It is not truly clear why.
Does anyone else find it sus 
, that they repeatedly nuke Sym.
Then buff and fix everyone else ?
When was the last time you saw an Awesome Sym Highlight?
I say this out of concern, because I donât think Devs are aware with themselves on Sym.
And I do hope for better. 
Agree or Disagree?
Just limit sentry bombs down to 1x sentry, and start her teleporter on a 5sec cooldown at the start of the round, and it should be pretty easy to buff her.
I pulled this off in gold, still gives me serotonin
just extend her beam, dont care whats gonna happen with her turrets and teleporter, make her primary feel good to use
If only it was that easy.
Honestly I donât know what the Devs really⌠really want with Sym.
So suggesting buffs on our end is pointless.
But should be clear, Sym needs buffs.
But it really is that easy.
The Sentry Bombs are holding her back at Low ELO , similar to how Bastion couldnât get buffs.
And the â5sec of advantage at the start of the roundâ is holding her back at the OWL level.
I mean with a pocket and only
1 junkrat that turned around iâll believe it
Will say ana wouldâve died in any rank lul
They never really tried?
Like the issue with bastion was clear, Sentry form is too good in low ranks, in high ranks itâs his only âgoodâ move but is still pretty bad
They shouldâve made sentry much much worse but also quicker to change from/to, but make recon significantly better
Instead we just got some ocassional sentry buffs lul
She just got buffs. Theyâre enough to make her good again in her small niche. But as Sty keeps saying, she seems to be having an identity crisis and doesnât really fit in.
Sym mains can keep playing her, but I donât see why anybody else would want to when thereâs so many better options
âIt only works randomly at high ELO, or at Low ELO. Maybe sometimes itâs strong at very specific objectives on a mapâ.
Sure sounds a lot like OW1 Bastion.
More âtaxiâ, less DPS⌠isnât a buff.
More famine and âmaybeâ feast.
(Encourages Feeding more likely)
(If teammates were not already throwing because of Sym pick)
No infinite TP means less taxi out of spawn and forcing the bad Sym players to actually use her TP as a personal mobility tool.
the orb damage nerf is okay considering they move 2x faster now. Yes thereâs less kick, but youâre landing a lot more orbs than you wouldâve before the buffs.
Though maybe 90 is a tad too small, 100 would be better
I said OW2 for a reason man.
Sym plays different.
Stevo has some games on his youtube channel of eating it up as the new sym. sadly I only got to play a few games with the midcycle patch though 
Giving her a couple of meters doesnt fix anything. That is still Zarya range, with 1/4 of her survivability and a bad charge up mechanic. While using her other damage sources basically drops your beam to level 2.
If you want to make her beam good to use, fix her lack of survivability and remove the awful level 1 beam damage.
Stevo himself being a t500 player doesnt fix the issues Sym has. Like, it doesnt fix that the hero is mediocre to weak for the 99.9% of the playerbase.
Bastion didnt stop being a bad, poorly designed hero in clear need of a rework just because someone in t500 onetricked him up there.
I agree with you. Jester was saying he hasnât seen any awesome highlights on new Sym and I was pointing him to Stevoâs vids
Idk what people do not understand by now.
Sym is not a likeable hero⌠Never was. More people hate her than like her.
Her design went through numerous changes and never felt satisfying for everyone.
Blizz has not many resources to put into a hero like sym when pretty much no one cares or does anyone hear a pro player complaining he cannot play sym anymore?
When symm as a hero had a fanbase behind her like mercy blizz would spend more time⌠But for blizz its way easier to let her live in the rubbish league and spending their resources on popular heroes or new ones.
Honestly the Sym highlight was more of an off topic thing that my sister pushed when Sis helped me write this topic yesterday over the phone.
(Work been rough this week in 100 degree weather.)
Yeah I donât get why they keep coming back to Sym and leave other bad heroes to rot.
After 2 reworks they should have focused on reworking other heroes and come back to Sym after some time. But no, they keep coming back to Sym. The favoritism for Sym is blatant as the prejudice for the others.
itâs all due to her potential damage even though she has more than clear weaknesses , a full stacked sym with level 3 beam is stronger than any hero in game barring possibly a sniper but theyâre very aim intensive while sym and her turrets arenât plus sym herself is a good counter to snipers because of her ult
all in all she feels weak because getting her into those circumstances is really really hard so if devs were to buff her they would hardly increase anything without compensation nerfs as we saw during beta 2
sheâs the ramp up hero, sheâs always been and for game design this means that her baseline must be weak, until they decide to relieve her of this archetype, sheâll remain weak at lvl 1 with no turrets and particularly broken at lvl 3 with 3 turrets
