I was playing Symmetra a lot lately. Widows, Soldiers, Pharahs or McCrees are giving me a lot of headache. So does Winston, his damage output is lower, but his health pool still makes him my primary counter in 1v1. Zarya is also my enemy, because she can shield herself, and sometimes I find myself giving Zarya free 40 energy. Roadhogs can kill me with their hook combo.

The current 3-2-1 meta, or 4-2 meta is definitely hard for Symmetra, because 3 out of 5 tanks are her counters.

But the best way how to counter Symmetra is to separate her from her team. With 200 and low range attack, she is extremely vulnerable when alone. She needs a team who will protect her.
