i do not like this rework they are changing too much about her kit, it looks like they are just removing symmetra from the game and adding this weird portal character
Youâre only mad because of the primary changes, because I canât see how you can be mad about the other changes

Nothing has even been confirmed, all blizz did was mention things they were testing.

Actually iâm mad about her barrier getting removedâŚIt was the most important skill in her kit for symm mains. that her alternate fire⌠I wanted my primary fire changed cause i found it the weakest part of my kit.
For the sake of the arguments, gathered changes so far, and including old for the unsure what the changes are:
Old:
Primary: Lockon beam.
Alt fire: Shield piercing orbs. Good for vs shield tanks.
E-Barrier: Medium speed moving barrier.
Turrets: 6x 1hp useless crap.
Ult: Tp/shield gen. Destroyable in seconds.
New:
Primary: Zarya themeâd deathlaser beam? aim required. (softlock or not?) Can attack shields and GAIN ammo over spending it. Actual size/thickness of beam not mentioned so far that ive seen.
Alt fire: Faster moving orbs, cant pierce shields. BLOW UP for AoE dmg on surface contact in x/y range.
E-TP: A tp similar to reapers shadowstep, or doomfists ult in terms of placement. 20yrds was it? (up and down ramps confirmed or not?)
Turrets: 3x 30hp, apparently improved dmg and slow potential, no numbers given. (Sadly no more detection nets strat i think)
Ult: Map spanding shield wall deployable like MEIâs wall. Usable while in spawn. 5000 hp (Tweakable)
Personally. Id like to see a quality of life change:
New passive:
Allows teammates to see symmetraâs tp locations, and turret placements through walls. (Possibly highlight their target through walls if turrets is in âuseâ)
This would just make it easier for symâs to tell her team whats going on. If shes gona focus on being a tp and area denial hero⌠go on it. Give this.

Hey Iâll have you know that Mercy mains enjoy playing Sym⌠and D.Va.
You know what Iâm beginning to sense a pattern here.
She sucked, got reworked and still sucked. Her kit clearly doesnât work and cannot be viable so either we get stuck forever with a hero that is permanently trash or she gets reworked into something new that is actually useful. Its a shame to see some of her go but it needed to be done.
Her playstyle is mostly the same. Just has more abilities, an active ult rather than running away to place it and more versatile in more areas.
Honestly I loved syms lock on but I feel like the lock on going away is what people are actually sad about. Shes still sym at her core and I donât get why people say shes a new hero
Not, they will not give a 195 dps primary as a lock on ability

i love how much hate sym mains have for this new concept which sounds like meta changing, her scaled dmg would be soooo good.
either your really upset you have too learn to aim, or you really just have fake love for sym, she has a chance to be somthing great and sym mains just wanna hold sym back!!
she needs to break up with you its obvi not a good fit.

Hush baby
Dont generalize us i play widowmaker and ana and im good at it. So i dont have a problem with needing to aim .
The playstyle youâve grown to love her for was only useful on the 1st capture point on defense (on a select few maps mind you).
These changes are needed. The alternatives would be to either keep her in support and have her actively giving shields (maybe through dealing damage, but we already have Briggite who heals with that method), or make her heal (which theyâve tried, and it felt extremely awkward). Or, we can keep it how it is. Move her to defense, and change her playstyle a bit.

I was talking more about complaining about every change than aim.
I know people are gonna react to their main getting changed, but I feel as if the three aforementioned groups of people go the extra mile.
I have no clue why sym mains are angry that a niche pick that they try and force into every map will now actually work in most mapsâŚpeople will want sym on their team.

âFake love of symmâ LMAO
We donât play symm for her name or for the way she looks, we play her for what she is right now, They will change that completely. her play style will change 100%
to somthing good yes it will. because her current play style is why she is so niche.
