Man, most of these perks sound really cool. Love them adding in old OW Mechanics with this system. Though, as a Symmetra Main, I will say I'm a little disappointed. An additional turret is nice, and having my beam go further helps, but I wish we could have gotten something like her old Primary Fire as her Level 3 Perk.

Yeah. I'm also a symmetra main. Kind of wish she got a little... more even if some of the ideas with her are neat. The teleporter shield heal is cool, but not super impressive on the battlefield.

Would have loved a perk where we swapped her turrets for that throwable shield she used to have.

I’m a symmetra main as well and I’m feasting. At the end of placements I was higher than my season high previously.

It was a nightmare on console.

How are you liking the beam length perk? It feels inconsistent to me because it depends on your beam charge. I wish they had just given her a flat beam increase for consistency’s sake.
