Nostalgic Symmetra stuff. 6 sentry turrets, portable flying shield, teleporter ultimate, and an attachable beam primary fire. I wish there were a way to use all of it again
I miss the way you used to be able to play symmetra. Don’t even care about the lasso, I just wish they’d bring back the six turrets and the little moving shield.
Adrianofcon when she first came out, she was just meh. And when they buffed her the first time they gave her some really nice upgrades. Her moving shield has saved me from many of DVA ults, and the 6 turrets were perfect. Then everything changed when the nerfs attacked. I still play her, and she’s my main on dp, but damn if they haven’t ruined her ult and cut her power in half. They even messed up her teleporter.
@Adrianofcon Idk why they couldn't just leave her where she was just as dps she was Ok and cool back there and now she is or weak or annoying or trash and this is how all talks with her
As a German hammer welding guy who thinks there's no such thing as a main because you can master any character with practice that's me when I charge off on EVERY single MATCH and most of the time I do it on purpose to help my team win
Unexpected ending but super CUTE overall! Such smooth animation, the adorable Ana, and the photon barrier dva bomb block! Ugh I MISS old Sym! :c Thank you for this!
I remember one time, back when Mercy's Valk instantly reset her Rez, I killed a torb as a sym who had walked into my turret trap. Mercy walked right up to the body, but not close enough to notice the turrets, rezzed him in the middle of my turret trap, and walked off. I proceeded to melt the torb again. Mercy ulted, rezzed torb in the turret trap again, flew off before the turrets could kill her, and left the poor torb to get melted down for the third time in 15 seconds... I got PotG for that...
To anyone saying this video doesn't make sense anymore or anything among those lines: Symmetra gets a "level up" at the end that shows her new ult. Meaning, it's acknowledged that she doesn't use those methods anymore and got a rework. Also on a more personal note: I like the rework partly, however, I miss the mini shields and being able to lift up player corpses and other things.
This was so amazingly-animated! And hilarious too; i kept replaying almost every shot, they’re all gold! I laughed out loud at Dva ejecting off the ledge, and loved how doting Ana is with Pharah. I love the Overwatch characters so much and hope that Overwatch 2 brings about the same amount of fan engagement the game had at launch :)
@@kasra38s you could say that, she was more of a utility hero, she was in the support category before they moved her to the dps one, people were really mad she was a “support” hero that couldn’t heal, she did offer alot of utility back then as well as damage.
oh boy coming back to this, reminds me how many times they changed her. I remember before that moving shield, she applied them to other teammates and then they change her ult to having the option of teleport or a shield generator and then they've got what they have today.
I remember the 1.0 sym version when I became sym main solely because she was good at eating gengji which is my biggest nemesis to this day. I dont miss manual sentry placement but I do miss shield generator. And torbs armor packs - feel like these two disappeared around the same time.
Brigitte came out and for nearly a month, everyone in the game was a tank with 450+ HP, shields and armor between Brig, Sym and Torb. Sym got a rework followed by Torb...... Then GOATS emerged.....
@@zenixkiryu oh yes that where the best ones i remeber one ,,,torb ,,dies ,,, gets reezed ,,, died again and really slwoly sliped down the hill that was PoTg XDD
I"ve literally seen a Pharah get killed by Symm's barrier because she spawned it right on her while she was using her ult so the explosions from her own ult killed her.
Yup, Symms(the few of us there were back then) used to do it with 2.0s old photon barrier too. It was a shield with a shit ton of health that moved in a straight line. We'd just summon it in front of Ulting Pharahs and watch it kill her lol. It still happens now with the "new" version of Photon Barrier, just not as often as it did when it was a regualr ability on cooldown
Well the turrets went down in one shot, the barrier is pretty much only good for an attack or 2, & the teleporter while more useful since one end is placed at spawn could only be used 6 times. And some Sym's would put it in locations where it would cause people to fall to their deaths so you'd never know if you were going to die until after someone went through Sym's beam locking on was definitely better though.
Be sure to watch till the end of the video for the extra ending! Thanks for all the love
Ty for a great work
le buff
Was that hammond at the start of the video? XD
Studio AFK this is why she got her 2nd rework...she’s no longer a Swiss Army knife and more combat knife in my opinion not a great trade off
I miss old Symm. So, much.
I love how Ana put Pharah to sleep and literally made a bed for her. *_Such a loving mother_*
Ikr
I found it adorable
Yea such a loving mother,, ohh wait didn’t she faked her own death and disappeared for like 10years?
@@whocares6692 Yeah, but hey she was'nt the only one, who faked her own death.
@@whocares6692 well im OW world faking your death is like, losing a limb. Very common
Then she lost autolock, three of her turrets, and the ability to pick up corpses
the last one hurts the most
She actually had the last one.
The last one was also used for literally using torbjorns turret to peek the corner
Moira can pull corpses I think.
@@QT_Jeanne wait really?
When a hero in your animation gets reworked mid-production.
ik this comment is 1 year okd but LOL
He hasn't changed it to this day
ik this comment is 2 year okd but LOL
Ik this comment is 3 years old okd but lol
0:49
As a budding Reinhardt main, I feel personally attacked.
I literally died-
So how did that work out? I love Rein, he's my main tank
0:33 i feel attacked
@@brennan8930 I signed on for my school's esports team and fought my state's best Overwatch team. It was pretty cool.
You can tell this took so much effort because this is the old symmetra
Can we just appreciate how fluid this animation is? Like seriously, amazing job.
When you have already worked so much in a scene that you wont remove it even if the ability doesn't exist any more
Nostalgic Symmetra stuff.
6 sentry turrets, portable flying shield, teleporter ultimate, and an attachable beam primary fire.
I wish there were a way to use all of it again
Me too T_T
The most reworked hero ever lol. Remember support symmetra + torb for armour pack shields?
Aaaah, back when she had the shield and 6 turrets.. good times.
no pls
And was concidered "a support" xD
1:00 Ana is such a cute bean
Rip old symmetra
She was so fun to play
awww this took you so long that it's the old Symmetra...It's okay we still love it!
Asyme look at the end, it shows Syms new ult
I miss the way you used to be able to play symmetra. Don’t even care about the lasso, I just wish they’d bring back the six turrets and the little moving shield.
beeziebubs good bye symetra RIP
Bring back my shield generator!

Junkrat trying to shoot the turrets is fucking adorable, same as Ana putting Pharah to sleep
I miss that sheild so badly.
Atari L. me too 😭😭😭
As a junkrat main, I can assure that the junkrat trying to hit sym’s turrets is accurate
As a German hammer welding guy who thinks there's no such thing as a main because you can master any character with practice that's me when I charge off on EVERY single MATCH and most of the time I do it on purpose to help my team win
Unexpected ending but super CUTE overall!
Such smooth animation, the adorable Ana, and the photon barrier dva bomb block!
Ugh I MISS old Sym! :c
Thank you for this!
Poor Junkrat, he looked like he was having fun destroying those turrets.
I remember one time, back when Mercy's Valk instantly reset her Rez, I killed a torb as a sym who had walked into my turret trap. Mercy walked right up to the body, but not close enough to notice the turrets, rezzed him in the middle of my turret trap, and walked off. I proceeded to melt the torb again.

I got PotG for that...
I miss the old Sym :(
same, if only they kept her old projectile shield
I couldn't stop laughing at Ana tucking in Pharah XD
Reinhardt charging off the edge of the map killed me 💀
Zas was on purpose!
Those were the good days
Actual footage of me as junkrat literally standing there while not knowing wtf is going on because I'm taking damage for no reason
so i guess you were standing there but not realizing…
I've learned 2 super effective ways of dealing with symmetras turrets one use the mine, two just punch them
@@zzac7433 ah yes, those are good
The junkrat trying to destroy the sentry was funny as hell😭
I miss being able to pick up bodies.
Old Symmetra was better.
how much did it hurt when symmetra had a rework midway through making this?
To anyone saying this video doesn't make sense anymore or anything among those lines: Symmetra gets a "level up" at the end that shows her new ult. Meaning, it's acknowledged that she doesn't use those methods anymore and got a rework.
Also on a more personal note: I like the rework partly, however, I miss the mini shields and being able to lift up player corpses and other things.
Meed to bring back the lift
This video is a perfect example as to how long animations of this quality take to make
This animation style is so damn cute
0:50 the rein charging off the map had me dying
Love the clean art style, nice facial expressions too. Luv it
Omg Anna putting Phara to sleep and tucking her in was priceless
*Ana putting pharah in a blanket and kissing her head was the custest thing I have ever seen.*
I love the Zarya coming in with the your laser is puny
Your Ana is by far my favorite version of Ana
I love this art style and Reinhardt charging out the teleporter to his death was hilarious lol.
R.I.P Old Symmetra
Rip old symmetra
The art style is actually adorable! Thanks so much for making this.
Your artstyle makes Overwatch look like such a happy, saltt-free game, i love it
Very nice animation, love the style :)
Rip old sym
0:50 true symettra main and good memories.
1:00 God thats so fucking cute.
how am i only getting recommended this vid now
Please bring back these videos. Best Overwatch shorts to ever exist
Jesus I don't miss symmetra being like this
1:07
*at this moment she knew, she fucked up*
The animation is so clean 😍 love it
So are we not gonna talk about how cute junkrat looked
Omg I remember the old Symmetra... Good old days.
God I miss this version of symmetra 😢 I loved the old photon barrier and shield gen
her ult was the best i loved getting play of the game by murdering my whole team
This was so amazingly-animated! And hilarious too; i kept replaying almost every shot, they’re all gold! I laughed out loud at Dva ejecting off the ledge, and loved how doting Ana is with Pharah. I love the Overwatch characters so much and hope that Overwatch 2 brings about the same amount of fan engagement the game had at launch :)
The abilities shown in this animation aged in such a wacky way
THAT ENDINGGG OMG IS THIS A FUCKING MOVIE?? GIRL THIS ART STYLE THOOO
1:00 she is best mom!
To this day my favorite detail about this video is rein charging off the map
Only 90's kids will remember
Remember what?
JUNKRAT WAS SO ADORABLE, DONT EVEN TRY CHANGING MY MIND
1:07 "it was at that moment symmetra knew, she f*cked up"
Man, I forgot about Sym's old barrier
What was it like?!
@@kasra38s A reinhadt shield on demand, so useful for blocking ults, it traveled forward and had 1000hp! really good
@@benevolent5146 oh wow! Was she still a dps back then?!
@@kasra38s you could say that, she was more of a utility hero, she was in the support category before they moved her to the dps one, people were really mad she was a “support” hero that couldn’t heal, she did offer alot of utility back then as well as damage.
@@benevolent5146 ooh, interesting! Thank you for the explanation😄❤️
Awwww the Ana part is so cute
Really adorable
Gotta say I really miss Symmetra’s old kit.
I loved her old thing but the new thing is awesome need 1 extra turretgun though for reasons :D
Collin Bishop-Karney I miss it to but the new one is great
R.I.P
The Best Symmetra
I miss old symmetra so much. When you lock on a dva and jump around her like crazy
0:59 Ana is pharah mom so thats normal for her to put a pillow
obviously
she used to be such a menace, but still can be if played right 😂 but that laser in OW1 was such a menace.
I love it. Your animation style is so pretty! Also can't wait to get that gm with sym B)
This is why 2.0 will always be best Symmetra version. The memories.
oh boy coming back to this, reminds me how many times they changed her.
I remember before that moving shield, she applied them to other teammates and then they change her ult to having the option of teleport or a shield generator and then they've got what they have today.
Completely changed her three times, I like version 2 the best.
She was in support class if i remember correctly
@@diverdown4152 Yep before I think becoming a defence class before the merge into DPS
I'd love to have an ultimatr for symmetra which is like an large photo barrier but in like a winston dome shape
I remember the 1.0 sym version when I became sym main solely because she was good at eating gengji which is my biggest nemesis to this day. I dont miss manual sentry placement but I do miss shield generator. And torbs armor packs - feel like these two disappeared around the same time.
Its such a shame I always wanted to mess around with the Armor machinic
Back in the good old days when u could have 6 shield generators and 600 health on no limits :(
Symmetra 2.0 will be missed
I've learned ways on how to defeat a genji as junkrat
now if I could remember to drop the trap when he deflects at point blank. hummmm
Brigitte came out and for nearly a month, everyone in the game was a tank with 450+ HP, shields and armor between Brig, Sym and Torb.
Sym got a rework followed by Torb......
Then GOATS emerged.....
I cant🥺 the ana scene is too adorable
This reminded me of the good ol’ days when Sym still had six turrets and a dinner plate 🙃
Age of hell*
Omg, this art style is adorable!!!!!
Ilove how they are beautifully drawn n the expression OMG
D.va jumping and then falling is just too cute
I love how this lines up with 'ana's day out'
It melts my heart how good mother Ana is . Oh yeah the ''good'' old Symmetra she was a cancer festival.
i so love the dynamic btw pharah and ana hahahaha it's hilarious
I play Symmetra on defense. I remember the days you could wipe out a team on the point with your eyes closed.
wow, a comment from 2022
TMW a torbjorn got play of the game where they were dead for the whole duration.
@@zenixkiryu oh yes that where the best ones
i remeber one ,,,torb ,,dies ,,, gets reezed ,,, died again and really slwoly sliped down the hill that was PoTg XDD
I miss those days 😿😿😿
anyway else notice the hampster in the beginning?? hammond is that you?!
Damn this easily the best animations in these community shorts good job
The way you portray Ana & phareha's relationship is everything ❤
0:57 bed time Pareeha! 😍😂
Mother knows best!
Xd
When Symmetra had 6 turrets, shields and did not have to aim
I"ve literally seen a Pharah get killed by Symm's barrier because she spawned it right on her while she was using her ult so the explosions from her own ult killed her.
Thats so damn genius
Yup, Symms(the few of us there were back then) used to do it with 2.0s old photon barrier too. It was a shield with a shit ton of health that moved in a straight line. We'd just summon it in front of Ulting Pharahs and watch it kill her lol. It still happens now with the "new" version of Photon Barrier, just not as often as it did when it was a regualr ability on cooldown
Remember the time that Symmetra was able to pick up the basketball and make it to the hoop
sure I member!
Pepperidge Farm does
Reinhardt charging off cliff killed me that was brilliant!!!
I miss Symmetra 2.0 so much
As a Symmetra main I approve this, Symmetra mains united!
I was maining symmetra 2.0..
Now I switched to moira. No aim no brain >,
I really like your animation style
I miss her. I miss the whole game back in the day.
Yes Everyone,... 😔👍
0:32 just your lovable everyday quick play classic dva solo ulting here
To be honest, This is The Cutest Overwatch Animation I have ever seen!!!
Keep on the good work! ^-^
I see TH-cam has brought us together brothers and sisters
Maple Gum that’s deep
Can I just say, F for the Reinhardt that fell off the edge.
I love Studio AFK's Overwatch animations!
Sym 1.0 seems so much more fun.2 ults,a shield,lock on laser that can carry ragdolls AND 6 turrets?!?!
That’s 2.0 bud.
that's 2.0 sym, current sym is 3.0
No she seems much more annoying
Well the turrets went down in one shot, the barrier is pretty much only good for an attack or 2, & the teleporter while more useful since one end is placed at spawn could only be used 6 times. And some Sym's would put it in locations where it would cause people to fall to their deaths so you'd never know if you were going to die until after someone went through
Sym's beam locking on was definitely better though.
And not fun when you play against her that's why blizzard rework her
Pharah being put to bed was so cute
