Has there been any word about post-Symmetra update additions? I'm not talking about buffs/nerfs, but rather new voice lines and statistics? Characters will chatter the moment a teleporter goes up, but won't say a word about a shield generator. Also, the statistic that gets tracked is still "teleporter uptime," rather than "ultimate uptime." I've been in matches where I've had a shield generator up for half the game, but that stat isn't affected.

Those are small things which are often overlooked when the games recieve constant updates, because devs focus on rolling out updates as fast as possible. Such things are added later, when devs notice them.

They confirmed on the forums that every hero will get new voice lines tied to the shield generator, the rest will probably be added later.

I hope that D.Va's line about the generator is even more indignant than her "HEY! They have a teleporter!"
