Overwatch Bug: Symmetra Turrets Shoot Through Floor in Lijiang Tower Control Center
A quick demonstration of a bug which allows Overwatch players playing Symmetra to place turrets in such a way that they can shoot through the floor. Although these turrets can be hit and destroyed if you get a proper angle on them, they are able to fire at enemies without the enemies being able to fire back, which has serious gameplay ramifications.
It can change the outcome of a match, which is a big issue for the new competitive ranked play game mode Overwatch has recently launched, in addition to just being unfair and unfun to play against. This bug is not the first of its kind. A similar bug was possible to exploit on the Dorado map in Overwatch with Symmetra's turrets being able to shoot through walls at people. The Overwatch development team at Blizzard did fix this issue after players complained that it was negatively affecting gameplay. I guess that this Lijiang Tower bug wasn't caught at the time, which makes sense as Symmetra is a rare pick on Control Point maps.
Hopefully this video will play some part in getting Blizzard to take note of this issue with Symmetra's turrets being able to shoot through the floor in the Control Center round of Lijiang Tower. It has been used against me at least once in the course of play, and it's not fun.
