I was thinking of Symmetra’s datamined voicelines before her rework happened, and one of them was the idea of augmenting shields and stuff. Might as well give that a shot but instead augment her abilities depending on the active ult.
New Symmetra Passive: Hard-Light Augmentation
Symmetra’s abilites are now affected by which ultimate is placed.
Teleporter
Symmetra’s Sentry Turrets recharge faster (6 Second Cooldown) while Teleporter is active, also gaining increased slow and minor improved range.
Photon Barrier can now be used on allies to give them a frontal shield that lasts 3 seconds, is smaller, and only absorbs 300 damage.
Shield Generator
Sentry Turrets gain a shield similar to Zarya’s Particle Barrier. This Shield will block 1 damage however absorb any 1 instance of damage dealt ex. if it’s a one-shot move like D.Va’s Ultimate the turrets will not be destroyed however the shield will. This shield has a 25 second cooldown.
Photon Barrier temporarily shields allies for 50 HP when Photon Barrier passes through them, decaying over 3.5 seconds.
Any of these values are subject to change and I’ll probably make more threads about Symmetra in the future since there’s so many things possible with her hard-light bending kit. What I did here was make Teleporter focus on adding offensive power to her kit and Shield Generator adding defensive power.
