Yeah, I disagree with a lot of this. When 2.0 was done, there was no way to make her a Support, given that half of the previous 6 heroes released were Supports.
Also, her kit did not fit the Support role, being the only support with no healing abilities at all.
Now the game is faster, maps are more open, and a short range support like all the propsed Sym kits would just be terrible. And, no, don’t tell me 2.0 was good. Watch an OW game on YT from 2018 where 2.0 was played and admit that kit was so much worse than the rework.
Everything here is wishcasting for some fictional universe where Sym 1.0 or Sym 2.0 could be dropped in and suddenly the same playerbase who reported Sym mains to the Shadow Realm would accept her with open arms as a support.
The one thing that OP doesn’t go over in this exhaustive post is how many Sym 1.0 and 2.0 players who don’t even play anymore camp on these forums and spam all kinds of nonsense in any Sym discussion like “OWL taxibot” and help keep players from actually trying her.
