.75x damage modifier with planar damage mechanics, and they changed the stun lock mechanics too, I don't think it needs more nerf.

I think Wolfgang would need some nerf instead because he's just plainly strong, 2x damage Wilson with little notable downside. He's rather boring tbh.

Wanda does not require nerfs, she's one of the better designed characters.

I have died more times on wanda than all other characters combined, and I mostly play random.

You can reverse ageless watch logic.

if you get damaged when ageless watch activate = waste ageless watch >> yes

but if you get damage an activate ageless watch = damage gone

for example , eat 1 raw monster meat (+8 age) + use ageless watch (-8 age) the result should be 0 right ?

but if you eat and instantly use the watch , you will get around -4 or -5 age.
