I am always amazed of the inability of people to gather information…
OWC is not the 6v6 test they spoke about. Its only testing the waters how the machines handle 6v6 and a nice reminder of the past.
The real 6v6 mode will be tested in two different versions over six weeks in S14.
You can get all this information from the Q&A, the blogpost or the dev update.

The machines handled 6v6 for a few years, I’m sure they will be fine.
And you double down AGAIN… OW2 is an engine upgrade with a lot of stuff going on in the background and some stuff like improved lighting, more effects and so on. It was build for 5v5 and the minimum requirement to run the game was higher than the original OW.
Now with 6v6, they had to change the engine and optimize things. Mainly lower end PC player, lower end console player and switch player are effected.
You have zero idea, how it performs on those machines. Its not like “it has in the past”. No, it has not, because its a different version and quality of the game, that requires more power.

Worked on console a few years ago.
Man, seeing the initials OWC is so weird. I use to work at a company called OWC.
She does have 6 turrets. But sym 1.0 starts off with 3 and then builds them up
Yes she did, but she only had 3 charges on the ability and you had to wait 10 seconds for another one. So she could set up six turrets, but it took at least 30 seconds to set up the final three…
Then they should remove all the useless animations as an option, like the ultimate sparkly effects, hero select, mercy/zen healing indicator, illari captive sun effects, effects when shooting walls, etc.
Lots of little insignificant things that can be disabled which will yield a moderate performance uplift overall.
If you’re really struggling, turn on limit server send rate, then you process half the ticks/second.
I would pay money to keep this mode going,

She can place up to 6 turrets but only can hold a max of 3 charges at a time. This is how it was until December 2016 according to the wiki’s balance change log.
Also this isn’t the 6v6 experiment, which is coming later. This is just a fun little nostalgic trip that they plan to run from time to time.
Though I wish it would remain a permanent mode.
Yeah and they could be destroyed with 1 bullet lol, literally better if you hate turrets
yea i was confused but you have to set them up but it TAKES TIME. so you can set three right away but then you have to wait for the cooldowns for the other 3
thats why she really is a defensive hero… so on maps like eichenwelde or however you spell that you hurry to the choke and set them all up or maybe that volaskya industries map on defense.
she is support but should be in the defensive category imo. doesnt matter tho she is weak as hell
