Symmetra’s ability set mirrors the likes of Zarya in her energy beam and Torbjorn in the way she uses turrets, but other than this, there isn’t much else to tie this scientist to the rest of the roster. For this reason, many players using this DPS hero seem to think that Blizzard underutilised the character with Overwatch 2, not highlighting Symmetra’s contributions to team fights and objectives properly.
