i was never good enough at competitive games for it to matter but i do envy those lucky few who hone their craft 12 hours a day instead of educating themselves and finding love

i never feel like i understand what range i'm supposed to be at when i try genji. he has the spread shuriken alt-fire, so maybe i'm supposed to get up close with him? but i get creamed when i try...

it just feels like you need a LOT of mechanical/twitch skill to reach basic competency with him, much more than most characters.

YI think you harass with the regular attack and once someone is sufficiently isolated you get on them and use the shotgun attack and jump around and be crazy so no one can hit you. But yeah that means you need good aim.

genjis very high skill. you need to be precise and also lead your shots while flying around everywhere to deal less damage than the other offense classes

Just thought of an epic symmetra buff... Make her gun repair armor and make regular healers not able to heal armor. And then make torbs armor buff a permanent thing like symmetras shield

Theyre totally reworking symmetra Like giving her different moves and stuff. They said it in a vid.

Making Symmetra a pocket healer for DVa and Rein would be retarded Larry

I like playing her a lot but unfortunately she's really dependent on the team not being full of retards. There were so many loving maps where I respawned and see other people on the spawn room not going to the teleport. Idiots!!!!

They need to make symmetra more viable in late game. I always run her on defense at the beginning because that teleported is major when you get it up, but it loses efficiency when you are defending the last point.

She's way better on KOTH maps cause the enemy team is less likely to hunt for the teleport and you can just put all your loving turrets on the objective room instead of putting on the various routes the attack team is taking.

i think its fine if shes mechless dva for the ult, but turning into a little dps after "dying" feels really awkward. its also especially annoying for the enemy after the dva buffs cause now that you've finally taken out this big hunk of armor+barrier you also have to deal with a tiny bouncy target trying to pop you. should just have a little more armor and outright die

feels a little weird to have mechless dva only appear in the moment between firing the ult & calling a new mech, but that might just be because i'm used to the current system. a character who can die twice is cool, but makes more sense without 600 mech hp

maybe change her ult on the last point or something. like replace the teleport entirely with something else

I like this idea but I'm not sure what it would be. Maybe add a couple more placeable turrets?

Make her turrets fire energy balls like her alt-fire while her ult is up?

maybe make her turrets impervious to damage for a few seconds, idk. i like playing symmetra but once you're defending the last point almost any other character is a better choice

This sounds highly unreliable and wasteful of a character slot.

My only problem with Dva is if you kill her and she uses the ult, she can get her mech back immediately.

I thought she had to kill someone with the ult to get it back instantly.

nope, the mech just needs to blow up. so if you use it as the mech is going down it's a second life

THeres a bunch of crazy PTR changes but they said that most of them probably wont make it onto live servers and its more of a hardcore testing thing. S76 and D.Va got huge buffs also for instance

The Torb changes sound really retarded. Scouring for metal after every team fight is legitimately fun
