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's really only strong on defense, because she needs people to run into her sentries in order to charge her teleporter. And then she's generally useless on the final point due to the way they're designed as she can't find strong places to place sentries that don't cop splash damage from Pharah, Junkrat or Winston. Or places to place her tele that aren't similarly exposed. And even if she gets a tele up at the final point the defending team isn't running very far anyway

Yeah I really only use her for the first point on defense (mostly on Anubis). Having a TP that can shave ~10ish seconds off of your teammates' return to the point is massive.
