What would raise Sym pickrate

2.0 is actually fun counter to brig, with her 125 dps piercing orb her shield creeping wouldn’t work on symm, i used to bait every brig by setting a trap with turrets all over the place and once she tries to walk towards me with the shield up, i charge my orbs then youll see them trying to chose between spamming flail or holding her shield up but it wont work because the turret are simultaneously targeting her while her shield cant protect her from orbs, its so satisfying actually

well before the private profile thing. most of the overwatch sites were confirmed to be on the right track in their metrics.

however unless this is confirmed now we dont know. furthermore we dont know how much of overbuff’s estimated stats have been affect by the private profiles.

Then why has private profiles had no noticeable affects on the pickrate of any hero

I feel like the answer is restore photon projector and put teleporter back to ultimate.

The way the new teleporter ult would work is that pressing Q places the base, then you press Q again to place the teleporter exit, which you can aim the way you currently can.

This would allow far more uses for teleporter, for example you can now use it to get defeated allies back into the fight quickly (as you could originally), but it can also be used to allow convenient highground access or to sneak behind the enemy as well, eliminating the original issue that teleporter lost value once the enemy was close to your spawn location.

With all of her other changes, this would probably make her a decently viable character on attack / defense.

i think she’s pretty strong just super wonky

was there a strong meta switch since then. not a real one.
the only people have switched roles are mercy vs ana.
genji came back because he works well with ana’s nano.
hanzo and widow are still the best dps and killing off other dps.

pretty much everything else stayed the same.

The fact that nothing changed overnight regarding the data supports the fact that private profiles have not affected the data

50 meter ranged primary with old sym lock on. Turrets have 300 health do 100 dps and has a 30 meter range, secondary has no charge, 600 damage, orbs the size of Hammond. Teleport is an ability that lasts forever and connects to spawn, she gets shield gen that gives 1000 health and is indestructible. With these changes I think it may help her pickrate and make her more balanced
