Symmetra Rework: Defense or Support?

General Discussion

You can target the exit up to 25m away. The entrance spawns infront of you.

symmetra just got her unique voice lines for her dragon skins (including her sheild well) so those to be suddenly removed when they were just added sucks

Wait wait wait. It spans entire maps? Like, through walls and stuff?

I’m telling you right now, you better give her a badass ult callout line for that.

Imagine if they make Junkrat say this randomly if there is a Symmetra on the enemy team.

He said the “exit” can be build some distance away from her and the “entrance” is built at her feet. So like Reaper to some extent yes.

Wait, wait wait… Guys if ults can go through… what if projectiles can go threw? Phara/Junk rockets/bombs? that would be really cool for field manipulation.

Looks pretty nice, instead of removing it, shield generator could get some buff to make it more useful and not just a distraction to enemy team in some cases, like, increase the team’s barriers in range making Reinhardt’s barrier have like 2400 health for example.

Well, they’ll probably recycle her Hindi (?) line she already says when deploying the barrier, but “Photon Barrier deployed” just isn’t going to cut it on the friendly side of things, you know?

Also, I forgot to mention this, but she also needs a bigger, more sweeping hand gesture for deploying it. Not her current quick finger pinch thing.

Geoff, is the concept of a utility only support dead?

For her Dragon skin, she can say “(Evil Laugh) Welcome to my Dimension”.

Can Sombra delete Symmetra’s ultimate with EMP? Or is it something else that isn’t a shield?

These changes sound fun, that primary change just worries me.

I’m also curious if putting shield hp back into her ultimate similar to Lucio or Brigitte would be more engaging. It was, at least to me, a defining characteristic.
