I have an honest-to-God question.

Sym’s beam is kinda op right now, which is why it’s getting nerfed. The bug fix made it so much more consistent which is great, but now it’s a little overtuned. It’s definitely disappointing to Sym players to get a nerf right away, but I think most everyone knows the beam is a little too good and easy for randos who don’t play her to use.

Other than that I feel like Sym’s whole kit isn’t stronger than any other hero. Yes she has some really strong and frustrating abilities, combos, and strats, but so does every other dps.

Sym is an underestimated hero who is actually strong, which results in the whole-enemy-tilting you’re referring to when someone knows how to actually use her strengths. But obviously an entire team can get tilted when there’s an enemy who’s really good at their hero no matter what their hero is (Widow, Mei, Doomfist, Hanzo are some big culprits). Her kit is also conducive to powerful sneak attacks which are generally more tilting... it’s just the way she works (and has always worked tbh).
