Symmetra is lawful evil because she does terrorism so she can get her way to "save" people with her companies contracts. She even set out to use her superior technology to purposely blackmail a dude so she could force the contract on him

Widowmaker is Neutral Evil as hell. Shes a brainwashed, cold hearted (literally), no feelings(literally), assassin who murdered who own husband of 10 years in bed, and now does acts for her masters willingly without question because she doesn't know any better.

Symmetra is just lawful. She has no idea about all the horrible stuff her company does. She was effectively kidnapped by them and is sheltered from the truth so she stays loyal. Even still she's had her doubts about them. She only wants to help people, and she believes that she's doing so, but she wonders if maybe she's causing more harm than good.
All it would take to get her to turn on her company is a chance meeting with Lucio.

If they genuinely believe they're accomplishing the greater good then they hit one of the many common grey areas of D&D morality. Ultimately in those circumstances it's just up to the DM at what point they're so misguided they jump to Evil. Really this discussion is mostly just fueled by how shit the 3x3 is at morality.

He also goes into alert mode automatically whenever he sees someone and tries to kill them

>Hanzo is/was a criminal
Exactly, he's shown to be p neutral because he's an ex-criminal but doesn't fight for good or evil now, likely just for himself and against his brother

He literally turns down Widowmaker's offer to join Talon to restore his clan's honor by saying "at what cost"
>>
>>339399651
Mostly the small lore blurbs each character has (see the wiki), and the in-game interactions.

For instance, neither Reaper or Mercy's page has a direct link to each other, but in game it's implied that Mercy was the one who brought Reaper back from the dead but fucked up the process and made him a monster.
>>
>>339398515
Not objectively sure, but how we perceive reality is always subjective, and so is morality.

>>339397235
>Symmetra is lawful evil because she does terrorism so she can get her way to "save" people
If someone is doing a smaller evil for a greater good, it hardly makes them evil; See: Soldier 76.

She's autistic, and she's done the math. The math states she can help more people with a few dirty deeds.

Burning down a ghetto with the people still inside because they couldn't legally take control of it is not "smaller evil"

Taking over neighborhoods under the pretense of restoring them and then putting the inhabitants under strict corporate enforced laws while exploiting them for cheap labor is not "Greater good"

But she didn't burn down the ghetto, her company did. All she was doing was trying to dig up dirt, and when she failed to find dirt her company set a literal fire instead of a legal fire.

She asked if they did it and they denied it, too.

She may be second guessing her being in the company, but that's about it.

>>339401346
I don't know if we're still talking about D&D morality or something broader at this point, but purely in terms of D&D, Lawful Evil implies a certain amount of malice; that you also enjoy the bullying, on top of whatever retroactive justifications you might tell yourself. Lawful Neutral entities can be plenty ruthless.

I even potentially agree those actions will have the intended consequences.

He randomly goes into attack mode around people and starts trying to kill them, hence why he is a hermit.

Hanzo isn't lawful, if he was he wouldn't have broken the rules of his clan. Being a wandering assassin doesn't exactly scream lawful, either.

Metzin got ahold of her and has already started her "corruption" path.
>Chris Metzen has hinted at Symmetra possessing ulterior motivations. Symmetra is not an "evil" character in the same vein as Reaper or Widowmaker, though her actions could lead individuals within the setting to view her as a villain.

I meant, like, waaaaaayyyy moreso than Overwatch. OW actually has some semblance of lawfulness and morality to at least a few the characters. TF2's are all undevoted psychopaths.

>le metzen boogieman
We're talking about established lore, not your headcanon of what the character is going to do.

Symmetra is Lawful Neutral, she cares more about making the world a better place statistically than morals or evils.
>>
>>339402498
Fun discussions come out of them, and lo, here we are in a discussion forum.
>>
>>339402548
that was an actual quote from metzin. Thats not head canon nor boogyman.
>>
>>339402653
Yes, because people talk about themselves in the third person.

Besides, that "path of corruption" hasn't started yet, and we're discussing established lore. Please leave with your headcanon.
>>
>>339402653
Even that Metzin quote perfectly well describes a LN character. LE implies malice.
>>
>>339402325
Bastion randomly goes in and out of assault mode when around human beings and tries to kill them, so he is definitely chaotic neutral.

Again, Symmetra isn't evil, just really lawful and views the world as statistics and math rather than morals and emotions, being autistic and not really understanding other people that well.

>We have “Symmetra”, who has the technology– we call it like hard light technology. She is able to weave hard-light constructs and kind of creates turrets and teleporters and things all over the map, and a support role for her group. She literally weaves reality together from light and so she is definitely the kind of person who believes she is shaping a much better world.

Its not head canon shit. Their going the "trying to do good by evil methods". Its arthas tier corruption. Im sorry you cant accept that all metzin writes is corruption.

No, LE and evil in general implies selfishness. The goal of an evil character is not "fuck those guys", its "i'm getting me some, what those guys get don't matter". You could have not one bit of hatred or malice and still be an evil character if you value yourself too far above others. Pride is the ultimate sin.

>No, LE and evil in general implies selfishness. The goal of an evil character is not "fuck those guys", its "i'm getting me some, what those guys get don't matter".
Doesn't at all describe Symmetra. And I disagree, there's a certain necessary aspect of bullying or "build myself up by tearing you down" inherent in Evil that's similar to malice or misanthropy.
