Sorry i was reffering to sym i see how that was confusing. I meant i have 3 less tracer hours than you. I dont find sym particularly strong either honestly i just enjoy poking fun at the forum mentality that you cant do anything on her.
My relationship with Sym has changed a lot over the last year or so. She actually used to be my most hated hero in the whole roster. I found her turrets insufferable as a Tracer and Hammond player.
Over time I’ve expanded my hero pool and gotten better, and I’m also getting matched with much more skilled teammates these days. In my average match currently, most Sym turrets don’t last more than a few seconds and many are shot out of the air before they land. So she doesn’t bother me much anymore.
On the other hand, I’ve started playing her and I love her primary so much. Her orbs are fun too and the TP can be a great tool when your team uses it, but her lack of mid-fight mobility really does make it hard for her to live long in team fights.
Half the time I forget to even use the turrets. They can be deleted for all I care as long as she’s given better mobility or sustain instead.
Honestly so many of people’s complaints can be summed up with people needing to improve and have a diverse hero pool. If all your heroes are countered by turrets, and you’re not playing at a level where people kill them, then you’ll probably really hate turrets.
But that’s not actually a problem with the turrets or that hero.
I think once the ptr changes come through that the game will be pretty close to balanced and the stuff that isn’t, really isn’t that far off.
She can be irritating but is not usually overbearing i agree. Shes also not the useless guarentee of a loss that sombra (kinda) is despite the perception on these forums. I think she is right where she belongs. Viable in a niche at almost every rank, whether its for the turrets at plat and below or the teleporter above that.
I dont even think hero selection matters especially if the tanks and supports commit to cleaning them up to help their dps out as they should. They counter bad teams not any one hero.
They counter flankers because they alert a team to their presence and slow down the flanker.
Your team can counter your counter for you by taking the time to kill them. Bad teammates and players won’t kill them and then complain that they are broken.
If you as a flanker have to do it yourself, you probably won’t die but it’s gonna slow you down. And being slowed down is the last thing you want with a hit and run playstyle.
Yes! I just remember them super policing threads and and posting sections of the coc to everyone. That new person thats doing it now is kind of a throwback to them
They took down the Battle.net domain forums last month. Technically the pages exist in the Internet Archive, but they don’t load correctly. I have to go into the source code, look for the relevant HTML and copy and paste it, check for errors, fix them, build it the framework of this fan site I am building.
If I didn’t have the URLs of each dev post already, it would be a lost cause.
Makes me wonder if you can get a pass for the fan site with permission from Blizzard. You have some credential anyway but it comes down to Blizzard’s decision to save you a lot of hassle by giving you some access.
I remember Nevermore (who I think is under the name Speedwagon now). I also remember the hero concept Tara, that was so well done that even a Dev commented on it.
