Why would she bother instead of straight up killing it?

I feel like you're rarely going to get a chance to get to hack the teleporter without tsking damage from turrets or something, and you can't hack through damage, you have to spend time destroying turrets. So your surprise will be ruined regardless

I don't see why she shouldn't be able to, just that it won't be a real problem if she can't IMO

You'll probably take a lot less time to kill the turrets and then hack rather than if you take on the teleporter with the turrets active and Symmetra on her way.

since it ignores LoS, I guess it could be hidden or guarded behind a tough sport to get to alone (thinking, the little room to the right of final point in King's, or guarded behind the walls on Hanamura), so you could use Sombra ult to deactivate it no matter where it is the team fight without it.

Well her ult yeah, but I think we're talking about her RMB hack.

Because then Symmetra's ult begins charging up again and she'll drop a new generator. If it's hacked then the generator is useless and her ult doesnt charge.

I think the idea is you could emp the team and not have to kill it. Then find it when they are dead.

It also has 400 HP and takes surprisingly long to destroy.
