@@TheHellsingHQ I thought it was weird when everyone who stopped playing OW came back for OW2… if they had kept supporting OW maybe it would still be around
@@sketchtheparadigmyork1217 it’s an overall improvement on ow1, 2 tanks was stupid, the cc was ludicrous, 5 man team is better the only thing that stayed the same was the toxicity level idk how you think ow1 wasn’t toxic.😂I think it’s just nostalgia cause this was amazing when it first launched.
watching this makes me kinda sad but so happy i watched my friends play like this years ago , i lived thru this era, now its gone just like my youth but wow
the old symmetra was super underwhelming and considered a troll pick. the main gun's range was too short for her to engage without risking too much, and the ramping-up dps wasn't worth it, especially considering she was a support without any movement or CC abilities. her E was utter crap, 25 hp could only save a 200 hp hero in very specific circumstances. and the teleporter wasn't that strong and reliable of an ability, having only 6 charges. the 6 turrets are kinda funny. those had potential for intel, but in a game like overwatch flanking solo isn't very useful or feasible
This was when Overwatch was a paid game. Omfg even look at the end game stuff omg I wanna cry😭 Idk why but this version feels more premium with the leveling up and UI for the game. Everything, yeah some things were broken and unbalanced but the OW team listened and actually made it fun at that time. I also can’t get over the fact that I almost unlocked every skin, but I see the ones I already unlocked in the store being sold like $10 plus. Back then we could earn loot boxes by playing the game and also could buy them in packs too and they weren’t really expensive too. But people looked at loot boxes like they battle passes sooooo idk I guess society changes. I still can’t get over seeing skins you could of unlocked simply playing the game but now they’re selling it individually or in bundles with name cards. That card system too omg I feel like that made people want to try to have their efforts be put on their and the team would vote and idk sometimes it’s wholesome. Everyone’s different I guess and has their way of enjoyment for gaming. I just think this is all sad and how Jeff left too, I really want to know how it went down with Jeff behind the curtains.
This is the Overwatch I remember. 6v6, slower paced, able to be enjoyed. Symmetra was my favorite hero, and I enjoyed playing both 1.0 and 2.0 versions. I loved giving my allies shields with 1.0, and I loved the increased range with 2.0. I still don’t know why Blizzard thinks Overwatch 2 is an improvement.
its reused on the rework. she uses the same one except its cut out straight to the part where the turret spawned back then, the previous part is shared among all anims before she summons any of her constructs. the only symmetra animation thats gone is her 2 old beam charge animations (the one from 2015 and the launch one) and her shielding anim that was reused on the older photon barrier
Watching this in preparation for OW Classic in a few hours. Since Symmetra 1.0 is the only major hero rework I never got to play and given the fact she is one of my best characters I’mma need to study up.
The elevators also were not activated by players, and just went up and down on a cycle. If you missed getting on one, you would have to wait 15 seconds or so for it to come back down, even if no one was on it
I miss how smooth sym used to be. Like she is still smooth as hell but the way she placed that teleporter and those turrets. Smooth and satisfying. Also the shield placing was satisfying and HER VOICELINES. she always talked so monotone and calm, now its more energetic and uppidy. Idk
i dont think there has ever been a hero worse than support symmetra. kinda funny how future heroes just did what she was supposed to do as a support better. makes you think why they even tried going towards support first... i think they just want to have 3 supports at launch, considering zenyatta was horrible too back in the day.
This video belongs in the museum
2 years
Gods, I miss this game so much! So much fun!! Take me back to this time please!
sooo nostalgic
Better than the meta slave, power hungry community the game is today
@@GoldnPeait was way more meta in overwatch 1 but that’s what made it fun lol
BOY DO I HAVE NEWS FOR YOU
HOP IN
Watching these old gaming videos i always wonder where all these people are right now, i dont know its a weird feeling
Well you can see where I am right now, I'm still uploading overwatch content lol
I don't appear in any of these videos, but I did play in at least summer-autumn of 2016. I'm here.
God this version of the game looks so different to how it is today. It doesn't look anywhere near as hectic or fast paced.
Omg, right? OW2 feels waaaay faster, and in this video so little is going on compared to what you would see today
Wow it weird to see how the game has changed.
This makes me sad in 2023. Why? Why did they delete OW1?
This game was so great.
Yet as a hardcore OW fan at launch, I haven’t played OW2.
ow2 is actually good, i play ow1 but the 2 has a lot of good things tho
@@15_nanaI cant bring myself to play it. I hear it’s really toxic but also the team comp changes I dint like.
It’s just not the same.
OW "2" is not even worth the time. This version is and will always be superior.

I miss the old ow music

Symmetry could have still been a support with this specific kit IF her photon shield had a Regen effect like Zenyatta
It did
After 3 second it regenerate!
she doesn't fit as a healer/support in modern overwatch
I really hope that they give us a mode with old hero abilities so we can relive the nostalgia I would give anything to play old mercy and sym again😩
Well…
@ tbh I never thought the day would come but I’m so happy😭
you're in luck
You got it
@@ItsKople Broo they should make it permanent lowkeyy
weird times.. weird times.
Weird but good. Better than anything we have now.
why did the game look so much more cozy back then 😭 i prefer this than ow2
ult charge is INSANE
Overwatch seemed so slow and lowkey calm back then even though everyone said it wasnt idk
This is before esports and try harding
Back when they weren't obsessed with sanding down every edge that made the game unique
Nice round ball of a game. Completely imbalanced and constantly rolling everywhere
1 support, 1 tank, 4 dps. aaaah, the good old times
No, I demand this version back
4 DPS, 1 tank and symmetry as "support".
It won't take too long for marvel rivals to go down the exact same route
The real Overwatch. It looked, played and felt so much better than 2.
Sym was so different, no one had rare skins yet, everyone was so bad, the UI is so primative. So crazy to see
The old music hits so hard.
i miss this version of symmetra so much . her current season 8 feels like crap
LMAO the delusion

Good stuff Abzu :). It's like looking at myself when playing Symmetra.
Very beautiful memory there
Thank you
Back when every character wasn't a slightly copied version of themselves
you say it like sym 1.0 was good
@@polar6066Well yeah but at least she was kinda different. Though I prefer when sym had a shield generator.

Those days, when mercy would revive all the team, when Cassidy was Mcree
I missed the turret deployment animation. It felt magical.

Ain’t no way 2:50 that can’t be real you go 2mph on a elevator 💀 anyone could easily dive that 😭 that is so funny
The elevators also were not activated by players, and just went up and down on a cycle. If you missed getting on one, you would have to wait 15 seconds or so for it to come back down, even if no one was on it
This showed up my recommendation. This bring back memories. It's too bad sym feel awful to play now.
SYMMETRY WAS A SUPPORT??
Yes, even though she did zero healing. She is probably the most reworked hero in the game's history
11:18 is the potg, Just incase anyone wants the time stamp.
What a fun looking game. I hope the developers have given this game the love it deserves over the years😊
BRING ME BACKKKK
Id love to just travel back in time and define the meta as i reign on top as king
I miss how smooth sym used to be. Like she is still smooth as hell but the way she placed that teleporter and those turrets. Smooth and satisfying. Also the shield placing was satisfying and HER VOICELINES. she always talked so monotone and calm, now its more energetic and uppidy. Idk
Even tho I didn’t play OW1, i kinda like this version more…I was so surprised that she was a support and her abilities kinda swapped
sym was a healer wtf
not a healer but a support she was the only support who couldnt heal
support
Support who couldn’t heal. It’s been a bit of an identity crisis for sym okay and we’re still working through it
just give me one more day
2 years ago? Wtf.. that was a while ago

I miss being 9 years old playing this overwatch.
Now as a 17 year old I’m mad at how badly this game fell off.
Do u miss overwatch 1 i do🥲
Better days
looks better than ow2
Yup, it's in the air
I was thinking the same thing.. wtf happened to ow2
Damn son . back when sym was a healer
Esta es la cosa más hermosa que e visto
Her turrets are useless now lol. She needs to at least place them they say she did here instead of throwing that shit.

The game was so simple and fun and it’s Mccree not cassdiy and his annoying ass flash and fan hamer combo 😭😭💔
blizzard had a valid reason to change his name to cassidy ffs yall just cant stop yapping about it💀
