Symmetra – The Teleporting Terror (New Ice Turret Tech) | Behind The Akshon

Symmetra – The Teleporting Terror (New Ice Turret Tech) | Behind The Akshon

Symmetra may no longer be at the peak of her power when she momentarily was even considered a terror at the highest levels of play, but she still possesses a super versatile kit and damage numbers that pack quite the punch even after some nerfs on the PTR.

In today’s video, we explore the versatility of Symmetra’s kit and how you can make the most of one of Overwatch’s most unique heroes.

    “Symmetra is a high skill hero” finally someone recognises this fact.



  2. derp7274 on September 18, 2022 at 1:35 am

    So she is basically rampart oh wait



  3. Gay4MapleSyrup on September 18, 2022 at 1:36 am

    I hate the fact that blizzard is nerfing her the moment she is getting attention and people are actually playing sym. Seriously why doesn’t blizzard like sym?



  4. Jack Hudner on September 18, 2022 at 1:37 am

    Me and my mate tried teleporter bombing in our quickplay games… It’s pretty fun, but not overpowered because it can be very map-dependent.



  5. Teejaynafiejay on September 18, 2022 at 1:37 am

    Symmetra Mains where ya att!



  6. Cam on September 18, 2022 at 1:37 am

    Bro your poll of is Sym balanced has an answer she needs a buff, SHE NEEDS A NERF



  7. steven on September 18, 2022 at 1:39 am

    wait did he just say DM can eat SYmmetra beams?



  8. Mondo Coasters on September 18, 2022 at 1:40 am

    Enough is ENOUGH.
    I’ve had it with these mothafuckin bronze scrubs saying Sym takes no skill.

    In all seriousness, Symmetra’s skill cap comes with coordinating with your team to orchestrate the creative TP plays she enables. Sure, the turrets are annoying, but it takes a single Pharah/soldier rocket, Ana/junk nade, Brig/Rein swing or a Winston existing to destroy an entire TP bomb. Basically any hero with AOE damage will fuck them up pretty badly.

    She also has limited mobility, and literally no defensive ability which is what makes her such a glass cannon. If you can’t exploit these glaring weaknesses, you’re just getting outplayed.

    It doesn’t help the fact that more often than not people just ignore the Symmetra charging her beam, and by the time they acknowledge her, she’s already fully charged and decimating your backline.

    Also people say she’s unskilled as if she still had her old autoaim primary fire. Guys, come on. That shit got removed over a year ago.



  9. TheJosiahTurner on September 18, 2022 at 1:40 am

    What’s that? The pro player analysts say sym is a high skill cap character? Oh no, the hanzo mains won’t like that!



  10. Vex Melideo on September 18, 2022 at 1:40 am

    Make Symmetra Support Again



  11. A Random Person on September 18, 2022 at 1:41 am

    Music used in the video
    1:48 – Ray’s Retaliation (The Promised Neverland)
    2:37 – Dignity of Contest (Fire Emblem)
    5:30 – Glass’ Theme (The Rising of the Shield Hero)

    Anyone know any of the others?



  12. Zanodia on September 18, 2022 at 1:42 am

    People finally picked up on what I’ve been saying all this time. It’s just too bad that people in lower ranks can’t focus on a single plan. The worst part is that symmetra is not the best dps in the game for time to kill on barriers, but she also has infinite ammo as long as she’s hitting one. Happy hunting strategists.



  13. Rapids Rits on September 18, 2022 at 1:43 am

    does anyone have the list of music in order?



  14. theacp127 on September 18, 2022 at 1:44 am

    Can you throw blizzard through the teleporter since it comes out as that little robot first?



  15. jahag kagau on September 18, 2022 at 1:45 am

    As a British person….
    Team Ireland? Hmmm
    Nah just kidding this was a great video



  16. DeadCata1yst on September 18, 2022 at 1:45 am

    Team Ireland is by far one of the most creative teams.



  17. JustDave on September 18, 2022 at 1:45 am

    Imagine a useful DPS in the current meta that does not insta kill any other DPS or Support, and the first thing you think of is nerfing her. While the Doomfist continues to one hit kill any support and dps, while still having the maneuverability of a tracer. If you are in the screen when Doom charges, you get hit. While every single DPS has to fucking aim. And Blizzard’s idea is to nerf every single one of them, except the one hit Doomfist.



  18. Anonymous on September 18, 2022 at 1:45 am

    Symmetra is Hated just for her existence, Literally, I can feel my team worry when I pick Symmetra and it personally pisses me off, you know-
    We Lost because our Dps player couldn’t pick a "meta hero." It just makes me mad.



  19. johnny Brravo on September 18, 2022 at 1:46 am

    fuck blizzard !



  20. Preaplanes on September 18, 2022 at 1:46 am

    Shield Hero soundtrack, huh? Nice.



  21. Jessi Graphiel on September 18, 2022 at 1:47 am

    That will be fixed pretty sure



  22. jacky chan on September 18, 2022 at 1:48 am

    The music is pretty Japanese, I like it



  23. Switch on September 18, 2022 at 1:48 am

    go scrivzy



  24. Emergency Jergens on September 18, 2022 at 1:48 am

    this cant be done anymore



  25. vapor on September 18, 2022 at 1:49 am

    As a Symm main for over a year now this isn’t new to me at all. Shes been like this for over a year now from her last rework remember? I want new symm main to know that shes not just a respan taxi to her team, she can have mobility to kill escaping targets or flanking real quick.



  26. Cashew on September 18, 2022 at 1:50 am

    team ireland symmetranators.. i knew i could trust them



  27. The Lord of Entropy on September 18, 2022 at 1:50 am

    Ice-bombing! Wonderful haha.



  28. Anonymous on September 18, 2022 at 1:50 am

    Genji can’t defect your primary fire as Symmetra. I feel so evil when killing a Genji panicking to deflect me as Symmetra.



  29. Bruno Bedeschi on September 18, 2022 at 1:51 am

    OICE BOMB



  30. nothing here on September 18, 2022 at 1:51 am

    For those wondering what the song at 2:37 it was “diginity of contest” from fire emblem fates



  31. Josh Costello on September 18, 2022 at 1:54 am

    yes ireland, be successful and cool i LOVE YOU



  32. WavyKiing on September 18, 2022 at 1:55 am

    This was a really well made video



  33. Gavin Carmichael on September 18, 2022 at 2:00 am

    2:16



  34. DeboraHaHaHa 5000 on September 18, 2022 at 2:05 am

    Wait she gains ammo targeting shields, WAIT WHAT?



  35. Miguel GP on September 18, 2022 at 2:06 am

  36. ShyStatic yt on September 18, 2022 at 2:10 am

    It’s called turret bombing and symmetra mains have been doing that since like literally symmetras rework



  37. This user does not exist on September 18, 2022 at 2:11 am

    I just realized that symm charges ammo by melting shield



  38. Simp For Sasha on September 18, 2022 at 2:11 am

    Go Ireland



  39. Anthan Krufix on September 18, 2022 at 2:14 am

    I wish that it was possible to send Mei’s ultimate through the teleporter.



  40. Zwizard247 on September 18, 2022 at 2:17 am

    2:39

  44. Madam on September 18, 2022 at 2:20 am

    Actually, spamming Symmetra’s secondary fire is a faster way to gain Ult charge.



  45. אור פאר on September 18, 2022 at 2:21 am

    so much terror that no one on my team actually wants or knows how to do this simple shit.
