Imagine a Genji having no dash reset and a 15 second cooldown on his only movement ability… thats what TP is like.
Her turrets take 10 second each, 30 seconds in total, only to tickle and get destroyed by trash damage.
Her hitbox is the size of a house with her head being the size of Hog.
She moves like a turtle without legs, strapped to a brick.
And her primary takes a total of almost 4 seconds of near-perfect tracking up very close to get to full damage.
The only good thing with her is her orbs, but that is literally a hit or miss.
Fix some of these delays and limitations and you won’t need to rework her again.
Lets say that i do understand why i takes her tp 2 seconds to set up for example, but i don’t understand the weird change to it after it became infinite.
Nor do i understand the cooldown on turrets, their very slow deployment time nor their damage nerf.
You can say that it makes her op in low ranks, but then you have Torb who is much stronger then her even without the turrets
Remove turrets all together, I have ADD and they dont help at all, id be fine with having her beam charge 2 seonds faster and decrease her hitbox if they did this.
Save your breath. They simply don’t like the character, or reflect the biases of a group of players they go to for advice. No amount of pleading or cajoling here will make any difference. At best , you might get some traction on Reddit, they take that more seriously. The forum here is for them now a necessary burden, not a proper tool of communication. I think they see the forums as a hold-over from the 90’s and give it little credence as a form of media anymore.
Yes, let’s remove the most distinctive element of her play
Honestly, if you prefer a beam-oriented character you should be playing Zarya.
I’m really tired of you “remove turrets” people. Have you no sense of identity and dignity or the love for the character at all?
Honestly if you don’t like her key element and feature then go play Zarya.
Have you no compassion for those that have a disability? Its crazy that you jump and throw me in with the bunch without even acknowledging the fact that I have a disability that those turrets take full advantage of.
Fix her beam as well. Its damage is inconsistent as hell. 60/120/180 should be 80/120/180 imo. The beam takes too long to charge up and the damage ramping drops faster than my grades. It feels absolutely garbage unless you can charge it off a tank or shield.
With all do respect, dont try the disability card with me. I have disabilities too.
Those turrets have like 0 health and legit don’t even move.
A much bigger danger to you are the enemies running around, the game itself is a chaotic mess, you are fully aware of what you are getting yourself into when you want to play it. Honestly…
tbh, i think buffing her beam is a mistake, thats the thing that got her nerfed in the first place. Her power should be in her utility before everything else…
Don’t take this the wrong way, but again, if you have some form of disability that doesn’t jive with the character… its just the wrong character for you. Compassion isn’t a permission slip though. I mean I have slightly above average reaction time, but I will never be able at my age to develop the control to leverage it in OW - should I be asking for say McCree or Widow to lose part of their kits?
With sufficient damage, you are most certainly correct in my book.
I understand that but currently, she is a damage character. Her only reliable form of damage are her orbs which you’ve mentioned before are literally hit or miss. The beam is unbelievably unreliable and as much as I’d love for other changes to be implemented she definitely needs a change to her beam.
Lol then no wonder she is among the least picked heroes, who wants a dps that cant dps? Her utility is barely an excuse for her being a niche pick, even in her best maps she can be replaced with any other hero for half the effort.
With their obsession with lower TTK (direction I personally disagree with) Sym is like a relic because every single ability of hers has delay. Without barriers she’s easily dead before she can deal any significant damage.
So yeah, I do think she could use some help but am not really expecting it given the treatment she usually gets.
The problem with Sym and her beam is that when she had her lock on beam, it made sense for it needing time to charge up and it made sense for her hitbox to be so big so you can stop her from deleting everyone with the lock on microwave.
However, when the devs gave her the straight beam, they didn’t really bother to consider how hard would it be to do sufficient damage in the first 2 charges, nor did they care to lower the size of her hitbox. She needs to aim now, so its stupid for her head to be the size of a house.
My point being, in order to at least try to balance her better, decreasing the size of her hitbox significantly so she can even manage to do some stuff would do wonders, or increase the width of her beam, or increase the dps on her lvl 1.
it was never confirmed and I am completely and totally opposed to a new rework. I refuse to be experimented on and relearn a hero AGAIN.
But id be happy if her tp was replaced with her old photon barrier, provided that she has her 6 damage turrets back, which she can deploy at any range.
