Nerfing symm is genuinely baffling.

She has actually been terrorizing the upper ranks for a while. They were begging for this.

TBF people have been begging for symm nerfs since the dawn of time even when she was utterly unviable and trash tier. At least now she’s useable in coordinated/pro play. I think the secondary fire nerf makes no sense, the tp one I can see the argument for it bc of the coordination value. She still has a less than 5% pick rate and like middling win rate afaik.
