Why the fuck is she considered a healer, she doesn't have a single heal move?

She's more of a builder then half the actual builders, her occupation outside of war is literally ARCHITECT!

She's a great defender, and that's where she should be categorized.
>>
>>339036252
She also has a teleport that increases team mobility, another function of support that they all have (besides Zenyatta.) Lucio has movement speed increase to increase mobility to the front, Mercy can revive people at the front, instead of having them run back, and Symmetra can set up a teleporter (arguably the best team mobility move.)

This is exactly how I felt about Zenyatta until he got POTG just by using his mouse 1 attack with his purp orbs. I didn't realize he literally does a shitload of damage if you can aim.
>>
>>339037442
She's good on Attack if you know the map well, and know where people like to go. Her turrets are perfect at cutting off flank points, even for just a little while until the genji or tracer can figure out where they're getting hurt from and destroy the turrets.

That little amount of time can occupy the flanker and allow you to push 6 v 5 (or less.)

Symmetra can be annoying as fuck with the turrets, she can fuck you up to with her laser if used right.
The teleporter gives you a huge advantage.
Her charged shoot goes through shields.

Annoying turrets, sure, but you look at hem and shoot one bullet and that's over. Her armor buff is abysmal, her alt fires is slow as fuck.

Her teleporter is clutch though

She isn't god awful but she still needs a buff.

This.

Symmetra is my second most played characters. Smart positioning of her turrets can completely melt squishies, and her alt fire locks down lanes and hallways. Not to mention the teleporter is the single most useful utility ult in the game

>>339037743
Still a better fit for defender, or when they add more heroes throw in a utility class.
Pretty sure she's only in support so the numbers aren't so odd, it would be 5 attackers 7 defenders 5 tanks 3 supports I think I'm off by 1 somewhere but you get the idea.
>>
>>339036252
the teleporter replaces a dead player with a full health player in about 10seconds. that's essentially a heal.
>>
>>339037931
Neither did I. But people need to stop posting as if she is alright and doesn't need buffs.

You really have to be functionally retarded to die to her turrets more than maybe once.

It's clearly because of this. But it may also be because you can place not one turret but 6, even though they suck

The thing is, if you want to argue it, a lot of people could be considered 'support' that don't heal, so why is she in the category? The obvious answer is her ult and the fact she can have 6 turrets out. I would say it's cuz the armor buff to but god that shit sucks.

I do kinda feel they need to make the turrets health a bit higher, not a lot, but like maybe 25hp instead of fucking 1hp

at least that way someone won't accidentally destroy all 6 turrets by accidentally lobbing a grenade/S76 rockets in the general area which of course destroys them and they had no fucking clue they were there.

Nigga if you've been placing turrets sporadically and far apart you're a fucking idiot.

they NEED to be clumped all in one place.

The idea is you put 6 turrets up in one location, but in a hard to reach/not obvious area where anyone can destroy them from afar
>>
>>339038726

There's the challenge for most people. She's mostly played on defense because that's the only time when you won't be interrupted.

Consider ending your miserable life if you're placing all of Symmetra's turrets in one place.

That's why I didn't think it would work. Can't be more obvious than right in front of the payload all on the ground.

That's why spam then down the choke hoping someone would run into it. Wallhacks help.
Also it's great way of dealing with invulns like Mei's or Reaper's. Charge it while they're invulnerable and then slap their shit at point blank.

I also got the habbit of having hers and Zenyatta's secondary charged every time I round a corner even when it's safe.

She's only ggreat to defend the first point in capture the point, then she becomes average because there's no point in using a teleporter in the base. She's useless in payload, and okish in king of the hill

It's true though.
Blizzard roles are arbitrary and stupid.
>>
>>339039231
But she's better on defense because they have a longer walk at the start, I don't like her on offense at the last point because that's a wasted character spot that could be getting kills which you need to do to push the last spot.

Eh. he's kind of right. DVa needs a buff. She's more of a flanker/pest than a straight on tank

she's closer to a tank than she is any other class though

the fact that they divided characters into roles on the roster pick probably does more harm than good though, people are retarded
>>
I usually help my team more than I do as mercy Or Lucio when I play her honestly, so if the team needs a support and no ones doing it you're getting a symmetra.

I've never had a single game with people crying over someone picking her though. I won't do it if someone else is a support character however. That's just asking to lose.

>>339039979
Boost should be kept for escaping because you're of little value when you have no mech. Sure you can chip off some HP here and there with the light gun but you can't take damage or escape or block damage any more. If you boost into the enemy you're making yourself extremely vulnerable as you cannot fire or use the shield ability when boosting. D.va needs a buff in some way. Her damage is extremely shit unless you're at point blank (where she's easy to take down because of her mech size).

Roadhog makes a pretty good tank too

Especially when your team's being retarded and nobody wants go to healer. He's good with a healer, but he can survive well without one
>>
>>339040647
people are too stringent about how to define a tank in this game when all 4 are very diverse in their roles and purpose

the only criteria that should be considered is the ability to soak damage and high health

Being a tank does not strictly mean they have to be able to stand on the front line with immunity like Reinhart. I fuck Reinhart in the ass with his shield up all day long as Junkrat but it's not going to make me call him anything but a tank.

if anything Roadhog is the iffiest one but he's also the most self-sustaining tank in the game, able to flank enemy lines while keeping himself alive. His heal is on a short CD and the animation is not long at all.

Dva's defense matrix is so short because it's purpose is to nullify ultimates like Zarya/Pharah/Mcree/76 etc. She has a shitload of health and effectively 2 lives.
>>
>>339040972
I know. But she cannot perform her core role when she does not have the mech. That was my point if you read it again.

She's not meant to perform her core role outside her mech, but rather the ability to bail out of the mech when it's destroyed is to give her a tool to stay on the front line. You get back in your mech extremely fast if you lean back and take potshots and whoever is standing in the open.

>>339037736
She is great as long as you hold your defensive position, once enemy gets past and destroys the turrets and teleporter her usefulness plummets.

I feel like she is really strong situational character and that situation is the game start setup in defense.
And that is fine, I wish more characters in Overwatch were really strong in limited ways.

I'll be interested a year or two from now if Blizzard makes the design choice to give the roster alternate weapon choices instead of just piling onto the character list.

biggest thing is to just learn what characters counter who

She isn't labeled a healer in the first place, but a SUPPORT.

the problem is that she should be in the same category as Torbjorn

it's all retarded anyways since the game classifies every character under it's paper role and it's hidden role. It's not consistent in the least.

Fuck that shit.
I don't want the pool of useful characters on each map being tiny because only certain characters are useful in certain situations. Having 1 of 4 support characters be fucking useless on 2/3 modes and only useful on the first objective by cornering off a room or some shit is awful. I'm glad you're not in charge of balance.

>>339041886
the argument is that if she could build her ultimate meter again when the teleporter is already out, you can have it up perpetually

I think the fair middleground would be to give her charge rate a buff.

The game isn't twitch based nor does it have a heavy reliance on accuracy save for a few characters like Mcree and the snipers, etc.

Learning counterpicks takes time too because you have to keep team composition in mind and communicate. Being fucked by a sniper and counterpicking against it is great, but chances are in a pug 2 other people might counterpick as well, leaving huge new vunerabilities in your comp.

Learning the maps helps tremendously too, since this game has such a heavy focus on flanking and harassing.

Just practice anon and you'll get better, I believe in you.

I find this to be pretty bullshit too.

Honestly, if you're going to keep the 6 ports till it explodes, then at least let it charge while the thing is up. Fuck having to wait 3 goddamn minutes just to have another 6 ports again

Why do you pretend to know things about characters that you evidently have never played?

This isn't TF2, you don't have 12-16 players on your team that die every five seconds. If your team is dying so fast that your teleporter charges disappear that fast then you're already getting your asses kicked so hard that it won't matter if you have 6 or 600 charges on that thing.

Doesn't she charge ult while the teleporter is out, thus being able to just pop new one out when one expires.

Honestly, I think just bumping it up to 7 would make it better. Just a tiny jump -- or have it so that Symmetra doesn't use up a spot. Realistically, why should Symmetra have to take up a spot when it is HER teleporter and she's the one that deployed it. Whenever I have a teleporter up, and I die, I feel bad using it because it means I just took the next person's spot. Keep it at 6, okay, but make it for 6 of my teammates. I as symmetra shouldn't have to take a tick off for using my own Teleporter.

Just a tiny, minor change that would at least give an incredibly minor buff to it.
