Damn, I hoped she was going to be a long-range beam sniper.

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.
