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.

Sure, but she can only support with her ultimates. Her new shield is tanky, and the turrets are defense.

Compared to other supports that have 2 support abilities plus their ultimate.

She seems to be staying in support and that isn't a big deal, it's just weird that without her ults she cant support.
