Back in my day her ult was a choice of tp or shield gen, she could deploy her own personal shield and we didn’t need to balance her around tp strats.
But the devs decided that she needed to go away and she’s been mediocre everywhere ever since.

Yeah I miss when Sym wasnt beholden to the whims of 4-5 randos.
All her power budget is now in the teleport so everything else of her kit is mediocre because of it.
I know I wrote first “Blizzard balancing team hates Symmetra”.
But tough that was to harsh and I can’t be sure if it is intentional or just a commit mistake.

Oh no they outright said in a reddit AMA that they nerfed her DPS abilities intentionally because of ‘‘pro-play compositions’’ during the Mauga meta.
And before that, during OW1, they nerfed her TP cooldown in exchange for making it last forever until destroyed (which was a massive nerf to Sym’s DPS plays and a buff to her being a TP slave) because they want her to be a TP slave.

Moira. Not only is her DPS low, but everyone cries at you “hey, why don’t you heal” or “play with your team.”
it depends on the player really and what rank you are in or what mode you play
for dps personally my strongest hero is sombra, ashe and widowmaker. still with sombra i have way more of a chance of winning than both ashe and widow for some reason. guess i am not the greatest in aiming or i be a higher rank hehe
plus with sombra im a sneaking conniving player. i can really distract and disrupt players enough where i can sometimes make up for the tank/support difference
yea i use to have the highest winrate with symmetra but they really gutted her. if i played her constantly and one tricked her now my winrate of 62 percent with over 100 hours would probably drop down to sup par 40 lol

Genji is easily the worst DPS and character in the game. He is in severe need of buffs.
