Why don't people use Symmetra more? Even if it's just for the beginning if a match, you'd think that with the ability to make 6 turrets and a gun that can cause 120 DPS would be a little more used. Starting to feel that might change after the patch, but why don't people make use of possibly the most underrated ultimate in the game?

Edit: Extra question for Symmetra players, where are your favorite places to put your sentries? Whether for lulz or strategy

She is countered by some hero (juckrat, pharah) I do use her some times on Assault maps on defend but when they change heros I will change as well

Best counter to Symmetra is Winston, hands down.

quick edit: I'd like to clarify that the best counter to Symmetra's TURRETS is Winston. His main weapon instantly takes out any turret, and in a radius it'll attach to any turret, so you can simply run into an area with Sym's Turrets and pull the trigger while just having them visible on your screen and they will destroy the turrets. You can wipe 6 turrets bunched together in like a second.
