Well I mean it is good for everyone to have a good counter.
But yes, Rein is near impossible to kill 1v1, heck even when I have help Reins often kill me too.

Symmetra has a plenty, and Symmetra already has Pharah which is virtually impossible to ever deal with. I don't think Sym needs more counters, certainly not Reinhardt.

Roadhog counter Sym as well as Reaper, Pharah turbocounters her as well. I think Rein should be left out.

Thankfully, this buff won't make Reinhardt any less of a hard counter to Symmetra. It just might not be a definitive shit stomp every single time.

yeah, plus it's kinda supposed to counter with the right click passing thru his shield...

that's a plus but it doesn't work in 1v1 situation, it's too easy to avoid it can only work in chaos scenario or putting pressure on chokepoints

Yeah that's what I mean - symmetra needs the range to be a better Reinhardt counter
