New Symmetra look!

Love it. Can’t wait to see the pve stuff.

Also hyped for the foxgirl and junker queen!

I was kinda hoping Sym would lose her visor-thingy in OW2, but besides that, she looks great!
In OW1 her Holi skin is one of my favourites especially due to the removal of the headpiece

It helps her silhouette. Otherwise she would look as ordinary as any other character. Design wise, that ain’t good.

Oh I don’t mind it. It sorta reminds me of like superhero pieces. Love the Henna style stuff on her arms though and her Sari mixed look with the vishkar tech <3.

I mean, if they can make an epic skin without it, then that argument kinda falls flat.

I just feel it clashes a bit with the rest of her outfit.
Don’t get me wrong, I don’t mind it, I just prefer her without :slight_smile:

She looks so good Blizz didn’t disappoint. I love that it looks a little like a traditional Indian outfit

It just reminds me of her laser powers/guns and vishkar stuff. Which I don’t mind. As some of her dragon skins make her look like a Tiefling.

Pve stuff is next year.

Oh they showed some pve stuff in the trailer. I meant I would like to see more of it probably coming on the 16th. The pve live stuff is still a ways to go. I know.

Gonna disagree since Character Design will back up my claims.

It’s the reason why you can identity a character. As an example, how would you identity Solid Snake from a line up of other Military Grunts if their silhouettes were only visible?

It’s a principle of Character Design.

I dig her new look, but I’ll probably continue wearing her Dragon/Hydra Skins because they’re my favorite. I wish that I owned the Holi Skin.

Looks like she’s keeping her holy wall in OW2. Sym 3.5?

And yet: making brand new highlight intros, what shall we do with Symmetra, specifically working on animations for this particular character, for a new game with a cool new look?

Give her one with her weapon in it, as her players have been asking for for YEARS?
Nope, flip around with hardlight stuff like all her existing ones.

I love her doing hardlight stuff so I don’t mind it. I also don’t play comp and dont even have golden guns. So for me its not so important. I do enjoy her using her dancing and hardlight though as her lore says she uses hardlight powerfully with dancing movements.

Although I can see them adding something with her gun, maybe like a setting up the carwash thing. Or maybe like an orb light show sort of thing.

She has SIX highlight intros and they’re ALL her wibbling around with nondescript hardlight, unlike pretty much every other hero, take Sigma: one for Grasp, one for Rock, one for Ult.
Not ONE of Symmetra’s shows off her abilities or weapon, this new one I suppose does actually show her ult barrier which is… small progress?

I dont see issues with myself. As the hardlight is part of her lore. I love it. She’s an architect and you see new dances and stuff. New structures. The art which I adore for her.

I don’t mind it myself. Because I live seeing what Symmetra can do.

Her kit is limited to what she can do in lore, such as making cities of hardlight.

Her gunplay is nice, but I don’t really see much problems with her highlight intros. I use them all and they are quite good imo.

That new one shows her using her ult which is nice, and you get some views of her gold henna tattoos which is awesome on her new skin.

I hope the new skins get some decent color varieties to choose from.

I saw a certain AndyB in Seagull’s chat say something about “Lightning Sym”…

Care to comment sir? :eyes:

Lightning would be interesting. As she is a laser hero. Which is plasma really I believe in many ways. At least lightning is plasma. The hardlight maybe a form of safe plasma? Hardlight making cities and structures probsbly get explained more.

Although I can see Symmetra having lightning abilities for pve. Close to hard light. Maybe hard lightning instead of orbs?

And yet they still don’t show off her photon projector gun lol
