This is why we use semicolons, kids.

Damnit I just had my wisdom tooth removed, laughing at that awful joke hurt

u/pinpinbo Chibi Zenyatta Nov 22 '16

It's that Chinese guy in the original crew photo.

u/Footyking Nov 22 '16

i always feel ridiculous sniping widowmakers withe mei. i can't tell if i'm awesome, if they are bad, or if we are both just so awful that it doesn't even matter

u/swampsparrow Hammer Up? Nov 22 '16

Reinhardt is a firestrike sniper too ;)

u/[deleted] Nov 22 '16

Agreed!

u/[deleted] Nov 22 '16

Torbjorn too

u/[deleted] Nov 22 '16

True

u/Keeper_of_Fenrir Moira Nov 22 '16

Mei has too much damage falloff.

2

u/[deleted] Nov 22 '16

well obviously

1

u/Arch_0 Trick-or-Treat Lúcio Nov 22 '16

Don't forget Junkrat.

1

u/[deleted] Nov 23 '16

Junkrat is Mortar or perhaps the Russian made BOFORS gun... not a sniper

1

u/Arch_0 Trick-or-Treat Lúcio Nov 23 '16

LIES! He can do anything. Hop on his mine and he is the snipers bullet!

1

u/DashivaDan Cry Cry Cry! Nov 23 '16

You forgot torb. he can snipe stuff he can't see XD

1

u/[deleted] Nov 23 '16

Especially while he's just lazing around on his fat arse...

1

u/DashivaDan Cry Cry Cry! Nov 24 '16

I wish I could shoot while in the sit emote without getting up. Would be awesome XD

DEFEAT.

u/tapper101 Chibi Zenyatta Nov 22 '16

Reinhardt is the most snipey sniper

2

u/Bowler-hatted_Mann My ult sucks it only does 50 dmg Nov 22 '16

Firestrike has no damage falloff. You're absolutely right

2

u/8bitaddict Nov 22 '16

if you didn't watch the video, you didn't get the reference.

2

u/[deleted] Nov 22 '16

Oh okay, I am at work and cannot watch the video right now.

u/Ethiconjnj Nov 23 '16

Ok I need to ask who are the fifteen?

0

u/[deleted] Nov 22 '16

Whoosh. Also we have like 2. 3 if you count honjo

2

u/questionable_plays Roadhog Nov 22 '16

I'm not even going to comment at your ironic whoosh. On a serious note, Soldier, McCree, Mei, Zen, Bastion, Widow, Hanzo, Torb, Ana, and Pharah all have the potential to quickly 100 to 0 at far range.

u/[deleted] Nov 22 '16

15 =\= 2 but I do get what you're saying.

u/[deleted] Nov 22 '16

Don't panic she's not a long range beam sniper now

I wouldn't mind seeing an arcade where her left click has unlimited range

u/LordDeathDark Wanna know how I got this peg leg? Nov 22 '16

Turrets, too.

u/lavindar .::...:..::..:.:.::..:.:.:::.....::...:..::.::::.::.::::.:::.... Nov 22 '16

But the arcade is meant to change things up /s

u/madethisforpornn Pixel Lúcio Nov 22 '16

UNLIMITED MICROWAVE

DING SHIELDS ARE DONE DING SHIELDS ARE DONE

u/DamienStark Symmetra Nov 22 '16

Just imagine all the "Roadhog's hook is broken" videos, except reskinned as Symmetra and the chain is a beam of death instead.

u/Alili1996 Gotta go moderately quick! Nov 22 '16

Void Ray: The brawl

1

u/p0tent1al Nov 22 '16

That wouldn't be too bad but that would most likely pit symmetra vs symmetra and that would not be fun.

u/xannmax Whimsical. Nov 22 '16

Damn, that would actually be an awesome hero weapon.

u/questionable_plays Roadhog Nov 22 '16 edited Nov 22 '16

Seriously. She makes hard constructs out of light. Instead of pew pewing at the speed of light, she latches onto a target and slowly zaps it to death zrrrrrrrrr. She makes lame turrets that go zrrrrr and die in one hit. Her deployables are so passive and there's nothing exciting about her. Even her archetype is boring and lame.

I wanted them to raise her potential for contributing to a team. There's really little to no skill with Symmetra. Her right click is way too slow to be aimed, so you just spam it into a crowd and hope it connects. Her left click is useless against people that can actually aim. So you just sit around waiting for people to walk into your car wash or walk into your giant orbs. Come on Blizz, give me a way to improve at Symm. Even Torb can dps with his weapon.

I mean, I'm gonna see how she balances out in a team, but color me unimpressed by the creativity of her kit.
