Symmetra should be the 'Zero Suit Samus/Samus' of Overwatch

So if you’ve ever played Super Smash Bros you’d know that there are two versions of the same character, one is Samus in her regular orange battle suit and then there is Zero Suit Samus who is Samus but with a different move set.

There’s a lot of players, myself included, that would love Symmetra to be a support as she originally was. There’s also a large crowd who want her to be kept as a damage hero.

I’m here to say: How cool would it be if we could get both in the game at once? A support Symmetra with a new kit and keep the damage Symmetra as is. It’d make her incredibly unique. An obvious limitation would be a rule that you can’t have two on the same team at once.

I really like this idea, personally. I’d love to be able to play Symmetra as a support but I understand it’s been a long time now since she was one, I think this is a decent compromise and fun!

Symmetra’s lore wiith her light constructs and her short story with Zenyatta give her so much potential. She is the reason I picked up Overwatch, I was very sad when they changed her.

I know it’s unlikely for this to happen but can’t blame me for trying :smiley:

Thanks for reading!

“There are 2 versions of Samus”

Link, Link and Link: :frowning:

I don’t think the devs will start doing this. The closest thing would be Sanjay as a Sym replacement but he’s kinda a leader isn’t he? Leaders tend to be tanks in ow.

i think i made a thread about this long ago when they were trying her as a support in an experimental.

was suggesting hybrid heroes like in world of warcraft where some classes have multiple roles. druid being the one that can do everything almost. melee dps, range dps tank and heals

Was just using Samus as an easy example hahah there are lots of multiples in that game it’s wild

I know it’s unlikely but I have some hope that we’ll see support Symmetra again one day :slight_smile:

It’d be cool if they brought back defense and 6v6. Not another tank, but the defense role, and Sym would be in there creating more structures with hard light.
Blocks/stairs/boosters to get other characters to high ground or to hide behind in a firefight.
