Given the fluid, ever-changing nature of Overwatch's meta thanks to Blizzard's continued pursuit of perfect balance, its Heroes rise and fall on the power scale on a regular basis. Symmetra, often considered to be one of - if not the - weakest combatants on launch, received a much-needed overhaul at the tail end of 2016 which repositioned her from trash to God-tier.

Given the choice, you didn't fight Symmetra mano a mano, you legged it back to your team, only for her to follow and singlehandedly wipe your entire crew.
