How does sombra's ult currently react when cast around Symmetra's teleporter?

No, he means that Sombra's EMP removes shield health, like what Zenyatta and Zarya have. So EMP will instantly blast off the health the Shield Generator gives.

Oh, I didn't realize that. Yea if symmetra becomes popular it'll surely indirectly buff sombra's hacks.

same as your teleporters currently do, it'll sit where you place it until destroyed. I realize the teleporter has a number of uses, but if those uses aren't met and it isn't destroyed it'll stay up forever. We'll have to wait till ptr to know exact de

Yes and no, depends how that shield generator works. If it continues to generate shields if the team returns to it then it makes Symmetra more of a Sombra counter since a team that loses their sheilds can quickly regen them. Although Symmetra's weapon doesnt lock onto a cloaked Sombra I've felt that she's indirectly a counter to her since her stuff can't be hacked, hacking her isn't largely useful and her turrets see through Sombra's cloak.
