Symmetra needs buffs and the devs are like “y’all hear sumn?”

General Discussion

I guarantee she will get no buffs in this PTR update.

Her tickrate will remain trash.

Her charge rate will remain at 2 seconds per charge.

The base damage of primary will stay trash.

Her ammo will stay at 70.

Her TP will still take a year to set up.

Her turrets will still have a 10 second cooldown.

She will still be squishy af.

Her pickrate will continue to fall.

No gold weapon cosmetics changes, Highlight intros or Victory poses.

Players will continue to be flamed for picking her and the Symmetra community will feel increasingly disenchanted with the game.

Edit: The charge rate was buffed slightly and it’s helping but she still has a lot of issues and a wind up kit.

Edit: 26/4/19

since this is a necro I just want to say that I feel Sym is in a pretty good spot now. Her tickrate is better. Her beam feels good. It charges faster.

Her main issues remain the slow deploying TP and small interact radius.

Can she have a golden glove now?

just wish they would revert the turrets changes aside from the boosted hp and the throwability and restore her lock on with 60 on the base damage value rather than the old 30

the forums: gives constructive arguments about symmetra’s situation after a third rework without over-flooding the forums

We can’t keep the health changes and have 6 turrets. It also means that we would have the effective minute long cooldown again.

They said they removed the lock-on so “they could increase the damage”.

Yeah, thanks for the damage increase that won’t hit anything, won’t ramp-up, and won’t damage armor. Blizzard always fixing problems by introducing new ones.

Yer that comment by Geoff really burnt my parsnips " we cant increase her damage potential without removing her lockon " There was NOTHING wrong with her potential damage just its initial damage

Symmetra is like mercy. People who love the character but are divided on how to fix her. Only her community is lesser known and more gay.(@me)

For a support, yes. It was okay.

For a dps, no.

… oh yes the equivalent to a direct Pharah rocket every second her old primary damage was just ABYSMAL! -_-

Who asked for a DPS Symmetra, though? It was just another BS idea the devs shoehorned into the game while competely ignoring the people who play the hero.

If they had given her the ability to pause and re start her barriers flight they could have turned her into a barrier support a mix between a main tanks ability to shield her team and a support

I’m tired of getting flamed for playing Symmetra just like I did before. I’m tired of this slow TP. I’m tired of the unconsistent damage and trash M1. I’m tired of waiting for 30 seconds to deploy 3 turrets that can be destroyed with 1 melee or any AoE damage. Tired of having delayed everything (damage, mobility). Tired of having no survavibility. Tired of being told she cannot have any buffs because of the damage potential, which include the turrets, so they made a rework and failed to realise she cannot rely on turrets. Tired of the Dev teams ruining every character I play and then completly ignoring them.

But that would have been a good idea, you know the devs don’t do that.

“Here, take another ult-on-a-cd that’s clunky and impractical.”

Because it would have been too much to make her a barrier support, no, we have to have even more DPSs to make OWL look cool.

Sym mains: “Blizz what are your plans to help out our girl Sym 3.0?”

Devs: “Symmetra? I don’t know her.”

Sym mains: “Her pick rate is still F tier and she could use some adjustments.”

Devs: “I can’t read suddenly. I don’t know.”
