They used to have something similar to that. But people would abuse it. Apparently the #1 Widow in the world at the time could never find a match because people "blocked" him.
Yeah. You're right. It's probably the best compromise possible.
No, you choose which one you want.
I imagine it'll function on the same rules as the current teleporter - can't even charge ult until the last one is destroyed.
Here's a question: once applied, do the installation's shields disappear when you get out of its range?
I feel like in quick play anything goes really and I've never thought matchmaking is actually taking place. I've stopped caring so much in that mode since a lot of people are just trying out new characters and very few people care about using mics.
Any other colorblind players struggle a bit with Overwatch? There are a few heroes where this is the case...basically any hero where the enemy might be highline red:
Widow
Hanzo
Especially Zenyatta (since it's only a small red reticle over players)
I wish they would let us change the brightness or color or intensity of enemy highlights. My only option is to use their God awful colorblind modes which make the game even more of a mess to look at. The colorblind option should affect Hud highlights and nothing else.

That Photon Shield just looks like a Zarya bubble. Not at all like what Jeff described.

The shield seems pretty cool. The generator range is enormous. I put in near spawn in the practice range, and I can't get out of range. 75 shields too. Tracer + Symmetra will be awesome.
Generator has 400 health, 350 of it is shields, I assume the same for the teleporter.

Once you are out of the radius, the shields stay on you for 4 seconds (maybe 5, but I don't think so.) Stepping back into the radius gives the shields back instantly.

this is kind of hilarious... now more than ever you will see peeps ulting Symm's teleporter and now shield generator. xD
sounds like a Defender Bubble with Blessing lol

The projected elliptical shield, moves exactly as fast as the characters, I'd love to know if Lucio speeds it up, otherwise the team might run right past it. I'd guess it has infinite health and just goes until it hits the wall. If it can be destroyed, obviously training bots can't do it.
Her kit still favors defense heavily. More likely you go for teleporter for defense on Point A and then you switch to Shield Generator on Point B.
I think the new shield could be good on attack as well, though. Would be great in a push.
Oh, I know, but that's such a niche issue that it's not even a problem.
Just make it so that it doesn't work at really high ranks, where there aren't thousands of players queuing at the same time.
literally a push since teammates can run right behind it. very good change.

Lucio passive speed runs faster than the shield.
I'm not sure how big a fan I am of having 2 ultimates.
One of the biggest strengths of OW is it's clarity. You have 23 characters, and you basically know what each of them is capable of. I don't think Symmetra's 2 ults will cause too much confusions, but I worry about what kind of precedent this sets. I don't want the game to change into something where I have no way to telling what kind of attack an enemy is going to perform on me.

Also it seems 5 nanoseconds.
Seriously, the way he described it was a lot different.
Theyre encouraging smart bubble usage it seems. The one Zarya change that i dont really like but you can still save teammates i guess

The shield has to have HP, right? It'd be pretty busted if it was basically a floating wall that lets you shoot through it.
PS4 and PC are different versions that would require re-purchasing, if that's what you're getting at.

Shield generator is going to be fucking crazy on KOTH, the range is insane.
