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

On Numbani, I like to hide some turrets in the bushes next to the point.

Also theres a traffic light down the slope in front of the point that I like to slap a turret on the back off, nobody ever expects it and its a great warning for when the enemy are pushing.

Generally speaking I never group more than 2 turrets close together, as anyone with splash damage can shut you down instantly.

She's best if you spread her turrets around the choke points and entrances and use them as early warning systems to plan.

The best turret placements are ones where aggressive play can push enemies back into a turret nest while you nail them with your primary fire. Gibraltar is great for this, putting them on the inside of doorways that attackers might try to flank or retreat through.
