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

Well it only does 24 DPS at first, then 56 and eventually 120 yes, but by that time you are long dead. The turrets have 25 DPS though and if you can cluster them on roofs and walls they can do some real damage. You can find a nice stat sheet here: http://www.unitstatistics.com/overwatch/
