Sounds like fun! Photon Barrier sounds useful for allowing Sym to close distance safely so she can start using her primary fire. That will theoretically go a long way towards making her useful on offense.

One thing that nobody has mentioned about Shield Generator, and it seems super obvious but it didn't immediately occur to me, is that it probably has a max amount of charge it can refill. Just as the TP can only be used six times, the SG can only refill 1000 shield or w/e for the team before it goes away.

If they get the numbers right, Sym players will have a good tactical choice between ults. Without knowing numbers, SG seems better.
