10 Best Overwatch Characters - Ranked

Backstory: Symmetra has possibly the wackiest concept in the game. She’s a combat architect. Just let that sink in for a moment, and really think about how absurd that sounds. Sure, we’ve had plenty of characters that build things before, but an architect that manipulates tangible light to create legitimate structures, more often that not used in battle, is pretty out there. 9/10

Abilities: Symmetra isn’t perfect, perhaps because she’s not quite as useful on attack as she is on defense, but she’s incredibly useful. She can put down turrets that damage enemies over time with lasers, and when placed correctly can take down pretty much anyone. She’s got a shield that travels forwards, providing mobile cover, and two entirely different types of weapon fire. She’s also got two ults, allowing you to choose between a teleporter and a shield generator, which you’ll easily get use out of. 9/10

Design: Symmetra’s gear might not be entirely practical, but then again, she’s hardly leading the vanguard in to battle. A mix of blue, gold and white all come together for a great looking standard skin, and the robotic arm is the icing on the proverbial cake. Her other skins offer a nice variety, even if her event skins could do with a little more love. 7/10

Score: 8.5/10
