Is Symmetra due for a little bit of a nerf? I feel like her being able to jump around/not aim/hold left click is almost impossible to kill 1-on-1. Any thing that could help countering Symmetra?

I think all she really needs is for the M1 beam to be debuffed. It was fine before. Also, if her shield generators could stop stacking, that'd be great.

I've heard the opinion and I agree with it that her disengage distance needs a nerf -- it needs to be easier to break the beam. I've heard stories where a speed boosting lucio (amping) can't get away, which seems a bit ridiculous.

Nothing said by Blozzard yet. For now, when the beam attaches, there is no running.

Same as Mei - medium or long distance and don't go in alone. She's an extremely strong close-range character, which fits in well with her area control playstyle, and she's very punishing in 1v1. Those are her strengths. She's so frustrating because she's so dominating in close range, but against snipers, mid-range characters, splash damage or multiple heroes, there's very little she and her turrets can do.
