Pretty much. The funny part is that the flying deploy sentries were a player idea for 2.0 that was shoved after into the 3.0 kit.

she is so clunky without the ability to telebomb and teleweave.
beta tested her, 1 trick her all during the pre july 2018 rework (sym 3.0).
2000+ hours, 20+ k/d etc. worked with stevoo in her redesign. still have something like 8 1trick sym accounts with all the skins/guns still in circulation.
definitely fewer actions per second and FPS skill scaling on her 2.0 carwash version.
some things are fun for the moment, but not something you’d want to go back to permanently, unless ur slow.
id rather have 2.0 and provide the 50k mit per game

sym 2.0 is a lot of fun, and arguably “bigger brain”, more macro dependent, in many ways. as is much of 6v6. she fits in nicely there.
but 3.0 is where it’s at for individual agency, high apm, more decisions/sec and more mindgames/bait with cancels and pre juke into bait the cancel juke. a lot more tempo control and weaving through micro-mechanics.
to each their own i guess. been maining her since day1. i prefer 3.0 because i can carry more in 4v4 tdm, 5v5, and open modes.
i do miss the old maps for tp scaling. a lot of 3.0 tp locations are patched out because it wasn’t “fair” to console players.
noticed a few og shield gen locations not working in current 2.0 sym 6v6

Playing invisible woman in rivals has really made me salty that sym. 2.0s shield concept was completely removed for a much less interesting ult. Her turrets steal feel meh but they could’ve given her a little bit of healing and made her a really cool shield support.

I with you on liking sym 3 versus her older versions. Its still fun, but it feels even slower than she already is.
Good. Turning her into a generic hanzo-lite attached to a broken team TP is what made her a worse hero.
Absolutely not. 3.0 depends on her team to have any impact worth picking her. If you want a poke-ish flanker then you can literally pick any hero made for that, but Sym is an inferior DPS with a broken TP attached to her that she cant even get most of its value without begging her team for a strat most people dont even want to do.
Meanwhile, Sym 2.0’s impact doesnt require your team to pick and work around team TP. You have actually good match-ups against some other DPS, instead of 3.0’s none. Shield Gen is always active and works towards her own survivability.
Not every hero needs to have high apm. Its a worthless, idiotic metric to throw around in a game where hero gameplay diversity is key.
Lower apm heroes where each individual decision is more impactful needed for OW’s existence. Turning everyone into Genji/Tracer is dumb.

if you saw your mit hitting 50k plus per game you would see why 2.0 is the goat
1.0 was getting 10k for 25 shields, and 75 easier to put on friendly
Sym 1.0 was bugged in the last OWC. Her mitigation stat was counting ALL the damage that a hero with her shield hp was getting instead of just the shield hp amounts.
So a hero with 225 hp (200hp + 25 sym shield) losing 224 hp was counting 224 instead of 25. That means you were getting between 4-6 times more stat than you were actually mitigating.
That flying projected shield is so weird! Like what?! 
Then theres that stationary base crystal thingy. What even is that?! 
As far as I’m concerned, Sym 2.0 is the best version. Sym 3.0 just sucks. I don’t know how they reworked the hero three times and made her worse each time.
Ugh, I’m almost tempted to reinstall the game so I can play the fun version of this hero.
