Okay I’ll admit, there are somethings that need fixing in her new kit (like a longer ult or reducing primary fire damage while increasing range by a bit) but overall. New Sym isn’t to be bad. Most people haven’t played her in a competitive environment, where she will truly shine. She’s designed around openings and I like that. But saying the beam is “too OP” is like saying that Brigitte needs her self heal nerfed(reference to a stupid old Post of mine). It definitely needs some tweaking, but getting melted by it is most likely your fault, your tanks fault, or simply not killing her before she gets full charge. Sym is VERY easy to shutdown, but not paying attention to her is a death wish. Also, stop walking into the balls. I’m looking at you widow and mercy players. Stop that. Get behind a shield.
yeah, shes a glass canon
they may decrease it but honestly snipers still wreck her hard now.
so she has her ult to counter them.
Thank you. Somebody gets it.
My only issue with her is how clunky her primary fire is.
The range feels shorter than pre-rework and it takes quite a bit to charge up, you’ll usually end up dying before you hit full charge.
Have to agree. They should either buff the range or fix the animation of it.
let alone that shes much more easy to shut down as brig omg
diving her still works and sym doesnt have a self heal/armor/a stun/a boop/a personal 600hp shield with no cd to save her from her mistakes.
this may sound rude but i hope new sym hard counters brig.
she has had it way too easy for too long
Oh she does. You should see the stuff I’ve done to Brigs.
So you think she’ll be 2 or 3 weeks on ptr?
yAAAAAAAS SLAY QUEEN
3 nost likely. For balance.
The new sym is going to have to pray the enemy team is barrier heavy when they chose her because that looks like the only way to actually charge the beam up without getting instagibbed.
Have you tried alt fire?
I just can’t WAIT to see all the teleporter shenanigans. Choke points might very well become obsolete with attack Sym!
Also placing a REALLY cheeky teleporter and immediately using her ult to shield entrance/exit, allowing her whole team to suddenly be 25 meters away… I want to see some pro Sym play now!
I can’t wait either, but like I said, she creates openings and keeps them open. Her new ult is a bit lackluster I must say.
Give her more range and ammo! Why did they make it 70? I dont get it
What if the enemy didnt have an orisa or rein just zarya which is popular she cant charge on it, its super fast and zarya can instagib her before she can even damaged her.
The ammo concern doesnt make sense to me but the range does. Her range is just a little too short and feels wrong.
Ammo is low, but it recharges (and powers up) on shields, so if you play into a Rein or Brig, ammo won’t be an issue ever.
Yes it is, it works and looks exactly like zarya, its not even thick at all, they said its fairly thick but its not.
Zarya has 16 m while this mini lacklustrr zarya wannabe is being instagibbed and pharah stills destroys her. She is not a support anymore for frog sake
Also keep in mind that Alt fire is very fast and is very powerful. It’s the ultimate poke tool. And does a lot of damage.
I didn’t see any way to tell how much charge I had at any point in time, other than the look of the beam. Scaremaster did you find any options to toggle it, or maybe some other indicator? Or will it just be “getting a feel for it”? I wish Sym had Zarya’s indicator so I could tell when I am about to level up/down and play accordingly.
