Of all the characters in Overwatch, it’s Symmetra that has faced the biggest identity crisis. A not insignificant feat considering she’s been present since the vanilla version of the game shipped. While her current kit, composed of an auto-aiming beam weapon and set of turrets, fare well in low-level play - and, as such, are great for beginners to the game - Symmetra doesn’t exactly hold up once things gets competitive. She is, in fact, the only hero so far to not be picked for an Overwatch League match. Ouch.
Symmetra mains may have something to rejoice over soon, however, as Kaplan and the team have proposed an extensive rework of the architect. Speaking on the Blizzard forums, Geoff Goodman detailed several of the potential modifications to Symmetra - the tweaks represent the biggest changes to a hero in Overwatch to date. Most notable among them is the chance that she will be moving from a support to defense role in line with her new abilities.
Come on Blizzard - how about a single-player Overwatch game?
To fit into the defense role, her kit is getting a significant overhaul, too. The team is proposing a fleet of beefier turrets that you can fire onto walls or buildings, while her teleporter ultimate would become a regular ability with a cooldown.
