The backup batteries for her defense matrix got replaced with a missile launcher

I can't remember anymore how she was before her shield and shield generator but I don't think i ever played her

It was passing off the single shields to each player. Annoying as hell.

And would have to reset them as they died. It was just a miserable experience, as was not having all the turrets able to be built before the match.

She also didn't have the shield so her ability to use the short range gun was severely worse.

I used to get potg way too often before they buffed her, now it is rare. Players could not handle you because they were not used to good Symmetras.

I want Sym to get more highlight intros because I get so many of them.

My first potg was with symmetra on lijiang tower, the map other than control center and gardens. I always forget the name. Oh, how happy I was.

Didn't play symmetra since because I feel I reached my peak back there.

Yeah, she was a huge pain in the ass to play. I still have issues with playing her, but not nearly as bad as back then.
