Symmetra is dead

congratulations on the stealth nerfs to every aspect of her kit bar wall [sounds familiar doesn’t it?] She really needed her turret damage reduced 25%, her m1 nerfed, her orbs to be pathetically weak, and her tp to have its health reduced…

symmetra’s matchups are so terrible now. People who were 4.7 with sym 3.0 in ow1 two weeks ago are now stuck in masters (yes even across many many games) because she is that bad.

You managed to make sym 4.0 even weaker than sym 1.0

Impressive :clap: :clap: :clap: :clap:

Good thing bastion and torb have been sectioned and are being hotfixed as we speak. Lets leave symmetra to rot though. Symmetra mains have had their fun with a viable hero the past few months. Back to dog tier for the next few years, eh? :slight_smile:

She wasnt even that strong at the end of OW1 either…
Just because Blizz hates Symmetra, they “balanced” her in step with all other nerfs.
Its like the stun for Brigitte… Totally unneeded, no one complained about that, while Roadhogs stun while hooking is still in the game… Absolutely bonkers.

Love how they nerfed a lot of heroes without actually looking at the hero they nerfed. Mei is also affected similiar to Symm.

That said, let’s nerf Sombra with 300% :D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D

She’s not “dead”, she has always been a troll pick

Can’t believe im actually saying this, but symm is fine. Plenty of heroes are worse.

She certainly isn’t the best. But she at least has niche use. Some heroes(Queen, Cass, Bastion, etc.) Dont even have that.

What niche use is that exactly? Tp out of spawn? That not a niche that’s a joke.

She gets outclassed by every other dps in the game.

Both kill her without a problem. Sym is the worst hero in OW2 by far. She is useless at this point and a joke to duel.

She was always bad and niche.

In 6v6 she could focus more on beaming tanks behind a shield. Now thats harder to pull off. She cannot defend supports, she is too weak to play close to the tank.

5v5 made her even worse.

She’s fine.

As always, she’s been a niche pick and very map and comp dependent.

If your tank is a Rein or Orisa, more than likely you’re fine playing Sym.

One quality of life would be to have her turrets appear instead of being thrown out with the possibility of being destroyed in flight. Give it a max range a bit farther than the teleporter (which seems to be less than it was before).

At least 1.0 and 2.0 provided real utility to their team with minimal coordination.

Also, why does Sym still have the massive head hitbox? They should have gotten rid of it ever since they removed the lock on beam.

At least she has a niche

With the Nerf to her Orb damage she can no longer 2-shot 200 health heros. If you were good enough, or they are clueless enough, it was very rewarding. It was easy for the enemy to avoid but it felt good.

It was obvious she lost this, but I didn’t fully understand the issue with this until yesterday.

Not being able to 2-shot Widow with well placed orbs just feels awful.

Mastering her slow orb speed was a rite of passage for Sym Players. You were required so to win duels/tp flank.

Why master Sym’s right click now when Mei’s right click is outright superior lol.

Exactly. I am trying to continue to main Sym on DPS but I almost always end up switching to Mei. Lol

She had one… What is her niche in 5v5?

Teleport bot. Same as 1.

but you said shes fine and now you’re admitting yourself that she is not because having a niche does not make a hero GOOD
