I play her for her right click, the hitbox and damage so good for poke comp. And she can weave in TP to poke at angle
Other than that, the left click is so useless, even in ideal scenario close range, it still suck
Sym’s identity at this point is that she’s the Grand Poobah of gimmicks. Want to play a character that gets regeneration from shooting characters that end with the letter ‘a’? Go Sym.

I dont think running Sym into Zarya and Rammatra is good idea, mate 
She doesn’t have an identity. Her identity originally was ‘‘light weaving graceful dancing architect’’. Her ‘‘light weaving’’ was reflected in a fluid bendy noodle beam which flowed effortlessly around, which they then replaced with a battering ram with 0 grace. She also used to place her turrets on the floor/walls with a graceful fluid hand dance like movement, now she just lobs them out, like they are a piece of dirt she is trying to flick off her finger. She used to build a magical useful unique object as her ult making her the ultimate utility character, now she just has a massive boring wall no-one cares about. They took the ‘‘graceful dancer’’ out of her identity and now she is just ‘‘Thing’’, she has no identity. When I see her in game I just feel angry and sad at how she used to be.
I had a friend on my friends list who was obsessed with Symmetra and had loads of her merchandise, when they first ruined Sym she started logging in less and less and soon disappeared all together. This deletion of characters identities was terrible, terrible for the game. The game was so successful at first because the heroes were so unique and had such strong identities that everyone had one hero on the rooster that was ‘‘their’’ main, that they loved. And they just chipped away at uniqueness and identity so people eventually stopped loving the heroes because they were boring.
The rework from support ruined her on every level IMO, that was the beginning of the end of OW for me. And then the devs learnt absolutely nothing from it and proceeded to ruin a load of other heroes as well.

Well now, I’m not saying it’s a good idea to pick her, I’m saying that her identity has devolved into Gimmick: The Movie: The Game.
to be bullied by the devs over and over again
her kit IMPLIES shes intended to be a shieldbreaker with good frontline pressure and the ability to reposition herself, but in practice blizzard has never, not once, actually allowed her to do that and anytime she fulfills the niche they intended for her, blizzard nerfs her

Her hero fantasy is to “Nae nae nae” all over the opposition.
But in all seriousness Sym was made to be a very unique and creative means to DPS.
Sadly throughout all the years her creativity took a dive and she is forced to be a more linear dps.
Currently she is the anti mercy beam hero when enemy healbots are being super annoying, or when you seroiously just need to wreck a Sig or a Dva in the face.
Other than that its hard to get value from her besides her most prominent playstyle currently of poke/area denial.
Indeed it is especially after nerfing it and overbuffing right click for some reason.
Overbuff her right click then nerf her hp because right click too good
My two most played hereos used to be Mercy and Sym, now i think Sym might not even be in my top 10 cause i literally hate everything they did with her kit. Ults a support ult, teleport is a support ability, turrets are built like paper, secondary fire is fine, primary fire is booty unless their tank is even more booty and feed it charge.

I don’t play her anymore but her identity is TP out of spawn, TP to point, TP around point, throw useless turrets.
Also u cant tell me support sym was far fetched, they literally gave a healing turret to illari instead. Idk supp sym woulda be such a cool concept but alas, we can only hope for sym 3.0

Her identity is to make barrier tanks and tanks with shield health not have fun. If the enemy go Junker Queen, Roadhog, Wrecking Ball, Mauga, etc., then just switch off Sym to another hero.
Symmetra 2.0 was an amazing hero, I loved playing her. Her and original Mei were why I fell in love with the game. With them both gone this game is just a piece of sheer crap to me now.
