It’s a shame to be seen as a thrower every time I pick Symmetra, it’s a shame that people think I can’t aim
It’s a shame people don’t even give us the good Symmetra mains a chance to sHINE
btw its very sad to see a “Sym main” rely on her turrets 24/7 like GIRL can u AIM PLS
I feel you , as a sombra main I experienced that until recently.
Thanks to the recent buffs to her primary, hopefully the mentally that she’s an automatic throw pick will go away.
I know how you feel i used to be an old school Hanzo main when he was in f-tier. People stopped calling him a throw pick since he got the rework
Liar, you’re a d.va main. Set your profile to private before posting bait.
They have more hours on Sym than any other character in QP.
They barely have any time played in comp with D.Va being their most played at 40 minutes and 18 minutes on sym.
I think it’s misleading to call them a liar based on such little play time in comp while QP shows they do indeed play sym more than any of their other characters.
OT: Hopefully the buff to her beam helps change player perception around her.
Honestly though clever use of her turrets is like 80% of her gameplay. Even her level 3 beam doesn’t do much in a roster full of escapes/stuns/armor/self healing. Her turrets, however can be difficult for certain heroes to shut down and can almost always net a kill if deployed at opportune moments and against comps that lack certain counters.
Also nobody cares about a Sym that shields herself with full charge. With all the burst damage in this game, she will lose most 1v1s despite charge level. They do care about a shielded turret bomb, which under the right circumstances can delete half of a team if they cannot get to it quickly enough and draw a lot of attention away from a Sym herself.
True, being a Symmetra main is pain BUT It’s worth it for our beautiful Indian goddess
People throwing the second they have an attack torb/symmetra are part of the reason they can’t rank up. I was matched with a symmetra+torbjorn one trick in my masters placement matches, was in a 3 game losing streak and saw them. Worked with their comp and ended up breaking my losing streak and winning even though everyone else might have said its a lost game and gave up.
Me: kills Ana and Zarya alone
Team mate: “Can we report the Sym for being uncooperative and not switching?” as he dives alone onto a widow with a soldier next to her, dies, and the cycle repeates
I know right? No matter what you do there are always those people who will just never get off your back for daring to pick Sym.
Pretty sure this is what the developers and Symmetra’s hate club wanted.
Maybe I’m lucky since I don’t really encounter hostility when I play Sym.
An intelligent Symmetra sister switches when needed
Unfortunately, that’s just the life niche characters lead. I don’t mind them, and don’t condone laying into people that play them, but can also understand where people come from with it.
They still shouldn’t though, let people play what they want lol
i wouldn’t say i main symmetra but i give her a fair amount of playtime, and i think she is doing well. they have given her a lot of attention and i like the changes they have made.
do people really still say that sym can’t aim? lol she needs like the best tracking for m1 and prediction for m2
i guess her 3 turrets?
I heard some user here once said that she is even low skill than mercy like seriously? cant be more obvious of a troll.
New Sym is only effective if you CAN aim. People need to learn this.
Also I never get crap for playing Sym, I can usually wreck with her, But I am also the type to say what is on my mind if someone has an issue with my hero pick.
I know a guy on Discord who thinks that Sym and Moira are the lowest skill characters 
you cant stop the hive mind for thinking you cant aim if you are a symm main,
they will never change.
heck my third most used hero is ana and widow is my sixth.if i cant aim why do i bother with the two most mechanical demanding hero.
