You give her a Tank Ultimate when she’s a Damage hero. Her turrets still suck. Teleporter is the only redeemable thing from her kit, but she’s an incredibly niche pick because of that. She’s forced to play at melee range with 200 HP. Her orbs are slow and easily avoidable. To play her optimally, you have to commit to a strat that requires every single one of your CDs and is potentially a huge throw.
Why can’t Symmetra just be like other DPS? Why does she need to charge up? Why does she need to have all of these gimmicks? Just make her good already. No more niche tactics, no more awful gimmicks, just make her good. Whether she’s reworked into a Healer or not, please just make her good.
I’m tired of my favorite hero being treated like a joke character. She was a throw pick back then and she’s a throw pick now.
Successful rework my @$$. She’s easily in the best state she’s ever been in, but she’s still trash. What does that tell you?
Or you could change the niche heroes in ways that allows them to be played in any scenario like every other DPS in the game.
I don’t see why anyone’s favorite hero should be restricted to very specific scenarios. Most people don’t have this problem because heroes like Genji, Ashe, Widow, Tracer etc. can be played on every single map. That isn’t fair.
How to you change sym into that without maker her into either a completely new hero or into a copy of another one. This game doesn’t support onetricking so if a hero is strong on certain points that’s a good thing
Why do we have heroes that are allowed to be played everywhere then
So some heroes can only be played for 3 maps and others can be instalocked everywhere ?
Because some heroes are generalists. But some heroes like widow and Ashe who should be more specialised are op so they’re played everywhere. It should be that specialised heroes are best at what they’re best at and general heroes should be okay everywhere
I’d add that Sym 3.0 can be balanced, buff her orbs speed so she can decently deal damage mid range then she’ll be good.
Would she be fun ? That’s on you to decide but she’d be balanced imo.
If they get rid of everything that made her a builder she’ll lose what made her who she is. People want Sym to be viable not another hero that looks like Sym that is viable.
Heroes that are decent at everything at best will never be viable.
Soldier is a good example.
Every hero should be situational to some degree and be played depending on the map.
It should be done while keeping situational heroes from being played everywhere (Hi Widow Ashe).
