Couple small corrections, they didn’t say that alt fire won’t pierce shields, only enemies, and that it explodes on contact with enemies and terrain. The sentries’ HP was multiplied by 30, not tripled. Otherwise this seems like an accurate and concise summary.
I am certain they said it wouldn’t
Her alternate fire is still a charge-up large projectile, but it has a bunch of important changes as well. First off, it charges to max charge in 1 second, down from 2 seconds. Next, the projectile speed has increased significantly, currently it has changed from 10 m/s to 30 m/s. Lastly, instead of piercing enemies, it now impacts enemies/environments and explodes, dealing area damage around it. We’ve been heavily iterating on how much damage this ball deals now, but a direct shot has been hovering in the area of 130ish, with a large % of the damage coming from a direct impact (rather then the explosion).
Emphasis on:

Nothing about barriers mentioned.
she sounds interesting, i can understand symm one tricks, they are forced to learn new hero, which is new concept for them, they will adapt in time
