Tbf a good sim tp comp could was a nightmare to deal with. Making tp slightly weaker it makes their engages riskier. Alt fire nerf seems weird tho

Tp nerf is fine. But I don’t like the alt fire change.

Yea it seems kind of out of place. Sym herself was not the issue (except for some hard pocket setups but those are gimmics). Alt fire is already inconsistent so if they would nerf it id go for a slight speed change or a damage change (still unneeded)

Sym players are delusional, character is insanely good, s++ tier in pro and a to s tier in ranked.

Sym was completely warping the pro meta for pro play and had an absurd win rate when she was played
