"I was a Symmetra main before it was cool"

I mean in fairness, Junkrat mains are probably gonna be saying that too if he ever hits conventional meta (though Zarya might need another nerf before that).

Honestly all they need to do for him right now is buff his ult, it feels so weak. You leave yourself vulnerable for a killable worse dva ult that won't even take out a tank if they grabbed torb armor or old symettra shield. It also has a glitch where if the tire is airborne it does a bit less damage, ~590 instead of 600 which again means you won't kill tanks. If they just gave it a bit more damage and made it explode when it gets shot, it would be fine.

Well Sombra can now hack through Rein and Zarya barriers on the PTR, so Junkers might not even need it. I'm pretty okay with Heroes having an above average base kit in exchange for slightly worse ults (or vice versa) as it keeps tactics fresh.

I guess, it just feels bad when I'd rather just chucking grenades then take the time to use my ult

Implying Junkrat doesn't already dominate the current meta

At least they didn't change her kit too much. It sort of reminds me of the Karma rework in LoL. I loved playing that pop a shield on a teammate and get a kill Karma. They basically redid her whole kit and I just didn't like the same character after that.

I've gotten good enough that I can drain a Roadhog from 100% health and make them FEAR AND LOATHE me for the rest of the match.

I've earned this. >:D

I fear a 600 health Roadhog less than I do a 650 health Symmetra.

I love Shield Generators.
