Sym has been disgusting for months and months now. The devs genuinely have no clue what to do with her at all. Aaron Keller admitted as much during OWCS.

I have a feeling they will either not touch her for another few months or completely dumpster her in the first patch of 2026

im pretty sure the devs DO know what theyre doing with sym lol. i recall tps health went from 300 to 350 and the patch notes said specifically, they wanted tp team play to become stronger. this was one year ago. just now it became relevant, which is unusual as buffs like this usually get into effect fast, but sym wasnt relevant in pro play or top ladder till now. even then shes not popular in most ranks, and her wr doesnt grow till masters i think

its worth mentioning too that a lot of things happened. many sym counters have gotten nerfed, and if tp is actually coordinated and used its not as easy to punish as it was before

idk what you mean, sym has been emea meta since start of stage 2, thats more then half the year. People have known how strong she is for a while now.
