My point is you don’t want to rework someone into a Support, instead they should just add a new one.
Yet they reworked her into yet another damage character instead of adding another one.

How dare u
We already have Zenyatta with his abs of steel, how could you even consider asking for more?

She was never a support to begin with regardless of what she was categorized as, they didnt change an existing support into something else, they gave her a more appropriate role categorization.

She had a shield, she should’ve been made a Tank TBH. DPS was the easy way out and they still messed it up.
In the early days “Support” didn’t necessarily mean “Healer”. At the time they still thought there were other ways to support your team besides healing, but it didn’t pan out that way in the meta. They didn’t just change her label, they gave her a significant redesign into the Defense role.

Perhaps, still not a support.
Some concept of Zenyatta had him with 8 buff arms. Not his holographic arms, physical metal arms, pumping irons. He had to skip leg day to get those octopus gains.

It will probably be sym.
ML7 said more than once on stream that he’d be happy if they reworked her back to being a support.

So this creator rework COULD make her a Support.
The Mei Tank idea is good, but it was done super poorly in a previous experimental.
50/50, will it suck, won’t it suck.

Same idea, mei is not a tank, sym is not a support.

But they COULD be.
And should, DPS is an overcompensated role.

And soldier COULD be a tank. Mercy COULD be a dps.
Doesnt make it a good idea.

Mei has Tanking abilities with Ice Wall and Cryo-freeze.
Symmetra was a Support (whether or not she played like one) and her Teleporter (if balanced properly ffs) could be a very good Supportive tool.
The CoD one-tricks would cry and whinge if Soldier: 76 got reworked into a Support. Id like to see a Support skill tree in the PvE.
Battle Mercy is a viable strategy for when you can’t pocket your team any harder. Mercy’s staff is getting turned into a rocket launcher in the PvE.

Mei has defense hero abilities, which are the opposite of tanks.
Sym was never a support, never played like a support, doesnt need to arbitrarily be turned into a support with the limited roles.
All these support sym ideas, make a new hero with them.

And leave Symmetra to go and die in her pitiful corner?
You do know what a rework is, right?
Take a character that is something (bad) and make them into something else (also bad but funny).
Plus Mei and Doomfist have to become Tanks because they would either lose all CC in Overwatch 2, or be exceptions to the rules the devs literally just made…looks at calendar…a long f’ing time ago.

Turn that tank mei idea into a new hero, leave mei alone.
Mcree has a stun, make him a tank too?
Meanwhile gut Mei of all of her CC, so she can be a niche and useless character.
You could at least make her a niche and useless character with a short queue time.

Mei isnt useless, she is underutilized, same with sym.

So, rework them into something useful…
