That may be op when you consider how that would synergize with some characters. Imagine Tracer, Orisa, and Mercy with this.
Unpopular opinion: Sym was always a DPS in the wrong category. I played her with 2 other healers and got all the gold medals. Iām glad theyāre not making her heal, Iāve asked my friends and they all agree with me.

Love this post. Symmetra is so broken and I really hope blizzard fixes her for real this time.
Considering Tracerās nerf that wouldnāt really be an issue. Also, would this be an instant activate where it takes a 100 cooldown ability and makes it immediately go to 80/100, or would this be an ability that makes all cooldowns recharge faster by 20% for say, 4 seconds? (Really think this is a great idea!!)
These are honestly some of the best suggestions Iāve seen so far! Plz blizzard give this a look

Thanks.
Given current Tracer nerf to Pulse Bomb, that alone is huge because it pretty much removes the usual āoh, Tracer can deal with Sym ult by herselfā strategy. Iām really sad the rework is already in progress, and I fear it will not be cancelled when that nerf alone makes Sym much more viable (Tracer still need more nerfs).
Letās just see what the devs have in table for us, and hope it will more akin to D.va trade-off than Mercy butchering.
The idea is to make it an impactful ult. It doesnāt have to have a huuuge radius like shield gen, really considering how many heroes can flank and destroy a Sym ult easily these days having that kind of an ult up for at least 30 seconds could be a game changer and not that OP
Im still holding onto hope they remake her turrets into ādronesā that hover around a target (limited 1 per player, no discoballs allowed) similar to zenās orb of harmony or discord.

Great idea have felt the same way too!!
So if Sym is becoming a defense hero and they are in fact boosting her overall damage capability, what iād like to see is an ability to program sentry targeting to either focus 1 hero (Increased range, overall more damage, but diminishing effect stacked) or to focus the closest heroes to each sentry (Far shorter range, more indivisual damage)

Iām just curious if I can deploy them like a grenade? Increasing distance and decreasing deployment time would be awesome. Iād like a combo like orb+melee+turret+beam.
just anything to switch targets, id like.
Cause i get so annoyed when i get a six stack turrets up and going, the enemy team walses in, and the reinās shield get targeted and i cant do crap but wait for em to be destroyed while orbing <.<
likeā¦ SWITCH TARGETS YOU BADLY PROGRAMMED METAL SCRAPS WHO PROGRAMMā¦ ohh right āi didā
Iām assuming that they didnāt implement that turrets targets champs only and only hits barriers if they are in the way yet? I havenāt noticed really because rein is in most my matches.
I concur, whether sheāll be in whatever category, just as long as she can provide something that other heroes cannot, something that can make people say āswap of x for a Symā.
If we can get that NOW, then Iāll be happy to gravitate towards playing her in comp.
If they have, its buggy as hell. So il assume it aint working.
Apparently, the devs have started to look into making Symmetra into a healer.
all sym mains in unison
Noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

Agreed, though Iāll admit this is partially due to me wanting to see another healer

Hey! Iām a Symmetra/Orisa main and I say, āIām okay with this as long as itās not her main thing, like Brigette, and no healing turretsā.
On the surface, I like the idea. This would doubtless require a Mercy-class nigh-reinvention of the character, but I doubt such an action would produce nearly the hue and cry.
