  1. I still believe that using 2.0 as a base would work much better in overwatch 2. The old photon barrier especially would be so handy since there's less tank protection.

    Additionally here are my previous Symmetra rework concepts. All of them are better than the garbage we just received.

    Symmetra rework concepts oldest to newest.

  2. I feel like if they're going to make the orbs faster and weaker they should have made them charge faster instead of slower. Like it feels like they wanted to lower her utility but they forgot to increase other things to account for that

  3. So they not only didn't rework one of the most unused and niche characters but instead nerfed her when she was already indirectly nerfed with the tank buffs and the less barriers in the game, honestly they can delete her and it wouldn't make a Change

  4. I know this is a beta but honestly, (except for her release) this feels like the worse sym has ever been. In total, her overall dps has decreased, her mobility was reduced, and her consistency is gone

  5. Honestly, I'm happy about this. I'm not a Sym main, I'm a tank main, and I'm glad Sym is finally being nerfed, though this does seem pretty severe and I don't think they'll leave her this way.

  6. I'm convinced there is a person on the OW balance team that has a irrational hatred for Symmetra. I bet they used to go into Sym nests all the time back in the day, and now they exercise their revenge by making her dodo >:C

  7. You can tell there are no Sym players developing her changes. Her damage has never been her problem its always been her survivability. She’s always been team dependent and this tp change does not fix that

  8. My only consolation is that this can be a rude awakening for the devs to give Sym a lot of attention moving forward.

    Bc if they put out these changes earnestly thinking it would help her, only for the community backlash to be unanimous, it shows how MASSIVELY out of touch the devs are w this character.

    PS: You have a really pleasant/satisfying voice lol you should consider starting a podcast
