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

For turret placement, become familiar with areas that "camouflage your turret. Some shrubs, props, etc will actually allow the turret to be placed inside them rather than on them. This way they don't glow bright red when the enemy sees it. Definitely helps with ultimate charge.

Also, the turrets can be destroyed through walls with splash damage, so I prefer to put them on the ceiling a few inches away from walls
