Overwatch - Upgrade?

[fandom_8FelipeKun8]

Recently, Overwatch underwent an update that changed the character Symmetra.

Can your new supreme cause some Upgrade in the game AP?

Doubt it, but the change to her regular weapon now further supports it being lightspeed

 

[KittBetelgeuse]

I would really like to see more input into this because thats a very large construct

 

[WeeklyBattles]

Creating something out of hard light doesn't yield good results even for something that big

 

[KittBetelgeuse]

Hmm sorry for continuing to lengten this conversation but seeing how the thing has an HP bar and blocking capabilities i figured it should have at least some sort of "convert energy to light input/output" that would result in a form of AP (kinda how we say certain things like Stars are a certain DC level by sheer force of size or energy)

 

[fandom_8FelipeKun8]

I think this should be better analyzed. The total proportion of this supreme and well greater than a Large Building.

 

[Dargoo_Faust]

If Rein's Sheild can be declared as Multi-City Block for blocking D.Va's ult, I see no idea why Sym's ult wouldn't.

 

[WeeklyBattles]

Durability yes but it wouldnt scale to AP

Sym's forcefield is already 8-A for blocking Dva's ult

 

[Dargoo_Faust]

Oh, I thought this was about Dura.

Nevermind, lol.

 

[WeeklyBattles]

What do you think about her Attack Speed being lightspeed now? The big kicker that made it not lightspeed before is its curving beam, but now it doesnt curve, its just a straight beam.

Stated to be photons

By Symmetra, a scientist who specialized in light and light-based constructs

 

[Dargoo_Faust]

I think that's reasonable, but I wouldn't scale it to other characters.

 

[WeeklyBattles]

Yeah no it only scales to Sym's attack speed and nothing else as no one has shown to be able to react to it

 

[Dargoo_Faust]

Sounds good although that would be her beam, and not her projectile attacks from what I'm aware of.

Also, off topic, but can you vote on Lucio vs. Flynt? I only have one vote left, lol.

I know this is probably kind of a necro, but as I have played a metric ton of Overwatch, I just wanted to say a few things. Firstly, Symmetra isn't the only character who's weapon has been described as using a form of particle. Zarya's primary weapon is called the Particle Cannon and has very similar traits to Symmetra's, namely in the fact that they are both particle based weapons that act as a ranged beam and can't be reacted too. Secondly, the notion that Zarya and Symmetra both use particle based weaponry can be observed as these are two of five characters who's weapon fire can't be deflected by Genji. Another thing is that Genji's deflect ability has a weakness, it can't deflect weapon fire who's projectles function on a very small scale or aren't tangible. This is seen in him being unable to deflect Moira's damage beam, which is described as functioning on the molecular structure as she quotes when she heals or damages, "I'm rearranging your molecular structure." then there is Mei's freeze gun, which, once more, isn't very tangible as it is simply a very cold gaseous, and finally there's Winston's Lightning Cannon, which is self explanatory as lightning isn't a tangible force. These observations support the notion that both Zarya and Symmetra's weapons fire on a microscopic scale that can't be touched without specialized equipment. Ok, that's all, sorry for this massive wall of information.

 

[WeeklyBattles]

All of those attacks also bypass D.Va's defense matrix

 

[Penguinkingpin]

True. I would say that I've learned that from experience but boy, when I play D.Va I always forget the Defense Matrix.

 

[Chartate101]

Yeah this wouldn't scale to anyone except maybe Zarya
