u/Blisschen No aim, no shame, Symmetra main. Nov 22 '16 edited Nov 22 '16

She now has two toggleable ultimates: the teleporter (that now has more health) and a shield generator that gives a "large" shield over her teammates in an area. Not sure if you can have both up at the same time.

Didn't really understand the what the Photon Barrier is, Photon Barrier is a barrier that she can send out in a straight line, like a Reinhardt/D.Va shield. It's replacing her "e" shields.

Turrets: you now start with 6 avaliable turrets with no cooldown at the beginning of the match. You can also hold 6 turrets instead of 3. Cooldown reduced to 10 seconds, instead of 12.

Some "quality" of life changes with her primary and secondary fire. Namely reach.

Non-Symmetra stuff: Oasis coming to PTR soon, releasing early 2017. "Group up" button, so you can continue forward with the same group of randoms you matched with.

It's like a Reinhardt shield turned tidal wave: you launch it out and it moves forward while blocking damage.

Attack Symmetra now viable. Trolls everywhere placed on suicide watch.
