It’s not easy to predict where Zarya will toss Grav though. You could place it in the spot you believe she’ll use Grav and the next thing you know she uses it on a wall nearby that’s not close enough to the TP.

I won’t, they basically straight up lied. 90% of what they said about the rework was lies. 10 seasons of a hero being F tier even after rework. You would think they would get the second rework right but it’s even worse than before. It’s honestly a mockery to Sym players at this point.

I understand you being upset about your favorite hero changing but I honestly feel like this is a strong emotionally charged opinion.
I believe you said you have played every iteration of Sym, including 1.0? Well I haven’t, I began playing on the first anniversary and accumulated a lot of hours on her before the rework. Post rework I am having more fun and succeeding with her is easier than ever before.
I am not trying to detract from or marginalize your experience; I just disagree. What I do agree with, is some of what they said about the rework could be considered a lie. Definitely not 90% though.

You are damn right it’s a strong emotionally charged opinion 
10 seasons man… I think at this point the only reason I play Symmetra is because I’ve formed some masochistic tendencies and I’m just used to playing the game with the literal worst hero in the game.
Emotions aside, the rework is a failure. On multiple levels objectively looking at the numbers - primary is terrible. Orbs don’t pierce and radius is super small. Teleporter is gimmicky as stated. Ult is situational. Turrets die from a cough and mid-air. I would go in detail but just what’s the point. They ignored all PTR feedback as usual. I don’t have an issue that she is changed, I don’t have any problems with aiming whatsoever. I have an issue that the rework is objectively bad and they straight up lied about most of the things (the TP and the primary).

Nope, the emotional responses I’m leaving for other threads. This one I’m being very objective: Geoff said one major use of Sym’s new TP is getting her team out of Grav combo. I’m relating that I’m failing hard at doing that, and I’m asking if someone else can do it reliably. The answer thus far seems to be “no”.
I’m not saying TP is useless. I’m not saying Sym 3.0 is terrible. I’m saying it don’t allow us to do what the devs told us it was able to do. That’s all.
If you disagree, then, please, give us some pointer how we can use TP to get our teammates out of a sure team kill combo before the combo finishes. I’m being serious here that I want to learn a way to make use of that specific defensive capability.

It should deploy faster, and get that clunky interact thing out of the way!!! At least let us opt out of it

This so much!
Like I can’t tell you how many of my teammates don’t bind the interact key and because of them, I am more of a detriment to the team. Plus how does it make sense for her to be able to teleport D.Va bomb + Turrets w/o interact? You can easily grief D.Va’s and Torbs with it, but does that happen? No. I use TP to reposition my Torb and his turret so they both stay alive, and I’m sure every serious Sym player uses TP for that reason or others such as getting to high ground, escaping dangerous situations, etc… So instant use on TP wouldn’t be a problem imo.

People realising finally how TP is just a big fat gimmick no matter how they try to dress it up as “omg you can escape gravitons with this baby!!11”?
Even better when your teammates don’t even bother to use the TP and then you realise new symm power is all on ther TP lol.

I’m not sure if this was directed at me, but that particular reply was meant for someone else, and I actually agree with you on the topic of the new teleporter and it’s alleged functions.

Geoff gave you bad tactical advice. The devs seem eager to demonstrate ignorance of how the game plays.

Geoff tactics is “escorting riptires with dva’s defence matrix” when they nerfed her.

Wow, I actually remember that. That is hilarious, looking back.
I think when they say things like that it’s because they are putting out theories that they don’t actually try putting into practice themselves. I don’t think I have ever seen a D.Va escort a Riptire with DM.
The forums show when you are replying to a specific post, except when its the post directly before your reply. I understood the context after this reply. So, sorry for that.
I’ll leave the post as is because I think it still send a good message for the readers.

You can tp out of grav but you have to be lightning quick. Its also easier to set up the tp if you get caught in the grav as the ui for setting up a tele is a bit wonky.
If you’re expecting grav you might have to:
Activate teleporter aiming and hope Zarya doesn’t notice.
Aim the teleporter.
Tell your team to be ready…
That’s three things you could do in advance. Sad part is you’re not doing anything else and leaving your team 5v6 if grav doesn’t come. Don’t know how much it could help.
Also usually the entrance of the TP gets too far away for you to press F so most of the time it is just a waste of an ability. Grav cannot be escaped with TP, saying that is just a false way blizzard chose to say they are not nerfing grav+DS.
Also in some situations even if you put it down, it builds out of range and you can’t use it anyway, the two times I tried it put the TP so far away, it didn’t matter anyway.

And I must say please blizzard fix and stop teleporter from escaping players trapped in graviton. 3 out of 5 people escaped one game. Its nearly as bad as old mercy hide then mass rez after a successful graviton combo. Graviton is supposed to keep enemy players together for a big payoff. Symmetra new ult if used correctly can stop many follow up combos just like mei’s ice wall and zenyatta ults. Those I can accept but escaping defeats the power of the graviton.
Please no.
It’s already hard enough to keep away from sym as it is, we don’t need a faster TPing ennemy team.
