Put this on my tombstone. Seriously nothing. She’s a tragedy, a mishmash of things leftover from support days and things that sort of worked in her dps peak. Just burn it down, burn it all down. It brings me pain to see her like this. Unplug the machine, just end it already. I just… I just can’t anymore…
This is it - they fixed (mostly) Torb’s speed issues but refuse to fix Sym for some reason, its a clear, clear bias. I do not expect it to ever change, and I love Sym’s kit and play her some, but after the relentless nerfs during double barrier, they are just letting her rot.
What CAN IT DO. for the gazillionth time. Echo is coming out and she can do 158 dps with body shots, just using primary. Symmetra has to wait several seconds before she can do that and has no supllementary damage abilities. Why wont people get this I can’t take this anymore it’s like a bad ride. ALL DPS DO MORE BASE DAMAGE WITH BODY SHOTS THAT SYMMETRA CAN WITH A LVL 2 BEAM, MOST CAN OUTDAMAGE HER LVL 3 BEAM WITH BODYSHOTS.
Sym is the only hero in the game who has 0 reactionary abilities.
The ONLY one.
I’m no Sym main, but I think if the charge-up was removed entirely from her secondary fire, that would go a long ways. Just give it an equivalent fire-rate.
So seeing with all of the replies here, I can see that time is the biggest issue.
What I want to see on the comments now are the answers for the questions I’m giving you guys.
What if her beam charge was removed?
Should TP start on activation?
Should her Wall be buffed?
Would bringing shield gen as an alt ultimate be viable?
Should turrets slow targets more but deal less damage?
Should beaming down shields also slowly recover her shield health?
Should Sym have a Pizza delivery skin for anniversity?
Should Sym have a golden glove?
Of all the things you asked it is a slap in the face you never asked if she needed a golden glove.
I am a terrible person. Forgive me. Of course, I main Doomfist, so I guess to you guys I can’t be forgiven for anything.
I’ve forgiven you, because you’re very polite and well meaning.
Thank you. I am honored. In all seriousness thou, I can’t believe I used to ask for a Sym glove last year and forgot about it.
I forgive. I don’t forget.
Its a beam with a 15m range… how far again does Echo’s primary fire?
Syms beam is 12 meters, Echos primary, not sure, it’s a projectile… does it even have fall off damage?
EDIT: IF you are asking about Echos beam attack that melts people it’s 20 meters range
Sorry, its late, I do Zarya too, you are correct, its 12m, not 15m. My point is comparing a 12m beam vs. Echo’s primary is insane to begin with, Echo has it a ton easier. Let’s not even touch on the question of Echo’s beam…
All right. I think I got enough research from a lot of Symmetra players. I’ll make another thread suggesting what a Doomfist main has to say on Symmetra buffs (for free views because you don’t hear that very often do you?). Thank you everyone, and I’ll see you guys shortly.
I talked to these fantastic Symmetra players about how/why Symmetra is currently too weak and I agree that she is underperforming as a DPS. The main problem I see is that she takes too long in order to become a sufficient pick against other heroes. So, as a Doomfist main, I will advocate for Symmetra buff ideas that I’d like to see implemented on the Experimental mode. Symmetra Base shields increased from 100 to 150 (now 100 health/150 shield) New Passive: Shield Bender Damaging any sort o…
