It depends what you mean by overtakes as they are both a PHP framework? It also depends on what you are trying to accomplish with either framework. Laravel uses Symfony components if that helps.
All depends on how you acclimatize yourself. There's hardly any one upping here since both these platforms offer decent features for any project. I agree above that some components of Laravel come from Symfony.
Laravel mostly use Symphony components. Symphony is excellent for big and complex projects. Laravel is opted by many developers because of its rapid development, speed, and performance.
