It is already miserable tanking in this stun/Hanzo meta. Lets throw another thing in to melt barriers.

She was considered a troll pick before. Constant toxicity towards symmetra mains was always a thing in every single game. Shes now reliable and can be useful. Shes easier to kill now because she doesnt have photon barrier as an ability anymore. And the only reason you should be complaining about her melting her barrier is if your entire team cant aim, incredibly stupid, or just not there. There isnt a real reason to be complaining about her melting her barrier if she cant get up to it because she just got melted by the enemy soldier or junkrat or any other dps hero. Or if the two Reinhardts go up face to face with their barriers then sure i guess.

Ima just say this now. You guys experience this for one month and you cry and scream, sym mains and torb mains experience toxicity and levels of unfun to the same degree of not worse for TEN SEASONS
And then you have the gall to try and throw the new sym under the bus because your problem is worse despite the fact that sym has been worse then tanks for ten seasons

As with the old Hanzo, that issue comes from the community, not the character.
I’ve lost to attack Syms in the past as have I won with them… Just because a majority of the community thought Sym is a trollpick (all listen to your streamer/GM overlords and what happens in OWL is what shall happen on live), doesn’t mean she wasn’t viable… She totally was, just like old Hanzo.
It’s just that most people gave up before even giving a Sym or Hanzo a chance… I’m not saying troll Symmetra’s didn’t exist or that bad Hanzo’s weren’t a thing… But were they viable? Yes.

This rework is a mistake imo. it really shouldn’t go live.
The symmetra players doesn’t like it and it seems incredibly broken for everyone else.

First people complain there’s too many barriers in this game. Finally we have someone who excels at taking those down, and now people complain the barriers go down too fast. MAKE UP YOUR GD MIND!

There will always be exceptions but the symmetra threads popping up it seems like most aren’t satisfied with the changes (including me as someone who has played symmetra in the past).
I guess you will have fun with a deathball coming behind your back all the time then.
Sym will do 180 dps if she’s within 10m of your barrier and has had four seconds to fully charge up.
(Edit this is wrong she would do 195)
Many other characters do comparable damage per second at a longer range without charge up time and some do even more dps.

A flex player who loves variety has the less issues.
I was perfectly fine during dive even, because I could actually see more than 6 heroes picked and viable.
No that’s just a vocal minority big difference there have been plenty of posts about loving the new Symm but they don’t gain as much traction cause the people that don’t like it don’t pile on as much as they do when its a post about how much they hate the new Symm
She is viable. But every game i try to play with her i get a “symmetra please switch” “symmetra your bad” and constant throwers and leavers when the game didnt even start?
Where?
if the ppl really like it they won’t miss the chance to share it in every of the other threads against it.

Go look i have said in multiple * You deleted Symm im sueing you blizz that’s Sanjay not Symm my parents never loved me… * posts that the new Symm is amazing powerful and useful just cause a vocal minority have their panties in a bunch doesn’t mean the majority of Symm mains hate the changes only way to know would be a poll
if you have, then good but that is still not the majority of the symmetra mains.

And you think the 5 Symm mains on the forums that keep throwing a hissy fit about how bad they think the new Symm is speak for the entire Symm community as a whole? i am not the majority they are not the majority there is no way to know the majority without a poll

The majority of the pro-rework Sym mains are probably in hiding because so many of the anti-rework people would flip out saying “REEE! YOU MUST HAVE SUCKED AT HER! SHE WAS FINE! THIS IS SANJAY! YOU NEVER WERE A TRUE SYM MAIN! YOU’RE JUST CATERING TO THE DPS MAINS! ALL BLIZZARD CARES ABOUT IS MONEY!”.
The vast majority of anti-rework Sym players on these forums are completely delusional sentient piles of salt that will swear up and down that making Sym more active and skill-rewarding is “killing” her. This rework will be good for Sym and the game in general.

I do find it funny how the Heroes viability rights posters can back things like Junkrats double mine, Sombra not having a 2 seconds CD for getting her hack interupted, Hanzo’s Storm Arrow nonsense etc etc etc, but a tank main cant possibly complain about 75% of their kit being nullified in 3-5 seconds.
Also, never once did I say her beam, which will be bad enough. If you took the time to touch her on the PTR, her exploding balls which will not stop and dps the barrier, are now spam-able as well. So, lets add more to the spam meta.
I have no issue with heroes being viable, but with the power creep in this game going on with DPS and support heroes, tanks are getting left in the dirt with absolutely no changes
