This. That is the most infuriating part.
I’m one of those weird players that believe her current kit is fine, and at best, need some small tweaks. What is holding Symmetra down is mostly her reputation within the community as a “troll pick”, but every data you have out there will place her in a good position (except by pick rate, which is explained by the reputation). Still, since she was reworked in November 16, she was not even touched once, except by bug fixes, like the self-imploding ultimate and Moira orb bug.
And except by the orb change, everything else is mostly a lateral change than a buff. They are not making her more powerful, they are changing her scope and giving something around the same power level. It’s change for the sake of change.
I know I’ll try the rework in the same way as I approach a brand new hero, because that is all I can see. Symmetra is being deleted, the devs created Hero 28, and saved the art team some work by making Hero 28 inherit all of Symmetra’s art assets. I’m seriously envious of Symmetra players that can feel excited by the change, and are seeing a glance of current Sym in the rework.
