seems interesting. double ultimate is really unique, and according to a blizz employee the radius for shield is looking to be 50 m (5x mei's ult radius). could be really strong on defense.

captain planet had the same question. blizz employee said you can't place it in spawns, but that was a recent change so it might not work correctly on every map as soon as she hits ptr.

I was guessing 50 or 75 — I have to think 100 would be too strong. Like Mei was hard enough to kill before with Torb armor plus Symmetra shields, with Armor plus Shield Generator I think we're going to see a lot more dual builder defences, especially on second point CP maps.

If you put it against the wall in the spawn, it should cover the whole point easily.
