Why isn't Symmetra's new ultimate infinite?

It would be a pretty decent ultimate if it lasted until destroyed.

If it worked that way you’ll probably find that it would go down quicker than what it already last because everyone will be like “right we need to destroy the barrier”. As it’s on a time limit there will be less of this mentality.

Bastion would be essential to counter Symm!

I think it has a time limit for reasoning, but I do agree.

At least he would be picked. Same with Sombra.

It already lasts a virtual eternity. What is it… 12… 15 seconds? People underestimate how long that is in actual game time. If I was playing Widow and that thing went up I would flip my keyboard over in a fit of rage and go make a sandwich.

Blizzard sure seems to like reworking characters so they can give them worthless ultimates

I… genuinely think people continue to underestimate how good being able to split a capture point in half for 15 seconds is.

And your team can deal damage while the enemy team can’t.

This game already makes me rage and frustrating for having to many shields, stuns & sleeps and you want an infinite 5000hp shield. Majority of us including me would’t be until all shield hps are zero. Lol.

5000 is a a lot but not unbeatable, I wouldn’t mind it being up until killed

It will already be the best widow-counter ult in the game. 15 seconds is really long. If it was infinite they would lower the HP to like 2000-3000k instead of 5000k. Personally I’d rather have a really strong shield than a weak one that lasts longer.

Argh, we’re going to need shield piercing rounds now more than ever.

because its too opprsive. having to deal with a shield generator during late game is just frusttrating.
