I miss the Q&A, no one asked about Sym Healer Rework

Link to another topic covering it: OW2 Balance Team new Q&A for any other questions go there.

But really did no one remember Geoff still hasn’t said what’s going on with Sym Healer rework yet.

He said about 5 months ago that he was going to be trying to get Sym as a Support again.

Then silence. (Nothing since…)

Arg… Would have totally asked if I wasn’t having the worst week.

TBH she is getting a rework, but I am not sure it is for healer. They might keep her a DPS, or not. Last Q&A they mentioned that they might try support again.

I would like to know what is planned for a Sym rework in general. Also maybe someone did ask, but no one answered. Which tends to happen a lot.

hate to be the bearer of bad news but…

GEOFF - This is something we’ve been experimenting with, and talking a lot about. No hero has moved roles yet though, but we’ve started testing Doomfist as a tank (as previously mentioned)

if its happening (and as ive said before - i really doubt it)…it still hasnt been worked on

Geoff tends to be a bit confusing. Yet from what I gathered they might test Sym support to see if it will work or not.

Np, hope your day gets better.

Sorry to hear about your week but on your question everything from the prior QA implied this was a post OW2 “maybe they will try and see if it works” idea so I would be surprised to see it in OW2 launch.

I hope it means they havn’t decided yet and are still testing different directions with her.

Now I’m just imagining Sym with a puppy emote.

oh if you want to be optimistic about it…that statement (much like his previous statements) is not by any means a confirmation they arent doing it…but just going by word choice now and then…im just really doubtful that its something they will do…it sounds like something thats really low on priority list

5v5 and a lot of the other passive changes and more is going to make her less a Dps more then ever.

I hope they didn’t just give up because “she’s fine right now on live”.

Maybe Andy can check for us….

Welp going to enjoy this :poultry_leg: peace out.:v:

Well, if nobody asked. Maybe Symm players should get better at asking and proposing ideas.

Rather than just passive aggressiveness.

GF you know I would have but I almost was still in shock from the night before. (Plus had no idea the QA was happening.)

There were questions about Sym.

Show me 5 Symm posts this month, with low attention span focused formatting (I.e. Written like a resume), posted on their own discussion post, with changes that looks like patch notes, along with a brief description of the problems she facing, and how each change will help resolve those problems.

I kinda doubt those exist.

Anything less than that isn’t enough.
