…Or whatever the name of that thing is on his back that deploys his ultimate. If you buy his golden weapon, that thing gets gilded as well.
Sigma’s barrier edges, in addition to his little balls and gloves (and nails) also get gilded.
Neither of these things do any damage or healing on their own. Neither of them need to be gold as both Baptiste and Sigma already have their main weapons turned gold, and already look gaudy enough without the aforementioned ‘‘weapons’’ being gold.
And yet, somehow, Symmetra has not gotten a gold prosthetic arm/glove, even though people have been requesting it for years. Her arm, objectively speaking, is also much more core to Symmetra than the scouter-thing is to Baptiste, or the barrier to Sigma.
Think about it. Both Baptiste and Sigma use the aforementioned additionally gilded tools only for one ability each. Baptiste uses the scouter…deploy…thingy only, AND ONLY for his amplification matrix. Sigma uses his barrier only for… well… barrier-ing.
Meanwhile, Symmetra uses her prosthetic arm/glove for pretty much everything she does aside from primary and secondary firing.
Deploy her ultimate? She uses her arm/glove.
Deploy her teleporter? Once again, she uses her arm/glove.
She even uses her arm/glove to create turrets, melee and even reload her weapon. Perhaps it may not seem like a weapon, but it definitely is a ‘‘tool’’ that is, in the very least, on par with Baptiste’s scouter and Sigma’s barrier in terms of importance. She uses it almost just as much, if not more, than her actual weapon.
But this isn’t the only reason people have been asking for a golden Symmetra arm/glove however. Symmetra also lacks both victory poses and highlight intros that display her weapon.
Winston and Mei lack victory poses with weapons as well, however, they make up for it by having highlight intros featuring their weapon. In addition, Winston’s weapon is at least twice the size of Symmetra’s, and Mei’s weapon, unlike Symmetra’s, does not disappear momentarily whenever she uses her ultimate or her ice-wall.
Honestly, the entire arm/glove doesn’t even need to be turned gold. It could just be her hand, possibly up to her elbow that turns gold, like Echo. Hell, it could even just be her hand, and it would satisfy everyone.
TL;DR Give Symmetra hand of midas
P.S. Bastion’s tank cannon doesn’t turn gold if you own his golden weapon. Just thought i’d include that here.
