The idea behind Symmetra’s Hero Concept
The game needed quite a lot of Support Heroes and likely some Overwatch Heroes along with Starcraft II
The concept for my Symmetra concept was to give more ideas of a unique Support where it might be possible to have a no healer composition.
Her role would be area denial and damage mitigation, as well as peeling for her allies. Her Sentry Turrets can deter an area and slow enemies, her shield can be empowered or talented.
Her Teleporter is more of a two way door that helps with pushes and objectives, Photon Barrier on the other hand is suppose to block skillshots and attack damages, but it might be hard to do in development, likely buggy too but I added it to the idea anyway.
Feel free to leave a feedback.
