Symmetra has been played in OWL

Did the whole team have to be on ice block to follow teleport? Or does the teleport drop down after the ice block breaks?

I like this clip, but I think the Hunters did it better, taking both point A and B on Hanamura with her.

First time I’ve enjoyed playing sym on ladder. She plays like a dps now. High risk but intense damage potential. Can’t rely solely on constructs for kills - they’re more supplementary. I guess that doesn’t fit well with a lot of players expectations though and I do feel bad for people expecting that. But I think Blizzard has been pretty clear about the direction they’re taking her character ever since they removed auto look.

I’d still like them to give her lower tp CD.

All that intense damage potential is wasted and charging enemy support ultimates because she is piss poor at finishing kills. Pointing and spamming m1 will only get you so far because she is very fragile to enemy counterfire in her optimal range. Charging on shields is pointless if people can just avoid your range and kill you with longer ranged weapons.

If you needed a short ranged hero to skirmish with, there are far better options like mei and reaper. Reaper kills shields faster anyway and doesn’t need them as a crutch, has a real dps ulti and can apparently teleport ohko a random zenyatta in the backline, something symmetra can no longer do and self-heals with 250hp pool. And mei is just an ice devil who makes everyone miserable. Can’t forget doom who’s straight up overpowered ohko machine. Symmetra’s best feature was the turretbombs and teleport flanks so she could finish kills like enemy supports quickly with less risks, but those have been scrapped now in favour of m1 spam and hoping enemy team walks into your beam and doesn’t accidentally sneeze onto you and kill you in the process.

Symm doesn’t have much going for her, but all the risks involved, unlike Hanzo who can spam deadly damage from afar.

And when i play Sym i can tell and place the ****inf TP right infront of my team and no one uses it 
. except when i try to do a turret bomb and place it at the center of the enemy team.

The range increase
 You can reach that part of the roof without Mei wall.

48

You don’t even need a mei to do this you can TP straight up there by just jumping and using TP aiming through the window.

sksksks is a VSCO girl laugh
and I oop is an iconic meme by Jasmine masters.

stan means I LIVE for it

and you probably understand the rest.
only locals can’t understand my s̶l̶a̶n̶g dialect.

People just refuse to do this because you hardly see Mei and Symmetra on the same team. I known about this for years but why mention it? You knew your team would ignore you.

52

I’ve made a thread about this idea, it lets her use her TP as dynamic or keep it permanent.

53

This reminds me of a Anubis game i played on mystery heros when we got two symetras and i shot called for us to chain teleport lol

First onto gate then onto the high ground above point A

it was pretty funny.

Symetra enables mad plays if you have a good team with coms
 it’s just a pitty people arn’t always open to that and people have preconcived notions about her viability and just get annoyed by people playing her for no good reason.

54

Thank you for explaining! :slight_smile:

What is a VSCO girl?

Is it safe to assume that Jasmine Masters a Sym streamer?

OK.

Lol. If it weren’t for the emoji, I wouldn’t even have been able to tell that you were excited to see Sym in OWL.

55

this is a vsco girl

(she’s joking btw)
VSCO is a photo editing app

it isn’t
Jasmine Masters is drag queen that went on Rupaul’s drag race.

No, they would rather make the cooldown for her turrets start after getting destoyed.

57

now that’s a PRO GAMER MOVE If I’ve ever seen one!

“Completely busted on live with the beam changes BTW”

WHAT? LOL That made me laugh pretty hard.
