Symmetra's beam is not strong enough, but doesn't need much to make it good

All it truthfully needs, is for the damage to scale linearly from 60 to 180 instead of the 3 stages system, and increased range to 16 meters.

I have shared this idea several times already. Most people seem opposed to the idea for some reason.

@JimothyJohn-1949

What if we changed this from a tier based upgrade system (where it increments upward) to a system where it immediately starts ramping the damage up in either smaller increments or in a meter like way?

Example: For every 0.1 of a second of damage done overall damage of Sym’s beam would increase by 3 damage IMMEDIATLY.

Progressing like this:
60 at start
63 at 0.1s
66 at 0.2s
69 at 0.3s
72 at 0.4s
75 at 0.5s
78 at 0.6s
81 at 0.7s
84 at 0.8s
87 at 0.6s
and finally
90 at 1.0s

Resulting in an increase of 30 damage per second of sustained damage applied up to a max of 180. It does not change the overall max potential but gives immediate benefits to using it which would even out its overall dps potential.
