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

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 gives you a shield that recharges itself

Support =/= healing

POO

its not a healer class, its support, u subhuman

She's a great defender, and that's where she should be categorized.

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.)

>be an architect
>your rep is a poo in the loo

why, indians can't into architecture at all.

Literal autist

the shield will give you autism

she heals my dick

>she's a support
>but Torbjorn isn't

We've been over this when TF2 came out ages ago. Ignore the class roles bar the tanks and mercy/lucio/Zenyatta.

>Encounter enemy Symmetra
>She actually tries to kill you

>Name is symmetra
>Not symmetrical

>have sym on attack team at Dorado
>Kindly inform them that she's not very good attacking and said to pick someone else.
>She proceeded to shit on the other team directly in the streets of Dorado, even placing strategic teles and turrets

I apologized

I suspect they realized they were short on Support classes, so they said fuck it.

>Turrets
>Hands out armor/shield like candy
>Has a replaceable support device
>Has a gun that can fuck shit up at close range but half decent at long range so they have some extra utility

Is this Torb, or Symmetra?

Tf2 comics are so much better.

>Why the fuck is she considered a healer,
Can you tell me who said that?

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.

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.)

Only one waifu and she's confirmed gay, though.

Torb, because Symmetra's turrets have shit range

She's a support, not a healer.

Miss pauling is gay?

>current year
>not being high-functioning assburger master race
What's your excuse?

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.

She is not as bad as people make her out to be.

She's Smithers to the Announcer's Monty Burns.

The teleporter. No seriously that's the only reason.

She's a good tech support

The soldier's waifu doesn't look gay

Shes also not as good as people make her out to be

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.

Can't wait for the next one to drop in 2018
On the next Blue Moon

The only problem have with her is that her shields are pretty useless. It doesn't feel like they stop enough damage.

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

>mfw baddies call Symmetra terrible/worst hero in the game

I never said she was best or so.

I can win 1v1 against any class except maybe mcree and mei as symmetra, her main gun with auto aim is op

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.

the teleporter replaces a dead player with a full health player in about 10seconds. that's essentially a heal.

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.

>no one hunts down Symmetra since they think she's weak as shit and not worth worrying about
>no one questioning where this sudden influx of recently dead enemies are practically teleporting in from

>this is what symmetra players actually believe

The turrets are more of a suuport dmg they are not meant to kill someone.

It's always funny when there is such a group attacking each other and you run around as sym and melt their health faster than anyone else. And no one really notices you.

>mfw actually kills you

I've been killing a lot of players with the gun alone. It'll happen to you eventually.

>The teleporter

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.

>architect
that's not how you spell 'toilet witch' user

>Teleporter expires
This is pure fucking bullshit.

Designated

Only it expires by the limit amount of usage on teleporter up to 10, I think?

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

Yeah well, I mean maybe you don't solo queue but you should see morons in that thing.

>hanamaura
>enemy symmetra puts turrets against the entrance to the B location, but on the wall so you don't see them until you are literally under the entrance and they're hitting you

>pretty smart
>ally tells team there are 6 there
>everyone avoids it like the plague OR continues to run through there, WITHOUT destroying a single one
>finally go with the guy who called it out (mercy) and destroy all 6 in 3 seconds

And this is how Symmetras get 35 eliminations

Why does symmetra have such a hot body but also a disgusting ugly manface?

6

>make teleporter not expire
>roll
>other team have no choice but to run sym too

>waahhhaaa she doesnt look like my animes

This is what annoys me about her. She is only 'good' if your enemy is awful.

I have had games where I get bodied trying to play her because the enemy team is competent.

>g-git gud

Yeah no I mean it's just simply not possible there are characters who are bad in a game with 21 of them, you're right.

>place her turrets in spots most people wont find.
>always get destroyed or enemies never go to them
How do I git gud here

She's a builder with a support ult.

>manface
you must know some really pretty men then

>playing as sym

>Reinhardt pulls up barrier and trying to walk in
>my secondary fire just goes right through the shield and I kill him without ever letting him close
>teleporter is bringing teammates and I'm racking up kills

Symmetra is god-tier at control point if she gets a minute to set shit up

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.

how greasy do you think her poos are

i'm asking for a friend, ha ha

>my secondary fire just goes right through the shield and I kill him without ever letting him close

I keep hearing this. How much damage does it do? Does it only take a few shots?

That'll be overkill, user.

They'll quit while ahead against 5 symmetra's turrents going at 25hp per x 6

>

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

>if she gets a minute to set shit up
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.

> destroy all 6 turrets
Consider ending your miserable life if you're placing all of Symmetra's turrets in one place.

not him but it's funny to do it once a while, actually kill someone before able to reach slowly at the turrets to get rid of.
>ded

ive been killed as D.va by her auto aim shit, while she runs around me.

I did place them together, on walls and backsides of pillars and shit. Sometimes, as others have said, the enemy team isn't full of morons. But in anycase

>but in a hard to reach/not obvious area where anyone can destroy them from afar

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.

min damage is 25 and max is 125 I think. I mean, they're slow and you're meant to avoid them but god help you if can't dodge the slowest projectile in the game because they will eat you alive so fast

>is op

Nothing Symmetra does is "OP"

People are missing out. Being able to get allies to the payload faster on the attacker side is super worth playing her

Who does this?

>go near opponenet
>proceed to absorbing gun at him/her
>opponent starts to shoot
>keep holding the gun while zig-zagging
>get damaged but minimal due spraying and miss
>opponent is kill

>see corner ahead
>walk to corner while charging alt fire
>turn corner with full charge and let go
>S76 eats a full charge in the face as he's turning the corner and melts as my autoaim gun finishes him off

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.

> great defender
> useless ulti

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

>random game
>someone picks Dva
>other guy "we need a tank"
>we have Dva
>"she isn't a tank stupid"

It's true though.
Blizzard roles are arbitrary and stupid.

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.

She isn't.

if that's the argument then Winston shouldn't be considered one either, since his main role is harassment

They are right. No reason to not pick a rein most of the time.

>Not knowing Indians were the first to utilize plumbing
>Not knowing they built beautiful bath temples before the Egyptians even existed

D.Va is literally an offensive character. Her role is to fly around fucking shit up in close range

she is

>"there are better tanks so she is not one"

that's a poor argument

Reinhart is immensely better at the role but that doesn't make her not one

see

>Join game
>Two snipers
>"lel its fine we defense"
>proceed to get rekt

You aren't a good sniper. Stop playing sniper.

>Encounter enemy reinhardt
>Has his shield up
>Proceed to orb him to death
It's seriously surprising reinhardts STILL haven't caught on that the orb goes through their shield. Even if they die because of it they don't seem to realize it.

you quoted the wrong post friend

there is only one true tank in this game

>Symmetra's turrets firing glowing orange beams that buzz incredibly loudly, and take one shot to kill
>Yet for some reason, they work
Overwatch players are so terrible.

Correct.
The only proper Tank tank is Reinhardt.
Others are just random roles with shitton of HP.

>tfw 1v1'd a D.Va as a Mei and won

Mei
Bae

DVA can take out a Level 2 Turret point blank by herself with not only the turret shooting at her, but probably like 2 other heroes shooting at her too. This is without her ult (although thats a useful as way to get rid of sentry nests too).

500 health is a shit load of fucking health

I wish her gun just had a heal and hurt mode, then she could be a straight clone of combat girl.

the amount of shitters I find in randoms is starting to make sense

Mei can 1v1 anyone but that D.Va was stupid, shoud could just fly awway

>orange

they're blue tho
