Can sym orbs finally be made more aimed?

tbh I don’t think that’d make much of a difference. it’d still be gone after like 1 shot anyways.

Well I think it would make a bit more of a difference, I’ll explain why.
If we lower deployment time to 1s to 0.5s and cast time from 0.5s to 0.1s.
That’s an overall reduction of 0.9s. It means if not responded to the turret will get some damage off. if it was destroyed as soon as the old turret would have deployed, that’s 30 damage about. But this isn’t what makes the change super good. It’s mainly the cast time reduction. Because this reduction frees up Symmetra to be dealing damage herself. 40% of a full charged orb or 24 beam dmg (at lowest charge). This just lets turrets be more integral to dueling and provide symmetra time to do what she needs.

@Zephrin-11143

with 1s per shot she still will be a sitting duck for the next second tho :\

Not with a reduced fire-rate I think I meant.

@Zephrin-11143

agreed. like if they want to make her orbs distinguished from the other 2, and if they’re going to put charge time on it, it better be aimable. otherwise it defeats the purpose of putting charge time on the weapon fire in the first place from what I can see. i.e. putting charge time/low firerate encourages the player to take more aim (because less shots —> need to make every shot count), so there the projectiles should be leaning more on being aimed (at the very least, more than currently).

not to mention how charge time/low firerate makes the weapon fire not as good in closer range too (see snipers).

old 3.0 tp was 12cd starting on placement (really important here, with 10s duration.

Thank you, I was starting to think I remembered it wrong.

I mean no kidding, unless u spent u life charging that laser up or poketed by a team mate that thinks “poor sym trying to duel, let me help”, she is the most sh*t at dueling in this f game, EVERIONE ELSE IN THE DPS ROLE CAN KILL FASTER then our girl symmy dear god, and u talking about killing Paharas and Echos what is this?

In actually duel-duelling Sym is pretty strong. I would say she is one of the best in the 1v1 mode due to her powerful orb and regenerative shields.

Can someone put in that laughing Jamison gif from Spiderman for me here? because we got a real joker all up in this bish.

Maybe he only plays against the types of Pharah’s and Echo’s that float low to the ground and stand still so you can hit them with their orb because they’re too busy trying to figure out how the rocket launcher on their arm works, I’m sure those exist in lots of games, right?
