Look we are comparing two weapons here, and I know which would help more.
They picked the worst weapon.
Right and I think an auto aim McCree Revolver would help more but that doesnāt mean it should ever happen.
No. Auto lock is never healthy. Her gun needs a buff, but not an auto lock.
I think a lot players feel the way to improve heroes is by moving back towards FPS fundamentals and away from stuff like pure lock on weapons and random delete a tank scatter arrows.
The problem with Sym is people seem to refuse to play her as the pure utility hero she is in game. If your team isnāt in coms and planning to use her telport to move around the entire team itās pointless to even play her in game.
Clearly this game is moving towards a team needing to play maybe 10-15 of the heroes, or you lose. The other 1/2 of the hero pool are just in the game for unique utility plays or certain stages of certain maps. Yet for some reason the player base in general still hasnāt gotten that message.
Umā¦ you have not compared McCree to Ashe in Short range yet.
You do realize I am talking about an Auto Aim McCree Revolver. Even if Ashe is better you still have to aim.
Overwatch is suppose to have diverse heroes, heroes who do all types of different things, why limit all the heroes to hitscan/projectiles? Thats boring tbh
No, it was definitely weak. Yeah, you could hit 120dps you didnāt have to aim, but you also had to live long enough in a game where everyone hates Sym and will gladly solo ult you just to kill you. This still applies, but Sym is much more slippery now.
Yeah we donāt need to give Sym autolock aim. Iāve enjoyed the current Sym and donāt immediately believe the player on my team playing Sym is throwing. Shes an extremely viable character even if she falls under the ānicheā department.
Shes super powerful and I love her kit. Absolutely no need to give her any sort of changes (especially auto lock on).
Look we are getting off topic, I donāt think people give credit how powerful autolock can really be.
Just look how well Moira is doing compared to Zen.
I do miss lock on. Symmetra does not feel right these days. Always felt that her primary fire never need change for her rework personally

Winston, Moira, Doom (kinda), Mercy, Rein, Brig.
There are plenty of heroes in this game that are very lenient on aim.
Syms major difference from these heroes was a beam that would bend behind you after the enemy was completely off your screen and that is not something that belongs in a multiplayer game.
If blizzard was smart they could have made it like moiras primary but ya know, its blizz

I am sure we could limit the āautonessā if we had too.
But going completely straight is not working.

Looking at her beam (currently) it looks so weird and wrong. That long beam coming from a small gun is an eye sore.

Sorry youāre still off topic this is about Sym not Moira or Zen.
Lock on to the degree Sym had was terrible. You cannot get better when the game literally prevents you from needing to get better.

You donāt think an enormous hitbox on a 180dps weapon is a bad idea? When she can already hit a potential 330 dps far more easily than 2.0 could hit her 300dps?
Although it was a bad lock on, it was unique tbh and now its just a bad rip off of zaryas beam, you can tell how much effort they put into it.

I donāt care how you ātuneā it the only thing you can do is either make it too strong or too weak. There is no balanced auto lock on damage laser you could only imagine.
