Overwatch’s Symmetra mains haven’t had an easy go of it. Any time they play their favourite character, they run the risk of getting harassed or reported. This year offered potential salvation in the form of a huge overhaul to the character. But even after that, things haven’t changed much in Symmetraland.
If you try to open up Overwatch today, you'll have to download a patch. The Symmetra rework from support to DPS is now live, and boy oh boy does the internet have opinions about it.
Today on Highlight Reel we have interplanetary Symmetra strategies, Vampyr glitches, bike flips, and much more
Symmetra's rework has been blowing Overwatch players' minds. For some fans, their favourite part is her new voice lines.
The much-anticipated rework for Overwatch's Symmetra is on the game's test server, and it's already clear that Overwatch will look pretty different when it's released in full. As one of the most exhaustive hero reworks yet, Symmetra's new toolkit is significantly more tactical. And, finally, developer Blizzard reclassified Symmetra as a defence hero, not a support.
Symmetra mains are gearing up for yet another major overhaul, again. And judging by the comments from Blizzard developers, the changes being tested will end up being the most significant - because some of the changes will impact the Vishkar architect's core identity and her most divisive ability: her auto-aim beam of death.
Despite striving for order and balance in all things, Symmetra has always been the odd woman out on Overwatch's hero roster. On the verge of yet another rework, Symmetra mains - often the butt of verbal abuse - say that despite everything, they don't want her to change all that much.
Overwatch's Halloween event has been announced, along with new spooky skins. While there are a lot of great new skins on offer, the fandom has already been freaking out over Symmetra's Halloween skin that depicts her as a dragon.
Overwatch's Symmetra overhaul is live on the game's PTR, and people are really putting her new kit through its paces.
For a little while, Blizzard's acknowledged that Symmetra is too much of a situational hero. Now they're doing something about that.
