TO make DPS sym actually work, she needs a better well thought out rework… and for that i would much rather have her return as a support, where she originally was, with healing capabilities.
As of how to fix her.
LMB – Issue, way too short. 15m to 20m required. Especially since she has NO Defense and the ability takes time to hit its potential. Both Zyra and Echoe’s beam are far superior and has huge range on them. No reason not to give to sym.
abilities - -remove sentries and teleporter. Give her Defensive abilities, self sustain, and or more offensive abilities. She is a dps now, please keep her support out.
RMB: Dmg increase was never needed. the orb needs faster charge speed or remove that delay completely. Second, travel speed should have been buffed, stay way too slow of a projectile.
Ultimate: shoudl be move into an ability or removed completely. You know like give us back her original ability that was stolen for sigma…hmmm
Give her a dps ultimate.
Done.
But honestly, this requires more work. the work amount needed similar to the creation of a complete new hero because this isnt what she is meant to be. Does not even fit her lore as well.
