In the patch of 02/07/2023 a new bug was introduced for Symmetra.
When she casts her wall, there is a noticeable delay between the ult animation and when the wall finally appears.
This is horrible, not only visually (the animation of her hands doesn’t correspond anymore to the creation of the wall) but also dangerous as the wall can’t now be used as an immediate form of defense.
Please fix as soon as possible.
You sure that’s not just lag?
This might be their way of “fixing” her being able to shoot while casting Ult.
If nothing else it looks bad, the animation as it was before was very smooth
If this is a fix, it’s really horrible.
Moreover, I think no one ever complained that Symmetra could use her photon projector while casting the wall… please revert this as soon as possible.
No, I’ve discussed this with other Symmetra players and they all experience the same issue. Anyone who enters the practice range can see the same.
Ah. I haven’t played sym in a while so I definitely need to go see this.
~ Sym main
Also Seagull just showed the issue in his stream…
Oh that’s terrible. Needs fixing asap
I really hope so, but considering how the devs love Symmetra, how often she’s played and that they left Hanzo with a bug for months…
Now this is even worse because you can die to an enemy ult, when your wall would have otherwise saved you.
I noticed the same thing; I thought the patch had added a cast time to it and was shocked.
If this is intended, it’s bad. Please fix it.
I’m so glad I stopped being a Sym onetrick. Once I saw the devs remove what made Sym fun during the ow2 launch, I knew she was going to be neglected and screwed over.
Just played her and also thought it was lag.
But then again, this never happened before even when my internet was subpar.
But yeah, then went into practice range with 30 ping and still had the bug
Yea it’s always stealth nerfs with her. Last stealth nerf to her turrets wasn’t even reported as a bug.
Came to post this, you should also post this in the bug reports section, I’ll be sure to post on Twitter as well
This doesn’t even look like a stealth nerf because such a huge delay is just inadmissible.
I think they really messed it up when they wanted to avoid Symmetra to use her weapon while casting the wall as they wrote in the patch notes.
Which leads me to the question: with all the things the devs have to do, was this patch really a priority, considering we have lived with it for years and I have NEVER read a single complaint in years?
Not just delay, because wall animation was delayed for some unknown reason, enemy can kill you before wall appear.
I lost my last game because of this, I was really confused.
That always happened but now it’s just more significant lol.
Can confirm, Sym main here. Its very confusing. And apparently it affects the Photon barrier Highlight intro as well.
