The title is pretty self explanatory but it seems for the past week or so everyone has been discussing why sym is doing so bad right now and the possibility of moving her back to support, she has amazing potential for a shield based support and with echo being a DPS, which bothered many people, we could have the best of both world where we get a new DPS with echo and then a newish support with sym. I hope the developers at least comment their thoughts on this subject and consider making a support kit on experimental so we can voice our opinions on the possibility based on something concrete rather than our imagination, I think she’d fit right back in with the supports and with a shield mechanic she’d be unique enough to stand out compared to the other 7 supports.
sym is on the title, devs wont care. its clear at this point lol
sym will never be anything else than a tp bot. thats the place the devs want her to be.
the hero whose playerbase is constantly made fun of, called slurs, on so on
remember when the whole playerbase made a movement just to actually ban all sym players?
yeah
the overwatch community doesnt like sym, neither do the devs
period
She started life as Support, it didn’t suit her, so she was moved to DPS. First hero to be re-categorized if I remember.
Ya she’s the first and only but after her very brief run at being viable it’s clear that the devs don’t know what they want her to be, and since the primary issue the first time was that she was the only support that couldn’t heal, giving her healing mechanics along with shields would give her a defined spot in the support line up
Spitting so much truth in such a short post.
They are still trying too actually.
The thing with Sym having healing is that they tried to give her it but decided it would not work for her.
Personally I feel tank would be better for her at this point. Which won’t surprise me if they actually rework her into one.
I really don’t see that happening since her hit box is so slender so it wouldn’t fit a tank role. I think giving her back her overheal shield ability with healing with like 4 charges on a 3 second cooldown with 50 HPS and 25 shield overheal would fit her with healing turrets and shield generator back, plus if any DPS is most likely to be reworked into a tank it’s probably bastion
