Okay listen, I’ve been a Symmetra main since the first few weeks of Overwatch and I’ll be honest, I really like the changes to her
Primary Fire
They basically turned her Microwave into a Shield Killer, which is fine! Reinhardt/Orisa Shields begone!
But the removal of her lock-on is kind of weird, it’s pretty iconic to be honest
Secondary Fire
Yes… They actually changed her Secondary Fire! No longer is it simply a Spam Orb (It still kind of is), now it deals Area Damage and it charges / moves faster now!
I’m really glad they changed her Secondary Fire, before you had to pray that someone walks into the slowest projectile in the game, now you have a better chance of hitting them!
Turrets
Arguably one of my favorite changes, I no longer need to manage my Turrets or have them all destroyed and waiting 60 seconds to get all my turrets back up.
Throwing your Turrets is neat, but the buff to it’s damage/slow is great
Well, I guess I have to say goodbye to the Car Wash, but it’s time to Hose people down!
Teleporter
This is insanely good, teleporting entities and teammates without mobility? Sign me up! Time for surprise Gravition/Nuke!
There’s going to be A LOT of Synergy between her and a bunch of Ultimates
New Ultimate
It’s pretty cool, gives your team some breathing room and allows them to safely traverse the battlefield (As long as an enemy isn’t on your side of the barrier)
5000 Health is a lot, but the barrier is “infinite in size” as the devs would put it.
So couldn’t someone just destroy the Barrier without being in line of sight of you or your allies? Say a Junkrat or Bastion, they deal High Damage to barriers, or even the entire enemy team?
Also apparently you can place it from a large distance
But one question if a Dev sees this, does Sombra’s Ultimate work on this barrier?
It’s sounds like a great Ultimate, but I want to see it in action on the PTR before I give my verdict for this one
Moved from Support to Defense
Honestly she feels more like a Support than ever before! She can destroy barriers quickly so your Offense Heroes can bring the hurt, Teleport Allies without Mobility and Surprise Ultimate Combo enemies, Slow Down enemies more, and give your team some breathing room with her powerful Barrier!
But if the Devs think that she belongs in Defense, I’m not going to argue, I just feel like she can stay in Support
Removal of Shield Generator
I really liked Shield Generator, giving your Allies 75+ Shields is great! but, I guess we won’t be seeing her Unique Choice of Ultimates anymore, it was fun while it lasted!
Anyways, thank you Devs for looking at my/our favorite Indian Tech Support! Hopefully she won’t be classed as a Troll Pick anymore…
