Can we get a #buffsymm movement like #deletebrig?

I know it sounds silly, but blizzard likes to listen to community outcry. We symmains have cried for 3 years please, please just buff her!

especially now, after she has been annihilated!

Put turrets on a 15 second cooldown but all recharge at once
Also have her primary ramp up much quicker

Boom, far better hero as she’d be able to somewhat cope with the tempo of the game.

the issue is that, while this movement would be backed by everyone playing symm and probably not many others, the deletebrig movement is backed by everyone who doesn’t play brigitte, which is the overwhelming majority

(I know I used hyperbole)

She’s fine actually, Sym mains are the last people I would talk to about balancing Sym

Not a Sym Main FeelsGoodMan

It’s almost like you shouldn’t “main” heroes in this game

Especially the niche ones

Symmetra deserves no love

Her stats say otherwise

Sym mains are the last people I would talk to about balancing Sym

Yeah that approach really worked out well with the two reworks didnt it …

It’s almost like you shouldn’t “main” heroes in this game

Considering you’re punished by losing ult charge by switching, u clearly should. Its also known that you can climb rank by onetricking.

I have a buff idea for Sym: h ttps://us.forums.blizzard.com/en/overwatch/t/idea-to-finally-balance-syms-primary-give-sym-a-lightsaber/238296

I’ll gladly join the movement. Sym really needs some help… esspecially as a niche character whose niche was pretty much taken away.

Each turret shouldn’t take longer to charge than hook.

Firmly behind this. Symm is honestly one of the funnest characters to play, would love to see her viable.

My biggest gripes is how long it takes to deploy her teleporter, and how long the cooldowns on her turrets are. Her turrets take too long to recharge for how easy they are to destroy.

The stats will always favor some heroes over others. This is nothing new and unless you are a statistician I’m going to ignore your opinion over the statistics

So, are you a statistician?

Yeah, we no longer have the BS lock-on and no longer have the infinite shield generator!

Praise be to the OW team

Nope. There are many times that sacrificing ultimate charge to change your character is the correct move.

Source please.

Also, are you a statistician?

Yeah, the more powerful ones.

I mean don’t you find it a little strange that Sym has never been favoured during any of OW’s 14 comp seasons?

This is nothing new and unless you are a statistician I’m going to ignore your opinion over the statistics

So, are you a statistician?

I don’t have to be a statistician to argue data; insisting otherwise is an appeal to authority

Yeah, we no longer have the BS lock-on

Yes we do, cf. Moira, Winston

no longer have the infinite shield generator!

You mean the shield gen you couldnt be bothered to destroy?

Nope. There are many times that sacrificing ultimate charge to change your character is the correct move.

The fact that you’re referring to it as a sacrifices just proves the fact that it is a penalty, and encourages not switching

Source please.

The existence of bronze–>GM challenges, the existence of hi rank onetricks (cf Luminum, FTK Computer, Hoshizora).

Also, are you a statistician?

See above

You need to google what appeal to authority means.
I’m asking if you have the credentials to properly analyze the data and come to a logical conclusion.

You do not, clearly, and as such I am justified in dismissing your claim

Done dealing with you. You, like most others, simply double down on your erroneous position unfortunately.
I hope you come to understand the value of listening to people who are properly educated in the topic (statisticians/developers/etc)
(Not me necessarily, while I am a mathematician I am not a statistician despite taking several statistics courses)

Ok. From wikipedia:

“An argument from authority is a form of defeasible argument in which acclaimed authority’s support is used as evidence for an argument’s conclusion”

You are suggesting that because I am not a statistician, I have no authority regarding statistics, therefore my opinion is meaningless.

Rather that debate the message of the data, you would rather discredit the messenger, which also make it ad hominem (again using wikipedia’s own standards).

You do not, clearly, and as such I am justified in dismissing your claim

Translation: “I can’t refute your argument with facts, but I CAN attack your credentials instead so I don’t don’t have to (whilst also not revealing my own credentials)”

Incorrect

Lol, you didn;t even bring any fallacies into it this time, you just flat out said “incorrect” and left it at that with no reasoning XD

I hope you come to understand the value of listening to people who are properly educated in the topic (statisticians/developers/etc)

I hope you come to understand how backwards the idea is that you need to be formally educated in a topic to debate it.

Done dealing with you.

k, bye o/

@Campari

Just because a hero has a small community of people who are good with them, doesnt make them good. Jut like how some people being unable to play Widow in S1 didn’t make her not OP.

To make sym better

Step one
Remove her slow on turrets
Step two
Add 1 more turret
Step 3
Increase time of teleporter by 2 seconds
Step 4
Decrease time of charge
Step 5
Reduce damage of her balls or fire rate
Step 6
Add 50 more shields
Step 7
Rework ultimate into a massive energy boost
Damage from gun increased by 200% and health by 500 for 6 seconds
Step 8
Return shield giving as an extra ability
Step 9
Remove regen on shields and charge

This is the beginning of the end of an informed society
You are, literally, part of the problem.

So you’re just completely ignoring the fact that you were shown to be appealing to authority and engaging in ad hominem?
