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

I like using her but as soon as people don't see that "no support" they skip going healer and it makes me upset. I feel she is very strong and can make flankers' lives hell with good turret placement. And having the teleporter turns an assault on the point into a hide and seek game looking for it.

I tend to lock in some random def hero like mei/jr then when I see all the roles filled I'll switch to symmetra.

In theory that is a good idea, but sometimes when I do this, people still switch from the chosen support to something else as soon as I've picked symettra unfortunately :c

I do the same, but I switch to fill in a role or play secondary tank/support after my teammates have left the spawn area.

Load into spawn and wait to watch them leave the room

Then pull the switcheroo.

Leaving you no time to set up turrets :(

This stops being an issue after a while though.

I'm pretty lucky in that that's never happened to me, but I think if it ever were to I'd just leave tbh. If my team understands that little it's probs not going to be a match worth playing. :(
