is she useless?
not for my dick
>>337885574
poo
>>337885724
elaborate?
No, she's only good on a few maps though. Like the first point on Volskaya Industries, she's god tier there, but useless on some others.
>>337885574
>her ultimate is a teleporter
>it only gets 6 uses
Yes she's useless. If you're braindead and need to use her because you literally cannot aim and you absolutely need turrets, play toblerone.
>>337885815
don't forget it alerts the enemy team when you place the teleporter, so the obligatory tracer will kill it instantly
>>337885574
She's the most underrated character. Her full charged laser has something like 120 DPS.
People place her turrets wrong, they're not supposed to surprise one person who will then kill them after, they're supposed to help hold you chokepoints (protect the teleporter as well), and they have to be spread out, not bunched up like most morons do it.
People also sit around and do nothing at the start instead of trying to hit as many people as possible with orbs to get your tele up and running. If you're defending, it's probably a good idea to switch after losing the first point, but she can work amazingly. Also lets Tracers and Zenys actually exist against a Widow.
>>337885574
She looks kinda fun but her projectile seems fucking stupid. I don't get how you can hit anyone with it except for a Reinhardt or a Winston that are shield camping.
>>337886003
>If you're defending
I like her, but I'm not sold on playing her on attack
>>337885889
Maybe if they made her teleporter indestructible maybe she wouldn't be so useless. or if it had unlimited uses.
DESIGNATED
>>337886123
or just not alert the enemy team, goddamn
it's already so weak with 6 uses and its obvious appearance
nope
>Portal Potty online
>>337886101
I guess you're not an absolute madman like me.
>>337886182
I mean, the fact that the enemy team even has a symetra should be warning enough that they'll have a teleporter. It really doesn't need to be announced.
>>337886319
I get PotG plenty, but nearly all of them are when the enemy tries to push a room I'm camping with my turrets
she's just not got enough health or range to go on offense, but maybe I'm doing it wrong tooalso, attack is a great excuse for me to play my other main/husbando, Road Hog
>>337886323
It's still a reminder for the enemies. "start hunting for the teleporter /now/"
Smart people could have figured out that the tp exists anyway, this is only nerfing her against average players (and worse). Which are the vast majority.
>>337886123
yeah it needs one of the two. finite uses AND being destructible is too much, it needs to pick one.
>main attack is too short range to be effective and too weak to engage in melee
>secondary attack is too slow to ever hit anything
>teleporter doesn't have enough charges to mean anything
>sentries barely do damage and destroyed in one hit
>armor buff doesn't make any real difference and isn't even as good as torbjorn's
Yep. She's useless. She's the only class to be even weaker than Winston.
>>337886323
Everyone shouts when they activate their ultimate, why should Symetra be an exception?
>>337886484
>too weak to engage in melee
did you know that the damage increases?
once it's at max power you can kill an entire team in seconds
source: I do it at least once a round
>>337886516
it's not just people nearby when you drop the teleporter though. the whole enemy team announces it to each other
The reason she wears such and open dress is so she can just plop out a shit where ever she is.
She's quite useful but not as a primary support. She shines when someone else is a mercy, Lucio, Kenyatta or Torbjorn (because ALL THE TURRETS). Her E shields are useful, genji can't deflect her attacks and her m1 and turret fire are close range hitscan so you have to outrun it or kill her. Just don't rely on her as your primary support, she should really be a defense character like Torb, NOT a support
>>337886516
Because for her ultimate to be successful it requires an extremely long time of sustained activation. Other characters have ults that only last a couple of seconds. Meanwhile symm's ult needs a much longer amount of time to be really useful (say upwards of a minute). By announcing its activation to the enemy team it's basically telling them 'hey hunt down and destroy her ult'
>>337886692
>teleporters
>lasers
>light-to-matter technology
but she still has to poop in the designated pooping street
i would always carry my team and get MVP when i played symmetra
the thing is 90% of overwatch players don't know how to play her and bitch and moan about everything
constantly shield your teammates
spread out your turrets
place your teleporter in smart locations
also only use her when you're playing defense, there's better support options when playing offense
>>337886691
>>337886802
And that is why you hide it in a good spot
>>337886123
>made her teleporter indestructible
>or if it had unlimited uses.
haha
She's one of the few characters that I feel is situational based on the map and that's honestly one of her biggest problems. Maybe if her turrets didn't have 1HP or if she actually had a more useful Ultimate she'd be useful but until they make her as versatile as other supports or more defensive she's going to be used on Egypt and Rt.66 Offense and nowhere else.
I do love her Voidray M1 skill however, but can't do shit with her slow as fuck M2.
>>337886306
That's from the test back in november. Symmetra and D.va got nerfed into dust.
>>337886796

>>337886692
Holy shit
>>337886883
She's pretty good on Hollywood defense, I reckon.
What if each person who took her teleporter powered it up and she could detonate it to do damage based on it's uses?
Very useful on certain KOTH maps for defense. Her ultimate can save games, too.
I feel like if the game did a better job at explaining how good her Shield is she'd be slightly better.
>>337886949

Fuck off Indian.
Teleporter should have unlimited uses. She doesnt build ult for another until the current one is destroyed. Shes now not worthless

Indestructible seems shitty because then the enemy team couldn't do dick about it. Unless it went away when she died. Everything needs to be beatable somehow.

>Not wanting to lick her delicious mocha thighs while she steps on your seeping dick with her open toe shoes
Anon pls, autistic in the streets, freak in the sheets
>>337887054
Eh, she gets more useful the farther away your spawn is from the point/payload because her only advantage over the other classes is her teleporter ultimate, so Payloads on offense near the mid through last point are the best. Playing her on offense in the beginning is horrible because of her lack of any real utility (a small team shield and turrets that get instantly erased from existence if a tracer rubs up against one.
The thing about her turrets though is the fact you can place them on the ceiling or behind doorways which may kill on or two people, but will be taken down by the enemy team once they get wise to their positioning with very little resistance.
>>337887381
I wont say her booty doesn't do things to me
>>337887429
well hero switching is a key mechanic of the game for a reason
I just wish you kept even a little % of your ult when switching
>>337887429
only put her turrets in places where the enemy will have bigger problems
personally I try to place them in areas like right beyond the choke point a torbj turret is guarding
the movement speed debuff is the best part
>Map awareness / route shutoff
>Teleporter
>Shield buff
>Can melt tanks
She's bretty good. I saw people hiding by choke points scraping off tanks with her pretty frequently. Would be fucking tight if her sentries disabled movement abilities though I'd pay to see that shit.
>>337887518
>I just wish you kept even a little % of your ult when switching
That would be rather obnoxious because you'd have Mercy and Reinhardt building their quick metered ults and then switching to characters with strong, slower charging ults and then steamrolling.
>>337887663
>the movement speed debuff is the best part
To be fair, that's the only part because that's why they do the kind of damage it does.
>pop some turrets on the top floor of the last point of hanamura on defense
>camp behind the lockers until someone walks in
>turrets notify me that they're locking on
>pop out and charge my m1 while they're looking for the turrets that are spread out on opposite sides of the door
>proceed to murder everyone behind them as they come through the door because my m1 is now at max power
wont work if they're good, but damn does it feel good
Shes good at some defense maps if you're not completely retarded, otherwise I'd go with other support.
>>337885574
She's amazing if your team is already solid on defense. If your team cannot carry themselves and they get pushed back, your teleporter gets destroyed and she is essentially worthless.
Just like once you get bastion and Toblerone become really bad once they've been uprooted. If you stop them before they can dig their heels in to a good campy spot they become a waste of a character slot.
>>337886306
Pretty sure the teleporter had unlimited uses back in november
if you could charge her teleporter after placing it, but only give it 3 charges
then you'd have real reason to get aggressive with your turrets and orbs
>>337888432
>implying bastion is worthless when uprooted
Guess you've never played a good bastion.
>>337885574
Take your shit to /vg/
Unless you are a shill.
>>337886101
She's a very situational role and isn't meant to be 'mained' all the time. The further the goal is from the spawn point, the more use she has.
>>337887431
Shame they don't show it the bastards
The limited teleporter wouldn't be so bad if Symmetra could charge her ult while it's active. feels a bit gimped compared to Dva, who can suicide bomb her mech and spawn a shiny new one right away.
>>337887013
Only when she has this skin, Anon.

>Ultimate is something a defending team always needs, yet she can't generate ult fast enough, it tells the team when it spawns, and its fucking weak as shit
She was good when she gave you enough bonus health to not get instagibbed, but for now she's essentially a less useful tolb
>>337890458
imo her E needs to become her teleporter (15 second cooldown AFTER destruction)
and her ulti needs to become an arena bubble like winston's shield but enemies can't escape from the inside
also switch her to defense
>>337885574
Not at all. Good at dealing damage to enemies beyond a shield, catching people off-guard with her sentries, though she needs tweaking on her ultimate. Does seem like she's misplaced as a Support.
>>337890808
>>25 bonus health buffer
it's enough to keep a tracer from getting 1-shot by a widowmaker bodyshot at least
>>337890763
Fucking hell get over yourself. She's not difficult to play. She's just not worth playing.
>>337885574
Make her primary fire the orb without the stupid charge up
Make alt fire launch turrets so I don't have to jump around like a retard when placing them on high walls and ceilings, with the same cooldown
>>337890861
>>337890835
she is support because she can play offense or defensive roles and has utility. She can't switch to defense without losing all her utility.
>>337891162
>Make her primary fire the orb without the stupid charge up
At least let me store the fucking charge shot.
>>337891180
>can play offense
how, I RARELY see a symettra successful setup stuff on anything but defense.
No she's more situational and stronger on defense than most other characters. She also requires good map knowledge and honestly should be classified as a defense hero, you should not use her as a standalone support.
>>337888569
I actually really love this idea. Keep the teleporter having a set number of uses but just have it deactivate after they're expended, and then convert further ult gained into additional teleports.
>>337890242
>>337885574
I want to poo in her loo if you know what i mean.
>>337885574
NOT WITH THOSE BIG FUTA BALLS AND PENIS SHE ISN'T.
>>337891307
if in a room for push, place laser on ceiling and melt a squishy while bunny hopping or coordinated effort melting the tank down
if not in a room for push place a laser under their feet while you melt face
if pushing against defensive classes, full charge shot + minor shot right after for a one shotting blast, focus on the classes that don't have a lot of maneuverability or are peeping from hiding spots
fast pulse shots are underrated. You can fire off one or two and then use melt beam for a consistant level of damage to a person.
it isnt rocket science but they do put her as a tougher class to master than the others because you have to do as much work as pink hair bitch.

She's really great at defense but in offense she pretty much worthless outside her teleporter.
>>337893269
sure if you are brain dead and can't dance around people without getting hit for 4 seconds
There are times I absolutely wreck shop with her, but when the other team is consciously hunting my turrets and teleporter she feels like a waste.
>>337893486
If you can somehow avoid getting hit in the open for 4 seconds with how much hitscan weapons there are in the game, maybe you're just low elo and matched with shitters.

>>337894364
SHITTING
>>337893509
Depends on how well you place them.
The ideal placement should be to deny an opponent through one of multiple passages, making sure to place them out of sight.
She is best on defence, but can be good to switch to on attack if you're attacking B and can get a teleporter near the objective.

>>337886484
Never played this game/ the post.
Her M1 can melt tanks in seconds, combine that with turret or two and you fear only headshots.
Her M2 is for ZONING and punishing stupid tanks and other people behind shields.
Sentries do medicore dmg but they have like 0 sec targeting and slow things down. Great Genji/Tracer trap.
Shield buff is lacking....but if it go back to 50pts of regenerating shiled she will be close to OP.
>>337886123
How fast does she get ultimates, generally? I know it'll depend on how well you fight without dying but if it takes 5 minutes to put down a teleporter that will be exploded by a tracer immediately then why fucking bother?
>>337887790
What if all ultimates charged at the same rate, but just had different amounts to reach?
Like, a quick charging ultimate only needs to hit 100 points to charge. A slow one needs 250. When you change class, you still keep your ultimate points but may or may not be able to use them depending on how much you got.
>>337894421
PORTAL
>>337885574
She should be a defender/builder
Fuck no. Symetra can nearly block off some areas to keep people from flanking if you put up all your turrets.
>>337886159
TELEPORTER
My impression of Symmetra is that she's good on defense during the beginning of the game.
You set up a shit load of mini-turrets and shield up everybody on your team, but then when that shit fails you switch to another hero because you don't have the luxury of time to setup another amazing defense again.
>>337902425
having one or two turrets won't set you back but having them all blown up will fuck with Symmetra.
Which is why you never put more than 2 turrets in the same area. Spread apart smartly they'll still fuck with everyone as the slow effect will make them easier targets and also the laser will distract them for a couple seconds. all turrets in the same area? Oh whoops here comes pharah shooting a rocket, or D.Va blowing up her mech, or Winston looking in their general direction
>>337902425
That's exactly it. Symmetra shines in early defense and late offense.
