If you buff the damage of the 3 turrets, you need to reduce the slowing effect. That’s on of the biggest annoyances they bring, especially as a tank player. 4 of them would bring you to a halt, essentially.
Of course she feels like a zarya on high heals. She’s a dps with dps health with a weapon similar to zaryas. There’s no way around that
She is fun to me. And i think she doesnt need a rework.
Nor do I need or want your respect. Or your ideas.
Im all for the lowering of slow if it means better damage
I honestly think, with the utmost respect and consideration, that all you want is a cheesy hero to play, and you think that she should be buffed because you believe that you are superior in intellect to this Genji-main “Fool” who actually knows, understands, and creatively expresses what he is talking about.
Pick and choose what you would like for Symmetra: Respect, fun, and viability, or lack of fun, bullied/abused, and hardly viable Symmetra. You can’t have both in Overwatch.
Nothing you just said has anything to do with being an architect. I mean, you’ve completely removed all building from her kit.
In addition, you’ve literally just turned her into budget Tracer. Blink? Check. SMG? Check. Recall? Check. Grenade as an ult? Check.
With all do respect, I just think that you wanna rework her because you keep flying into turrets like a fly in a spider web.
She is not fun to you, but she is fun to me.
Just like Genji is not fun at all for me, but is fun to you.
Who are you to say what works and doesnt work in a game like overwatch?
We got ninjas, mad scientists, snipers, tanks, angels, demons, wannabe demons, hamsters, monkeys, dwarfs…
The architectural aspect really only comes from her lore, and the ultimate that I suggested could be considered an assembly, if its model were designed as such.
Not only that, her construction (potential lore) of her using hard-light tech in order to manufacture a custom SMG for her, and ammunition, also plays into that idea very well.
Symmetra is hardly a problem for me.
My problem arises from you askinf for ridiculous buffs to a toxin-inducing hero.
You’d probably shoot down the idea of buffing Genji’s base damage, because it would make him too annoying to deal with.
What I am suggesting is constructive, and not detrimental to the hero at all.
One of the reasons people don’t like her is she’s a builder hero. It’s the same with torb and Engineer from TF2. You build things, which do additional damage along with your actual hero. It means there’s more things to shoot and destroy that damage you and distract you from the point and the other team. It becomes very annoying.
And now there are so many things to destroy. Torb turrets, sym turrets, baps immortality frisbee, Mei wall. All of that detracts from the game.
Sure, building hero’s are cool, but to some extent they detract from the game. Adding another turret will just annoy people more, with another thing to destroy. Destroying 6 turrets on old sym was the absolute WORST.
Ridiculous buff? You obviously weren’t playing this game for long, have u?
Genji is literally an ult bot. Buffing his damage would mean you’d need to nerf his ult. When you can regularly get 3-4ks on a ult, that hero needs to have low base damage otherwise they will be overtuned.
Just offering criticism towards you to counter your sym arguments
They had like 1 hp tho.
If she only had a deployable shield and a way to obtain more HP.
Oh wait.
They did. But 6 around an entryway was more than enough to microwave most dps and all supports to death before you could kill them. Plus now you can put them out of reins reach
Sorry but he still has his oneshot combo intact and had nothing but buffs. If you think that Genji being able to ‘‘only’’ kill an entire team with Nanoblade means he is an ‘‘ult bot’’ then oh boy how about you see actual ult/utility bots that suck at actual combat like Sombra or, fittingly, Sym.
My genji point was just to counter someone else saying that “you would just shoot down my idea of buffing genjis damage”. I completely agree with you, genji is fine in combat. Sombra is a much better example of an ult bot
You’re acting as if Symmetra wouldn’t need compensation nerfs with the addition of a fourth turret.
Regardless Sym does need to get TP removed/move to ult and buffs to the rest of her kit because unlike the so called ‘‘ult bot Genji’’, her being a taxi service bot is not a viable role to be balanced around, much less after being moved to the damage role roster.
My first comment on the thread stated that if they buff damage or add a turret they wouldn’t need to reduce the slowing effect.
Didn’t they -just- nerf her turrets?
Yeah because her 2% pickrate was too big and had to be nerfed back into 0.5% lmao
