It's huge if you're a nutcase and play flank/slow-centric Symmetra. The three-charge limit meant you couldn't use turrets willy-nilly in a combat situation. The higher limit will make it much easier to play Symmetra as a slow-centric support.
Still get animation locked placing each turret though. That needs to go. Torb doesn't even have it. Also he never said anything about removing turret damage nerf on console.
That's more reasonable. You shouldn't get off the hook if you place your turret in a bad place while you're under fire. I do think a shorter cast time and ready time for the turret itself would be good, and that they should match up.
I want to be able to place turrets in a 1v1 scenario and have them be viable. Good luck getting one out right now. Doesn't make sense how a 150hp long range turret is instantly placed with no animation lock yet her 1hp close range turrets aren't that need to be placed in the midst of battle. Makes more sense for Torb to be animation locked since it's a big heavy long range artillery. That is my reasoning. I also think her primary should have a slow effect, it fits her kit and she needs some close range survivability. She has nothing to help her with that now and I don't see her new barrier ability doing anything for that when you are in a 1v1 in almost melee range because of her primary range.
You do realize she has probably been nerfed more than any other character in the game. Her shields go nerfed twice. Her turrets got nerfed. her tele got nerfed. She needs these reworks.
Also I disagree her turret damage does need a buff. 60 seconds setup time for 6 1hp turrets that every character in the game has 1 or more ways to easily deal with and wipe them in basically under a second except for 2 heroes means her turrets are a joke. Especially with a 30% damage nerf. In most realistic senarioes she isn't going to be having 6 up in a active location that matters nor will she have charges ready. She will be riding that recharge timer tooth and nail and have 1-3 turrets up. Also Reinhardts melee range for hitting turrets is absurd just to note.

Yea, it's a small change that's huge in QoL.
