Symmetra’s tickrate was stealth fixed

General Discussion

and if you haven’t felt the difference since Winter Wonderland you probably don’t play her often enough.

Sick of seeing posts where people complain about her primary fire. It’s actually the best it’s been since she was reworked. She could do with a base damage increase but the change is very noticeable.

also she needs a victory pose and highlight intro with her golden gun, and those TP numbers etc etc.

What does tick rate stand for? Sym is my third most played heroe. And was my second golden weapon.

It does wonders but doesn’t change the fact that 60 dps is laughable for a close range dps and should be much higher if not removed entirely

It’s fine and dandy, until you realize how they actually fixed it.

Intrigue. How did they fix it?

It’s the chunks of damage her gun does. The more ticks the less damage. The less ticks the more damage. You used to need really good tracking or a still target to get a lot of value out of it. Now you don’t need to be as aim intensive.

we all want more damage

Imagine her rework day bugged tickrate weapon. Now make it so the first tick when hitting enemy does miniscule damage. That’s the fix.

Can you see the problems it causes?

Maybe it’s a placeholder change while they work on their new modification on how tick rates work?

Placeholder since winter wonderland, i suppose?

11

well they did say they were looking at how it interacts with armour in a future patch.

Honestly, I get a lot more value out of it now than I did before.

Her damage was also stealth buffed to 64/128/192 according to some people testing.

DMG is fine, range is crap.

And yet, still worse then she was before the second unnecessary rework

It’s one thing stealth buffing tick rate. I doubt this damage change is true.

16

well that’s axiomatic

17

One of the wiki’s says it’s 64/128/192 now

There’ this: They buffed Symmetra's primary fire...for real

This person also got similar results

18

Even if it was fixed, all her other problems remain.

19

Hence why I said fix her TP numbers etc etc

I really think if this was the case it would have been on the patch notes.
