>>342274580
Self selected sample. She's only good on maps like Anubis and Hanamura with their insane chokepoints and long travel time for defense to the first objective. Those maps also favor the defender so heavily that pretty much any team should have a win rate like that.

They're like if Engie could build multiple mini-sentries that functioned like little Nataschas. I'm not even saying they're overpowered. They're just anti-fun (and video games are meant to be fun).
>>342277685
Are you really that stupid?
>>342277617
I was right.
>>342277732
Hahah fucking this. Symmettra is way too beautiful. There are pretty indian women but they don't have white features.
>>342277617
Why exactly is she not defense?
>>342275212
Oh that's nothing, I've played with a symmetra who placed the teleporter in our spawn because she thought it worked like the TF2 teleporter. She was level 35.
>>342277881
They're fun for me when I place them and kill your dumb, unobservant ass.
Should they just take away the enemy guns, since they're "anti-fun" for you, you fucking casual?
>>342277841
Even worse when someone picks her on Attack.
>But muh teleporter and shields
Good luck getting one when there's barely any situation where your turrets would work. Also fuck your shields.
>>342277520
healing is not the only thing that SUPPORTS, dumbass.
>>342278024
Because you can use her as a support.
The teleport and shields.
>>342277732
To be fair her in game model does look quite indian. All the art drawn of her is like you said but in game she does have that bollywood look about her.
>torbjorn and symetra on defense.

You can switch to one of Symmetra's counters like junkrat, phara, or Winston.

>>342278259
I work in a hospital and its really sad when you meet people whose story and symptoms changes depending on who's asking them for maximum attention.
>>342274580
Because she's mostly picked in low skill games where a coin flip gets you similar win/lose rates.
>>342278504
Her turrets are defense, her teleporter is utility. Do you honestly think her shitty ass, 25 shield justifies her being a support?
Anyone else fucking love playing against Reinhardts who don't seem to realize that Symmetra shoots right their shields?
is there a comprehensive guide somewhere for all the maps worth picking symmetra on where to place your turrets?
>>342278453
the people who stack them all in one room piss me off so fucking much
they never get their teleporter up until the point is fucking lost because they get no damage and one fucking pharah wipes them all out
2-3 per spot, and spread out. Its not fucking hard
>>342277732
>mfw retards actually think this
I feel as though her shield needs to be changed since 25 hp isn't shit in this game.
>>342278626
Yes. Its revenge for all the mongoloid reinhardt charge kills Ive dealt with
fucking stupid hero
>>342278592
that's because she's a defensive support, jackass. shields and a teleporter are used to support the team. you fucking kids nowadays don't know your fucking vocabulary.
>>342278016
>symmetra
>beautiful

Her in-game model is the ugliest female one in the game.
And northern india was literally populated by aryans.
Southern indians can look good but symmetra doesn't
Basically, you're wrong about fucking everything
>>342278738
I agree, it's kinda useful for Tracer and that's about it.
>>342278713
pic unrelated i hope?
>>342278592
>i say what is support and not the devs!!
+25 shield which regenerates is good. The teleporter is a game winner.
>>342278649
I usually but 5 in near areas and leave one turret to cover flanks. So I'll see it damage someone or destroyed and them someone's coming.
>>342278386
A teleporter nearby a capture point is infinitely more useful on defense than a Mercy who's able to revive one or two people every ultimate. Teleporter has six uses and charges insanely fast. Her six sentries can be used to lock out rooms, slow down pushes, and generally help kill people on the capture point. Not only that, but an aggressive Symettra is great at picking off straggling enemies and she can even 1v1 certain tanks with ease. Plus her secondary fire acts as good area denial and can go through Reinhardt's shields to deal some decent damage
but hey, mercy can heal a single target and shoot her little pew pew gun, so useful
>Guy is last to pick

>>342278713

>>342274580

I don't need to say what happened next. Neither switched characters for the whole match.
>>342278883
Then make a new category. Why is she in support only? Torbjorn should be a support, right?
>>342278592
I do agree that I think Blizzard should at least put a "No Healer" flag up rather than "No Support." I feel she's as much a support as Torb except with a utility ultimate.
>>342278738
they had it on 50 in the closed beta and it broke the game.

poor bait. but have a you anyway! ;D
>>342274580
That's just because bad people don't pick her, they only pick heroes like Genji, Hanzo, Widowmaker etc.
>>342278626
>Reinhardt covering team to push
>150 damage 4 players at once
>they scatter and the push falls to bits
Feels so fucking good.
>>342278386
I fucking love her shield, 25 extra max health is ridiculous.
Any map specific places to place her turrets?
I like to put them on the laterns facing the point in hanamura on point B
They are pretty hard to hit without actually getting a good way into the temple and they shred anyone dumb enough to rush the front way. It's hilarious melting a charging Reinhardt before he can even touch you
>>342279121
dude, believe what you want. you're stupid as shit. torbjorn has more attack power than symmetra. why make someone like that a support? use your brain, pleb.
>>342279078
You know me too well anon.
>>342279090
It should be 50 like it was before the nerf. But then people complained about tracer having 200 HP and could easily regenerate it.
So maybe do it based off class. Like offensive heros get 25, defense and support get 50,and tanks get 75.
>>342279446
He gives 75 armor.
>>342278058
Can't really use level to judge their competency, since they might have never touched Symmetra and wanted to try her out. Have to look at her profile to see how much time she has on Symmetra. If it's less 15 minutes, I'd cut them slack.
>Keep winning as Symmetra on Defense maps because of her teleporter.
>Now can't play anything else because I know we might lose if someone doesn't pick her.
Also:

>>342275310

>completely lock down the first point
>we finally lose it at overtime because people swapped out of symmetra
the best part is that the enemy team tried that when it was our turn to attack, and we crushed them as D.va s. her charge breaks the turrets if she's anywhere near them.
>>342279574
Pls no bully ;'(
it's because people who pick symmetra are already on a team with lucio or mercy. so she can poo in the loo in some corner and be irrelevant and still win
>>342279437
On hanamura defense A. I like to put two in setup on both sides of the small staircase in front of the door. Then put two on the walls of the area right on defense A. The other two near the door of A.
Point B I like to place near the bridge. I put some on the point and some near the small hallway with the big health pack.
>>342278563
No, it's because she's mostly played on defense, and when the first point is lost players usually switch to another class. If the defense on A was a success, victory for Symmetra. If it fails, loss for another hero in most cases.
>>342278453
Whats the difference between sentries and surveillance sentries
>>342278649
>2-3 per spot, and spread out. Its not fucking hard
Low MMR detected.
Spread out across a large wall at varying heights, the beams have a gigantically long range and all five will laser down people even if the furthest one is 20 feet away
Symmetra is one of my favourite characters to have in my team, her teleporter is so nice to have and 25 shield makes me survive so many encounters i wouldn't normally survive. Zarya is my absolute favourite if she puts down good ults and shields, and since she is good on both attack and defence.
>>342280120
fuck off with your tumblr art and reddit memes
>>342280236
a surveillance sentry is something you place on a side route so when it is inevitable destroyed you can tell your team there are enemies there
I'm guessing regular sentries are more for larger chokepoints where you are actively defending
>>342274580

>pharahs and tanks cry because they want to be epic too
Eat shit assholes, she has infinte damage homing beams with nearly unlimited ammo per reload.
Why would anyone not damage buff a sym?
>>342280236
It's when there's a single sentry placed on a far off lane just so the Sym can tell when someone is coming that way, as opposed to seeking any significant damage, it's best to have a couple up along with ones used for point defense.
I really like when I get to go up against a shitty Symmetra. It's fuckin' hilarious to see them just set up solitary, useless turrets in random ass places.

But I got this from 4chan. Are you implying that this imageboard is essentially the same filth?/v/ kinda is.
>>342274580

I don't think Symmetra is bad anymore but she's still not a healer. I really wish she was classified as Defense since that's what she is.
>>342280584

>>342277197
>I only play flankers
>>342279437
On Hanamura A, I place all six around the upper opening to the right of gate.
Provided your team is holding the gate well, Genjis, Pharahs, Reapers, etc. trying to squeeze though that tight opening get completely shutdown.
Stand on the platform near it spamming balls at the gate, and you can work towards a tele pretty quickly.
Don't play Symmetra on B, you're better off being Torb or Bastion at that point.
>>342279434
Which auto-regenerates, mind. As long as you stay alive, you'll auto-heal 25hp if you get hit. Almost useless for tanks but excellent for squishies like Tracer or D-VA on foot
>>342280584
>It's fuckin' hilarious to see them just set up solitary, useless turrets in random ass places.
Flanker alarms, not meant to kill.
>>342280541
because she needs to be jerking off distance away from them to do good constant damage, her right clicks are fucking shit when you can see them coming from a mile away and can move a planck-distance to the right and fucking dodge it
>>342280843
All there needs to be is a red healer team tip
>>342280879
I mean, if you read the story, you'd see I really wasn't delayed and stayed on the same route. The "time spent destroying it" was hyperbole, you see, to emphasize how minimal impact the turret had.
>>342281034
*planck length
if you can stay alive through some spam whilst spamming main yourself, and not just die whilst skirmishing alone instantly, sym heals you for 25hp every single time
i mean its not great buts its something to think about, it adds up.

>>342280995
Symmetra is ridiculously good on Hanamura B, the teleporter loses some use but the area has some really good points to put down sentries.
Symetra is one of the best offense supports. Just played russian map on offense. constantly slapping down teleporters closer and closer, eventually I put one right in that little box, 3 feet from the enemy spawn. Got 5 people through it, just watching enemies run past totally missing it as my allies pour out to cap. Throw sentries all over the point as I run past it just to piss them off and distract them. Popping people instantly by full charging, walking almost into them and firing and then mopping up the last few points with the laser.
Symetra kicks fucking ass, just start slapping teleporters down and tell your team to push no matter what because dying doesn't matter anymore.
>>342280843

She's pretty quick, though. Reinhardt's a problem with the hammer's arc but she can dance around most other classes by getting in close and skiffing.
The amount of Genjis I've raped who don't realise they can't reflect the beam is hilarious too.

>>342281353
Doesn't matter. The point of the tip is that every team needs a healer.
Also Symmetra's abilities overlap Torb's abilities heavily. Either Symmetra is defense or Torb is support.
>>342281365

>>342281393
Turrets die in one hit.
Gun has almost no range and is only 1v1.
It's only 25 squishy HP
Symmetra aiming her teleporter into the lake in Industries is hilarious.

>>342280803
You reminded me of a match i played earlier.
It was illos the ruin staged. I place a teleporter close to the point. Yet no one took it. When I pointed it out they all said.
"Well it only had 6 charges."

This.
Replace "No support" with "No healer"
Have Lucio and Mercy completely cover it, and characters like Zen and S76 do half, ie "Few healing heroes"
>>342281813
Let me guess, you think her nose is not symmetrical, right?
>>342280843
They need to remove supports from the game. The only fun that comes from playing them is that you win because the enemy doesn't have them.
>>342278524
If you have an actual team, you can do some amazing shit with that teamed up with Winston to distract them by trying to take the point and bubble/ulting away from where Symmetra comes in with her teleporter.
It's surprising how well Symmetra can enable a strong push and deny enemies of one, especially given she's a high priority target you can't ignore thanks to the laser.
>>342281621
They both do similar roles yes.
Sym+Torb+Reinhardt+Mercy+Junkrate = no fun allowed
>>342281673
The guns rightclick charge up is pretty damn good. You right her 1v1 is shit, since if the enemy runs through you to break the tether her damage goes back to shit.
>>342282692
>Not BREAKING IT DOWN
It's like you don't even know how to have fun
>>342282735
Tracer can deal with symetry pretty well since she can blink turrets and find the teleporter since tracer will always beat her in a 1v1.
>>342282941
nope. her damage only resets if you reload her gun. Otherwise it maintains it's charge indefinitely. Which is why you should always try to drain your gun instead of reloading the instant you get a free second.
>>342280285
That means they all get destroyed in one push. It's better to spread to have more areas covered so you support anyone there and help prevent/slow/warn about flankers.

>>342283172
>>342282941
whoops made a mistake. Her damage does fall off once she loses connection. but not instantly, it basically falls down as fast as it builds up, so if you can just snap it back on fast enough you'll barely notice any reduction at all.

that was rather hilarious
>>342281349
Teleporter to upper left balcony being well defended is fucking crazy.
>mfw getting potg twice in a row with symettra, attack and defense.
>>342281256
This. I love the "amazing at A, don't use at B" mentality.
There are a lot of point Bs where she does serious work. Yes, the teleporter is limited somewhat but holding choke points and breaking up cap attempts are her specialities. Most classes can't rumble with her in a tangle and you easily get 3 for 1s or more.
>>342284136
Got some advice? I can only think of left flank (balcony) as a good place to fry flankers. Right seems way too open.
>>342284136
I can confirm Hanamura B is damn good for Poo. Anubis B is pretty good too, although you must play offensively. She excels at defending the right entrance.
>>342284038
That shadow under her nose is unfortunate.
>>342281256
>the teleporter loses some use
It's still better than have none
>>342284623
I think it's fitting
She's literally hitler

You're as autistic as she is

Said no respectable player ever. Any decent player knows that Symmetra is good.
So is she actually autistic? What are the possible meanings for "the spectrum"?
>>342274580
Getting killed by this cunt and her autoaim gun is so fucking annoying. All she has to do is keep running into you while pointing in your general direction and it's over.

Put chu in your place
>>342285061
Happy now?
The reason Symmetra has such a low success rate is because Blizzard for some retarded reason put her in support, meaning people go "hey, we have a support, let's not play one"
she has almost exactly the same role as Torbjorn but does better in small corridors like Anubis
>pick sym on hana barbara on atack

>>342285560
Everyone knows it by now.
>>342285845
Clearly they don't, I've been in endless games with people on levels that are supposed to know the game and they still don't go as an extra support
>>342285845
you'd be surprised
>>342275310
I get this crap so much. I once had a game where our healer demanded we have a tank, and ragequit before the match cause we didn't have one. They never even got past the first point.
Healer/Tank isn't as needed on defense as offense. A good defense will melt people before they can really become a problem, and generally you only need a tank/healer if they have a tank heavy team.
I thought the designated shitting streets were into navels, not legs.
>>342278259
This wouldn't be a problem if every game wasn't fucking team based these days
>>342285559
>Mirror image = symmetry
Don't take chemistry classes
>>342285560
The whole classing system for the characters is retarded. I'd sooner put S76 in the support catagory than Symm. At lease he has a fucking heal, however small.
I really hope they rework Symmetra's E ability. Maybe make the 25 health shield a team-wide passive ability, and make her E some kind of heal
>>342286264
That's exactly what it is. Just horizontal.
>>342285326
To be fair, Sym is decent but she badly needs some buffs. That said, she is kinda under appreciated most times.
>>342286363
I think the idea is that the shield buff regenerates if you don't take damage, or something? Either way, it's retarded
>>342282689
but it's not you fucking faggot, she is a good hero but bitch is ugly and is normally only good for one point and or until the enemy team picks winston
>>342286515
They should def. buff her viability on offense and KotH maps. She basically has zero play on those maps
>symmtra fags get triggered thread
every time

>now everyone loves her
I told you faggots
>>342274580
>her name is symmetra
>she is super asymetric
>can't even build a toilet
>>342279030
Symmetra's face is really growing on me. I didn't like it at first, but I'm starting to come around. The super bitch face is endearing and exotic.
>>342284136
Teleporters aren't even that handicapped. For one, you can use the teles for flanking if done well. Setting a tele somewhere the enemy team doesn't expect will let your team slip behind them and take them from both sides if they're smart. Hell, even setting it outside of spawn closer to the action can shave a few moments off.
That said, she is very good at defending B points by shutting down flanking routes and areas with med kits.
>>342284436
Both sides are good for turrets, just sprinkle them about to let you know if anyone is coming.
>>342286264Psssst, kid, look up the definition of the word 'symmetrical'
>>342286916
>see someone pick Symmtra
>pick winston and make her useless
every time go poo in a different street
>>342280843
If you have a symmetra and no healer, it's not her job to change to healer, it's yours
>>342286695
Yeah I agree whole heartedly there. She definitely needs a buff to her turrets, at least in putting them down too. Every single defense map, I can only put down maybe 5 before the game starts due to her retarded 3 cap and slow ass recharge rate.
>>342286916
Sad thing is, the teleporter makes a HUGE noise if you happen to be a little close to it, let alone see an enemy with that effect for like 10 seconds, making these kinds of plays very difficult.
>>342277732
I can cherry pick too
>>342287023
Sym can go toe to toe with Winston. Especially if she sets up in a room with a health pack.
>>342286986
OK. I usually go for Torbjörn on Hanamura B if the team composition allows it.
>>342287329
>Sym can go toe to toe with winston
But that's wrong Winston is her hard counter son. Unless you are fighting a huge shitters winston will always win. His gun takes 5 seconds to kill her compared to her 9 seconds to kill him on top of winston just spraying his guns destroying every turret around him (her turrets and winstons gun have the same amount of range)
>>342286569
She is a support because she acts as support. Not only does she provide quicker access to bases through teleport and regen through sheilds, the turrets also act as similarly to surveillance, provided your Symmetra can relay with the team. You will know where the enemy will be if you secure target areas, allowing you to act sooner rather than later.
But obviously, people do not communicate or think on the basis of map-wide surveillance (like the begining of Russia, you have a teleporting/jumping character, set up a turret there and you know for sure who mighy be coming).
>attacking team
>symmetra
>hanzo
>widowmemer
>tracer
>mcree
>you
>>342287058
It really depends on the team comp. Someone playing the only tank on the team shouldn't be expected to change just because you want to play poointheloo. Likewise, Symm shouldn't be expected to change when there's 3 snipers and 2 reapers on her team. It's all about the situation and team-comp really, and honestly the fact that this simple idea still escapes some players so long after the games release baffles me.
>>342287503
Sounds more like you're going against shitty Syms. You do know she has a secondary fire, right?
>>342287563
>(like the begining of Russia, you have a teleporting/jumping character
They expect reaper, they never expect junkrat
>>342287693
>that slow orb
>hitting winston
0/10 her alt fire is only good for shit like reinhardt shield or sending down a choke point. She's a good hero but she not beat winston in any situation if you think otherwise you are an absolute retard with not much play time sorry.
>>342286854
It least someone has some good taste.
>>342279030
sauce me up family, please
>>342287846
Different guy
It's not that crazy. For the most part she's pretty much always going to be charging an orb. It's not that unusual to have a winston jump right in as it's done charging.
>>342287850
Pharah is my favorite girl but Symmetra is definitely getting up there. She's an acquired taste. But it tastes so good.

>>342288094
You answered your own question. Blizzard wants everyone to play.
>>342288021
14 hours of winston and has never happened to me and haven't see a winston doing it making it very rate witch almost never happens in any 1v1 fight winston wins vs her.
>>342287298
>he can't
>>342287846
Yeah, you've gone against shitty Syms. A good sym won't be out in the open. Meaning you're fighting her in a tiny ass area where dodging isn't very easy. Not to mention shes been spamming that shot as well, so you're going to take at least one full charged shot to the face. Further more, you can charge that and fire it off point blank, giving no room to dodge. Going one further, its usually ideal for a Sym to set up in a room that has a med kit in it as well, to both catch people trying to heal up, as well as to use it themselves. So that 5 second to kill sym is now doubled. And then we consider that Winston has to at least turn around to destroy the turrets before he even starts fighting Sym, which does give her a second to be unmolested.
So yeah, only retard here is you.
>>342287563
The problem is that all the other "support" classes might as well be called "healer", as that's mostly what they are. Symmetra can't do that, and the in-game system doesn't say "you don't have a healer" but "you don't have a support".
>>342288184
>and haven't see a winston doing it making it very rate witch almost never happens in any 1v1 fight winston wins vs her.
>>342274580
But is it really worth it when you have to play the objectionably ugliest character in the cast?
>>342288252
Faggot no if you fight her in a tiny room that means all her sentrys are in spot and will be gone within a fucking second vs winstons gun. On top of the charge time for her orb puts her in a even worse situation close up. Nigger Winston is her counter even stated by blizzard get over it.
>>342286264
>what is vertical symmetry
You are so retarded you didn't get the joke and got mad about it
>>342288272
Then pick S76 if some people stubbornly stick to Sym.
>>342288252
>charging her orb close up when her gun gets up with 120 damage pre second
You're calling other people retarded? Fucking perfect

Yeah okay man, I'm not even the guy you're arguing with and I think you're retarded.
>>342288431
Again, shitty Syms. Good Syms spread their sentries out.I've played as long as you have, and have won nearly every encounter against them.
>>342288252
winston's electric gun bounces to multiple targets so it sweeps symmetra's turrets instantly if they're even somewhat close to each other
Symmetra is amazing but I wish they'd reclassify her as defense
>>342288565
That specific situation happens literally every game.
>>342288609
>I've played as long as you have
You have 140 hours too lad? Then you should know she won't beat winston close up if her sentrs are spread out but you are in a inclosed room they won't be there to help you fight witch cuts her fire power in half.
>>342288697
no it doesn't.
>>342288548
If you're just getting the jump on someone with Sym without having any ramped up damage with your M1, it's pretty good to initiate the fight with a charged M2 right up close. Unless he's talking about charging the M2 in the heat of a fight
>>342274580
Because most Sym players I've met aren't good. Especially the ones who pick her on offense.
She's the most situational support, and the hardest to use.
