Pretty much, yes. Bubbles are better than turrets and teleporter, Grav is usually better than the wall.
Imagine if Sym had everything Zarya has instead of her current kit, and Zarya didn’t exist, except Sym has 200 HP instead. Sym would be nerfed HARD.
Hell no! I can’t charge my beam on shields…always forgetting and trying that (i play Zarya only in mystery heroes)
haha if sym had zarya’s range she’d probly be a beast
I’m truly sorry to hear that you think this is the extent of what it can do.
This is like asking “Is Soldier better than Orisa?” just because you think his gun is similar to hers. They’re completely different heroes with completely different abilities, roles, and strengths.
You mean our papershields which a somehow capable team can burst in under a few seconds will stop such a strong hero, especially when she’s fully charged?
The game is not 1 vs 6 my friend.
Zarya is indeed better than Sym. If you could pick between the two people would pick Zarya literally 100% of the time.
She does too much damage. And it’s weird that she has the higher base damage AND longer beam. Why does the tank have easier more consistent damage than the DPS hero?
Hello?
not saying sym’s kit is better or anything but 1 key point of contention tho:
Not really. Sym has turrets, a teleporter & a giant wall ultimate. The only thing they share is a beam
Same. Old 2.0 Sym was about avoiding damage by jumping and crouching around an enemy. Sym as she is now is a poor man’s Zarya.
That’s really poor idea of her kit if you think like that. The wall is a really strong if not boring ult
Moira fade?
Sombra Translocate?
Reaper wraith form?
Tracer Recall?
I meant to add to another teammate
Isn’t Sym…a bad Blizzard experiment? She should go back to support role
Zarya is just a better hero period.
Also
Daily reminder that Symmetra still sucks.
Symmetra is really strong against bad players, because little turrets do more damage than bad players and are hard to aim at (for bad players). They just can’t buff Symmetra without making life hell for bad players.
Zarya needs to aim to do anything and needs to gain charge to spam well. This is why bad players can deal with other bad players playing Zarya.
What exactly stops you from avoiding damage by jumping and crouching? The only difference now is that you have to aim with a pretty thick stick instead of a lock on. Basically now she has to do the same things most other heroes do.
Because Zarya’s damage is dependent on the enemy feeding her 
Her charge is not depended on enemies being bad - that’s an old myth. Otherwise, how do OWL and top500 Zarya’s get charge? They should get 0 charge.
Things like AOE damage, projectiles, reaction time, mandatory focusing of bubbles, etc. It’s not enemies “feeding” her.
Yeah definitely the Pros should just get good and not feed them ult charge. All the HITSCAN gods like Carpe and Ana should simply git gud. How does Zarya pros like Decay play Zarya if just don’t feed her charge. How does he always have 100 charge.
