Overwatch – Will Stacked Symmetra’s Turrets Stop Genji from Swift Striking Past?

overwatch

Symmetra's turrets add a slow effect when firing on enemy players, which stack the more turrets that are firing on a player.

When defending on the Anubis Temple (Egypt) map, I like to place turrets in the righthand room at the main twin gates leading to objective A, because this room is often used for flanking by the enemy team.

Question

If I place all 6 of Symmetra's turrets in the room, would an enemy Genji still be able to Swift Strike past them, or will they slow down the Swift Strike enough that the Genji bascially becomes immobile?

Best Answer

The thing is, even though Swift Strike is relatively quick, Symmetra's sentries will not lock on until Genji has exited Swift Strike, and is still in range of your sentries.

So to answer your question, if the Genji swift strikes past your sentries, and ends in a spot that is out of range, the sentries will not stop it.
