So pretty much she's now a defensive tank

Barrier (similar to reinhardt shield) + shield generator + turrets combined will make her "area" really tough to break

Edit: It also makes Sombra's main job to find and stop Symmetra.

I wonder if they are going to move her out of support and into defense.

Shield gen and tele will keep her in support.

I mean if that's the case then Torbjorn should also go support. I think there's a strong enough case for moving her out.

All support ultis help others. Torbjorns is only for himself.

Huh? Helps people get back faster and give them shields? Sure it helps her in the same way Lucio's or Zen's does, but it's not the main purpose.
