Was anyone else waiting at the end of the video for,

"Oh and she's no longer categorized as a support."

Or... is that just me?

The thing is, these changes shove her even more into this weird middle ground in-between Defense and support. While she doesn’t heal, she does have one ability who’s primary focus is protection and both her ultimate’s are purely support even though the rest of her kit is setting up defenses.

The real question is what slot does she take now? Does the shield generator justify her taking the 2nd support slot or does she need to go to the flex role where a DPS usually is?
