I have never see her won any game in QP.
If my team has a Symmetra is literally a space wasted, she is horrible right now and at least the old Symmetra could be a pain in the bvtt if the enemy team ignored her the whole game.
But now? no way she is terrible.
I would not say terrible. But she does need some fine tuning.
Then you haven’t partied with me or my friend. I won plenty of death matches and quick play rounds. Nevertheless as everyone else have been saying she needs tuning.
I think she’s just boring and un-fun. the old symmetra was just straight up hilarious to play and I have fun just frying people as they flail helplessly about. New sym feels so pointless with her laser pointer.
As a bonus I have never seen a sym on my team use her tele to help her team…she only uses it to get from one ledge to another…
Friend of mine who enjoyed playing old Symmetra and even insta-locks her every time we ended up on Anubis Defense pulled off 12k damage in a QP match with the new one. He enjoys playing the new one, that’s for sure.
Id say shes okay, Her tp is very powerful but everything else is just okay. I feel like the beam is impossible to charge though, maybe i just suck but i havent seen it charged up on anything other than a shield.
Even then your likely to die. I’ve fully charged my beam up on a WInston shield and still lost the 1v1 against him due to how much reduced the dmg is vs armor. Since they split the beam up into 10 chunks your doing 1/10th of the dmg per hit, meaning more dmg is reduced from armor.
This is why while it should in theory take 2 seconds to kill bastion fully charged it takes closer to 3 or 4. Never mind the level 1 beam, it only really does 15 dps against armor as every one of the ticks is cut in half.
Honestly there is never a good reason to use M1, even against a Brigitte you usually lose, even if you charge up on her shield first.
What’s your rank? I am slaughtering with her down here in Bronze.
Are you asking for teleports? I’m definitely up for teleporting people, I ask for requests all the time but nobody takes me up on it.
Something tells me that no matter what, TP is going to be criminally underused in solo-queue QP.
Yup, pretty much. Don’t focus on charging it but don’t miss any opportunities to do so either. Even at full charge, beam is still her secondary weapon IMO. At least so far. People that have really good aim are going to get it charged faster.
She’s still totally working out for me though.
I thought she was better at first but I’m not sure now. With new Symmetra I’ve sometimes held my own, but that’s all. I have to switch often when we just don’t have the firepower. Meanwhile the old Symmetra wasn’t perfect but there were definitely times when she dominated matches.
Sym is totally broken in Unlimited mode arcade though. Normal Sym with three turrets is nothing, a team of 3 or more Sym’s is a near impossible hazard to by pass. You pretty much can’t destroy them faster than they get redeployed.
She’s not horrible, she’s countered easily now because she doesn’t have her old photon barrier (rip)
I agree entirely. Her kit is so awkward, that she ends up having to true playstyle
Symmetra is useful in more situations now. Her true power was having shield/tele up all the time along with 6 turrets and her own damage. If ever her turrets were knocked out or ultimate down she was back to being one of the more underwheming heroes. It also never helped that in order to set-up turrets/ult she has to waste so much time traveling to set stuff back up again. This made her highly ineffective on any assault to claim space.
The new Symmetra changes she is highly more reactive on the fly. Need to place those turrets now? Boom, they are placed and she only needs like <2 seconds to cast. Not 10 seconds trying to walk to each place to place them. To far away to attack and not safe to walk into the open? Just spam a more reliable ranged projectile that has the traits like a Pharah Rocket.
Does your team or yourself need to move somewhere? Place a teleporter for 25 meter range up or down. Does your team need to advance? Place a straight line shield that your team can weave in and out of to soak up much damage.
Seriously, Symmetra on 2CP offensive or trying to retake a control point is actually far more doable than she was before since she has team movement options, large shield to advance with, better ranged option, and turrets to cast while moving forward to cover possibly enemy chokes they might want to come out of and stuff. Its just at a cost of her objective defense is a bit weaker since Teleporter was rather good.
girl i carried like 10000 QP games with her
Please stop trying to revert her to the lock on weapon. I constantly get 3 gold games with her in quick play. Please stop.
New Sym is awesome, won plenty of games with her and even snagged PotG in a bunch on them. Maybe learn how to play before deciding she’s useless and “can’t win”
She 100% more fun than old Sym who was boring.
Here you go, my last PotG shame it starts just after I ruined Doomfist’s punch by slamming down my mega wall.
but no you right she sucks now…
It’s VERY multitaskey, which Sym kind of was before but now it’s totally cranked up. But it works really well once you get a handle on it.
Add to the complexity of operating her 3 weapon systems, the fact that her positioning must be much tighter. Add to that that while you’re doing all this you should be thinking of where good teleport opportunities are.
Kind of a brain strain but I am loving it.
Yeah like by 1% more fun. Sheesh. I’m just going to like look at old Symmetra videos. You know the days when left click was awesome and fire orb went through shields…yeah the good old days.
I disagree I think the new left click is the bee’s knees, it reminds me of the old rocket launcher from doom or something.
I’d rather it move much faster and deal more damage, then it being able to go through shields and being super slow and extremely easy to dodge (seriously most kills were accidental from spamming it into a choke) .
I wish we has shield gen instead of tele, or the photon barrier for e back again.
