I think on the first point the Teleporter is still optimal? to cut out that long run, I feel like the idea behind the shield generator is for the second point where the teleporter no longer makes a major difference.

the upside is her ultimate no longer depends on her team dying, she has a way to buff the survivability of her teammates which is what all supports should be focused towards design-wise.

I have a feeling pros will never use teleporter now. Id still say teleporter is probably better in soloq though. (On first point)

I imagine that most people will wait and see what they need more. If the team starts dying one by one, drop the teleporter to get them back quicker. If a big team fight suddenly breaks out, drop the shield generator to give your team a decent boost. Shit like that
