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.
Much of that came as a result of her suite of new abilities, but thanks to Symmetra's reworked Photon Projector, she became a one-size-fits-all pick, able to fulfil every role by way of absurd healing, damage multipliers and huge range. 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.
Symmetra's period of dominance came to an end when Blizzard intervened and a solid pick she remains, just not the automatic one she once was.
