Symmetra is dead, lowest pickrate yet

Symmetra’s not bad, people just know how to handle her and she’s somewhat situational

please read the following:

@Zephrin-11143

the only reason why sym currently is so niche and team dependent is because she simply lacks fundamental tools for her to function. legit her situation is:

@Zephrin-11143

• no decently available tool for her to get herself in and out of her shorter effective range often enough

• neither the sustain in her effective range to sustain her for sustain damage NOR burst for how little time she has in her effective range to get something done.

tp was her tool for the first point but blizz trashed it by spiking up its down time immensely for no good reason via infinite tp nerf.

and tp was legit sym’s tool to be more bursty too because it allowed sym to precharge orbs or pre-place turrets before sending them through so that her engagement wouldn’t include setup time.

pretty much the only reason sym is so dependent on double shield team pockets now (i.e. why she’s so niche and team dependent) is literally because of tp being via the infinite tp nerf

having a specialty is 1 thing, being without fundamental tools to function is another. sym is the latter.
