Just wanted to get this off my chest: I don’t like the idea of Symmetra becoming a healer.
I know she started off as a ‘‘support’’, but the thing she was most known for as a support was creating teleporters and applying shields to teammates. (Also, microwaving enemies with her noodle beam and turrets)
But the idea of turning Symmetra into a healer kinda… troubles me.
I’m just afraid they’ll turn her into a healbot, with healing turrets.
I’m also worried about the idea of her becoming ‘‘helpless’’ and dependant on teammates to cover her, much like Mercy and (to an extent) Zenyatta.
One thing i’ve always liked about Symmetra is how she could, somewhat, stand her own ground; aided only by her turrets and armed with her projector, she could still beat quite a few heroes in a 1v1 match-up, granted she had been given the time to set-up.
I just fear that if she were turned into a healer, her independance would be stripped away and she would have to rely on teammates more than she already does.
With that said, if she were to become a ‘‘support’’ once again, i do hope she can regain her ability to grant shields to her team, in some way.
