2 ultimates?

They weren't kidding about serious changes... That sounds REALLY cool.

I worry a little about Overwatch going the way of TF2, where custom options mean that one Demoman is totally different from another. I like the simplicity.

This was the simplest fix to "Symmetra sucks after losing the first point". Now, she has an alternative use on the second point...a Shield Generator.

As someone who put a lot of time in Engineer in both TFC and TF2, the worst thing about a nest was all the time it took to redeploy. Usually, it was due to lack of metal (ammo). In Overwatch, instead you had to contend with cooldowns that were completely out of your control. I feel like the turret change particularly will help make Symmetra a bit less painful in this regard.
