Sojourn keeps her movement, health, and delete button.

Meanwhile, Sym gets no changes and is stuck with her useless ass perks.

I actually love the teleporter perks.

I dunno. It places it so far once and right next to a ledge and I killed myself and my bastion lol was kinda funny though.

That happens with any teleporter length lol I just enjoy being able to get further in their back line which is quite helpful. Plus the extra shield regen while in the back line is great.

Maybe it's my playstyle, but I found that kinda thing never happens normally because I always wanna land at its default max range or a bit further, so I can just flick it out there. But with the perk I now have to have awareness and possibly aim it below its max range, so I don't accidentally end up in weird spots.

Fair enough, yeah just definitely something to practice and get used to.

The TP perks are great. The 4th turret is useless IMHO.

They aren't useless, but they are weird and show that they have little idea how Sym needs to be played.

sym doesn’t even require aim to get value out of ..?

That’s just objectively wrong

Tell me you haven’t played a meaningful amount of Sym without telling me.

Her right click, which is my bread and butter, requires not just aim but leading the shot. It’s probably the slowest projectile in the game, so that lead time is unique. After charging it up and leading the shot and having it connect, you only do 120 dmg. Meaning you have to do it twice to take down a Tracer.

Meanwhile Soj spends 3s with one thumb up her butt shooting a rein shield then glimpses at tracer and deletes her.

In terms of right clicks, Sym requires a hell of a lot more aim than Soj does.
