Given that sym turrets do 50dps each, and the 20% slow effect stacks
(although I haven’t figured out if it’s a straight 60% reduction with the 20% calculated from max speed, or if it’s a 48.8% reduction with it calculated from the reduced speed)
they can kill most offense/support heroes in just over a second. And if not quickly destroyed or shielded against, they will take a maximum of 4 seconds to kill the most heavily armoured tank (if not being healed). Which is bad enough when placed normally, because you can either watch where you walk, or use shield placement/tanks to intercept while you kill them.
But using the teleporter to send a stack of 3 turrets behind someone’s team seems overpowered, because there’s no travel time to intercept them - they are instantly able to zap you. Hence, overpowered.
I understand that non-player entities pass through the teleporter automatically, and I don’t suggest changing that; instead, I feel that the teleporter should only teleport entities in motion, i.e. you could send turrets through if you launch them through the teleporter, but if the turret is already built, then it should not teleport it.
funny to see a lucio player complaining about the turrets when lucio is one of those heroes who can run out of a 3 turret trap with the flag in CTF. In conjunction with a hp boost sym has not much she can do alone. Have a problem with sym? just kill the freaking turrets.
He can unless Sym placed them well.
Private profile complaining about sym?
100% bronze
I love when a sym teleports her turrets on me as zen.
one melee = enjoy a 30 second cooldown.
come through the tp as well? Awesome, i’ill kill you and tbag your corpse
Once they have been located they are useless.
It’s when people often go alone they die to the turrets, flankers etc
They die in one melee hit, and if they’re all together you can hit all three of them at once.
Or just switch to a character who can outrange them (Moira, Pharah, Soldier, Genji, Orisa etc). Problem solved.
it take 30s of cooldown for that to happen once and its not guaranteed, there are many way to counter it so no its not OP, its likely a lot UP tho
Hi, I’m also a lucio main, I understand your pain!! It can seem that way when they just keep melting you time after time, I’ve been there. I sometimes find that with lucios speed comes a certain amount of haphazardness which means you can all too easily skoot in to Syms chamber of death, oh so easily and you feel like a dumbass allow yourself to get tilted.
You will not find sympathy here my friend - this forum can be salty AF, but also helpful AF when you need some information. But we all have to learn somewhere! Right?
Once you learn how to deal with the turrets they become a bit easier to manage. As a support hero, I think that I should be keeping an eye on turrets and be taking care of them as quickly as possible, if I can. He can do some serious damage to them, but you need to be quick! If you get caught by all three try and use your speed boost to reverse the hec outta there and then switch to healing ASAP and try and work out where the turrets are, if you have stuck with your team, there’s a good chance they’ll help you out and you’ll survive. If you’ve gone out on your own this will usually be a fatal mistake. Try not to do that again when she’s around, you can take her if if you’re confident of course, but she can make mincemeat out of you so it’s best not to 1v1 her. As Lucio, we need our teammates for survival, stick with them and you can figure out most things and get a better feel for how the mechanics work. Practice is all it takes, so don’t feel bad at all and don’t let anyone else make you feel bad either!
Or maybe I turned it private because I have almost 400 hours on Lucio, and sometimes I feel like playing a different character without my whole team raging at me for ‘throwing the game by not playing my main’.
And I’m currently in Plat, btw.
And as for ‘just kill the turrets’, what if (as usual) i’m just behind my team, you know, cause Lucio isn’t a tank, and then they get teleported behind the team, and since I’m closest they target me first, and I’m dead in just over a second, before I am able to turn around and hit/shoot them?
And don’t say ‘just watch for symmetra making the teleporter’, because often
a) I’m more focused on watching my team so I can use my abilities to their best potential to keep their health up
b) I can’t see her through the 3 to 11 people in front of me, especially if she’s half around a corner, or has previously teleported from a place i can’t see to another place I can’t see, which is behind me, and nobody has noticed so she’s free to triple turret teleport at her leisure.
You can boop them before they kill you.
I’ve seen enough games where ppl rather get zapped by turrets over 10 sec instead of destroying them in 1 sec.
Either those ppl already gave completely up or just don’t know you can actually destroy them.
you ======= baddddddd
Sorry but anyone above bronze can deal with it so DEAL WITH IT she has no other dps abilities, and the turrets make up 90% of symmetras act. Not hard
That’s not helpful and exactly the sh1tty attitude that gives this community a bad name!
If you are able bronze, why not impart your knowledge so others can learn, because these are perfectly valid issues, bronze or not! Just be helpful and not snide, it’s not hard
ok sorry i’m actually not usually like that, I do get why you’re fed up as so many people on the forums are rude. I’ve never been in bronze so I dont know what it’s like, I assumed they were all awful - I take it back
