why do they allow syms orbs to one shot a 200 hp hero? this seems a little broken, especially when she spams them through chokes and one shots 2 dps going through.
…140 + 30 meele = 170… i dont see the one shot
I could be wrong or missing something

ive only noticed this recently, getting one shot by orbs. never used to happen.
being full health 200 hp, orb is the only thing that hits me and one shot me on several occasions this week.
Either nanoboosted or baptiste ulted. She cannot oneshot anything with her orbs on her own.

That, or if you’re stood in a choke and get hit by it, it’s probably that and something else, chip damage you didn’t notice, hitting you in quick succession.

They do 140 damage. They take a second to charge up.

They don’t one shot, fake news
Do you have a replay of a game we can see?
I am 100% sure they dont oneshot

They don’t 1-shot but they are yet another example of DPS power-creep and, in effect, tank nerfs. After their damage was increased recently I noticed an uptick in Symms appearing in games and they tend to spam barriers, breaking them pretty quickly. It was already bad enough with Junk “zero-skill” spam (in bronze) giving out way more damage than the skill applied should allow, now Symm too is just spamming constantly barriers are pretty much a waste of time. I can see why tank has pretty much a zero queue time in QP - they are not a lot of fun to play any more.

Even if they could one shot, they are super easy to avoid if you are paying attention.

Symmetra? Broken?
I’m sorry, but it took Symmetra 3 years to be considered a viable pick, and 2 weeks to return to garbage tier. Her 140 damage orbs literally do nothing but help her spam and gain her ult faster since they’ve gutted all her other forms of damage.
And I failed my maths qualification, but I’m pretty sure 140 + 35 = 175 damage. What 200 health hero am I missing that dies to a 175 burst damage combo? They must be an awfully designed hero.
Symmetra’s orbs are literally the only part of her kit that’s remotely decent right now, and even then they’re slow enough that even short range they can be dodged with little effort.
So…
Deal. With. It.

Can’t you just like…move?
A Rein holding his shield up is fast enough to side step them.
Not true, her orbs are actually good for killing half health enemies. I don’t understand why you think that, her orbs are probably the best thing in her kit for damage wise. They are really good if you know how to use them.

Well you know, Tracer. 
Tracer dosen’t have 150 HP as far as I know
