Symmetra is an interesting builder character in Overwatch. Rather than one beefy turret like Torbjorn, she places many smaller turrets (up to 6 at once!). The turrets are very weak, though – one hit will kill them. To effectively use these turrets, you have to satisfy two criteria:
1) They need to have close ranged line of sight on enemy players
2) They need to be in an area that enemies are not expecting, nor can they easily shoot at
On paper, I understand that pretty well. However, I'm having a lot of difficulty putting this into practice as I'm getting matched up with more and more savvy players. I'm not asking for a list of areas to place my turrets. I'm asking for general strategies on how to identify an effective place for turrets.
