I just lost one game on Damage and lost 150 SR. Jesus I hope this is fixed in the actual season.
gains and losses are huge until the game decides where you should be
and a lot of people are treating the role queue beta like an off season (aka quick play) so I wouldn't worry about these things too much

If Sym's beam didn't charge on shields, I don't think her dps would be an issue. Everything else could charge it, but rein/orisa/sigma shields would not.
Or make her turret damage charge her beam power. Like a reverse Zarya with her bubble charging. This could also encourage her to be more aggressive with her turrets instead of sitting back and guarding chokes.

or keep her as she is, she isn't even getting much OWL time anyway x_x
Are being just memeing about an MMR reset or is there actually something behind it?
matchmaking got fucked up, people placing bizarrely lower/higher than they should, comp disabled
Hey everyone, we're looking into a bug with competitive matchmaking. We've temporarily disabled competitive play while we dig into the issue.
God forbid people use a character that has crazy OP damage output, yes.
So we are not having full reset for next season?? This seems really dumb especially with role q out.
Full reset is nothing other than a dream concept that will never do what people hope it will do.
Gotta be better than basing it on an MMR made from seasons of matches with 4-5 DPS.
It's really not. How do you think an MMR reset would positively influence the game?
You don't want an MMR reset. If your problem with ranked is you sometimes get placed in games that you have little chance of winning, then an MMR reset is going to make things much much worse, as you're actually going to have teams of bronze players up against top 500 players (you better believe that the best players are going to queue in groups to quickly get back to GM), and that's going to be no fun for anybody for those few weeks where everyone gets back to roughly where they were before the reset.
The whole issue of elo hell is overblown anyway. Even if you make a brand new smurf account and play well, you're going to place in roughly plat, so you still have to be able to reliably win games at that sort of rank; there's no getting around it.

It would get rid of all/most boosted players and people would eventually be properly played in their role.
The current state of Role Q is beyond poor.
How ? I tell you how. There are gm and masters and diamonds(same goes with all ranks) that have never touched dps/tank or support(depending each on their mains) that have been placed in the same rank as their main. You think this is totally fine ? Idk it seems like a cheap move to not get their fan base mad when they are actually being placed to their actual rank.
She gotta be hugging you to make damage and still got 200 hp unlike the rest of huggers in the game, i really think people are overreacting and she's only strong because of the shields i'm sorry. In any other meta shed be dead before reaching the first shield
They've been tracking performance for months and months before implementing the role queue, so if you're being placed where you already were, you're simply that level. For me for instance, I placed at three different ranks across the three roles and that made perfect sense.
What makes you think these GM/Masters/Diamonds shouldn't be at the rank they're placed at, even if they played many matches and never drop?
I'm not saying she's overpowered or strong, she's basically strong because of the meta, but that doesn't mean she should be able to look at Tracer and make her vanish. 185 (I think it is?) DPS is simply too strong for the game, period. Her 'finally being viable' should not mean she isn't allowed to be nerfed.
Tracer can do up to 240damage per second, should we nerf her too, following that logic?
They left her beam broken for almost a year and now that it's finally fixed they want it to feel like the broken thing again, these nerfs are too harsh. I don't want her to become a troll pick again, 3 years being abused over a character pick means something should be done about it
They fixed it with the notion that they'd closely follow damage output of both her and Zarya and adjust where needed. These nerfs are deserved. (apparently she's even 195 currently)
And yes: according to that logic, she should. I'm hoping you understand that a continuous wide as shit beam with unlimited ammo that is Symmetra and a hitscan hero that is Tracer are not remotely the same. I guess I should've provided more context.

You're not wrong, case in point, myself.
I reached masters a few years back mainly as healer, with a dash of tanking and barely any damage.
Never went back to competitive after season 4 or 5.
Now I've finished my beta placements for all three roles and I played like absolute shit as DPS, I was everything I would complain about with trash damage dealers...
And I landed at around 3300 or so, just a bit behind my healer role and somehow ahead of my tank (around 3100).
My damage should be like low plat and instead it's two wins away from masters because my healer work seemingly
Edit: not saying a full reset is a solution myself, but the way they've handled SR seems like a mess
Here.
I would understand for some people that flex a lot and almost have the same performance for all roles ,but moat people have one main role and their other roles are placed the same as their main.
Her beam ammo isn't unlimited. It's 70 and without barriers she needs to recharge everytime her gun reaches a new tier, she takes 2,66 seconds to reach tier 3 which is higher than most heroes' TTK. If you said her damage needs adjust based on this meta I'd be inclined to agree, but the beam itself doesn't need to be shot down that hard, specially considering these numbers are close to what she was supposed to have when she got reworked :/ i don't think completely deleting zarya from the game was fair either, they need a middle groud between the bad symm beam damage and the great new one xO
Honestly, getting rid of double barrier should the priority as you can't even use symm outside of that meta, then you rebalance symm to be good outside of that whether it requires damage nerf or not
Point is, it's not symm that's busted, she's just finally useable because she synergises well in a meta where she can actually get to the target alive, once sigma or orisa go down people will start seeing her as trash again, it's the cycle of symm
Because 222 plays nothing like 5 DPS. A reset MMR has to be better than one created from a mess.
I haven't played since season 10, but for the last few weeks I have slowly been getting back into it. Ended up getting plat for tank and healer, which is fine. I've been plat every season I played besides season 1 (diamond). I think I'm going to make a serious attempt this season. A lot of times I got 2900s, but I never played enough or just got frustrated and quit. I'll probably just que for all the roles and see how it goes.
I thought people were saying it was OW for Switch. There's lots of thought that a Nintendo Direct will happen this week or next week.
