Teleporter Location Visibility

[Integral-1169]

When a teammate finds the opposing team’s teleporter the character announces “Found the enemy’s teleporter” (or something of that sort).
When this occurs, can there be a permanent indicator floating in the virtual-world showing where the teleporter was found?

Not much point to adding this when she’s got a rework that’ll make this a non-issue on the horizon.

[HIGHFIST-11495]

Considering it’s about to be re-worked completely there wouldn’t be much point.

[Integral-1169]

Ah, cool. Can you/anyone provide the link to the rework notes?

[Xaron-1831]

Well, the teleporter is still going to be destroyable. Wallhacks should reveal it.

I few of the post. (These forums suck… getting better links)

Symmetra Rework Update?

I don’t really have visuals to show you sadly, but we’re very much in progress working on her still. There have been a few changes to her as we’ve been play testing her since I last posted. Firstly, her turrets are still projectiles, but they are now able to be destroyed while in the air. This makes it harder to throw them directly at people in a fight to force them to turn around to kill it. Now you have to be a little more sneaky where you throw them or just pre-place them. Secondly, her tel…

The teleporter now works as follows: You place the exit like you normally do, except that you can place it up to 25 meters away, instead of only right in front of you. When you place the exit, the entrance automatically gets built right in front of you instead of at your spawn. It lasts only a short time but allies can use it freely as they normally do, but there are some new things that can teleport as well. We’re experimenting with what works and what doesn’t but currently you can teleport things such as Torbjorn turrets, D.Va’s exploding mech, Junkrat tire, etc. This has lead to some sneaky/fun plays that are really unique to her. It also allows you to get onto high ground on offense with a comp that might otherwise have trouble doing so. The health has been lowered to 300 and the entrance is now attackable as well. If either die, the other is destroyed as well.

Basically it’s a front/mid-line thing now. Only marginally more “hidden” than her Sentry Turrets.

Right but it’s not really going to matter if the enemy team knows where either end is if it only stays up for a few seconds. It’s not an on going threat like the current teleporter is.

[Xaron-1831]

It won’t stay up for just a few seconds, it’ll last longer than that. On top of that, it’ll tell you where everyone is coming out at.

I guess at this point I probably should have just posted everything at the same time since everything always makes more sense in context so ill just post whats remaining at this point.

Her teleporter is moving to her E ability and the Photon Barrier is moving to her ult, but these have massive changes as well.

Her Photon Barrier has moved to her ultimate and is now very different as well. Instead of placing a moving barrier, she places a static barrier wall that effectively is infinite in size and has 5000 health. She places this wall much like Mei places her Ice Wall, which means you can place it at some range and you can also change the orientation.

This is all fairly early still and we’ve only recently started working on the visuals/animations/sounds etc, so its still a little ways out. I don’t have an ETA on when you guys will get a chance to see and/or play with this but hopefully it wont take too long.

You’re welcome.
