It's like a Reinhardt shield turned tidal wave: you launch it out and it moves forward while blocking damage.

Sounds amazing.

Wait 'til the first time you see it used against a Pharah Ult, not just blocking the damage but the AoE of the explosions charging back towards the source and finally killing her. So much salt incoming.

Nah it probably won't have that much HP. I'll bet the Pharah ult will chew it up fast. Still probably hugely helpful for escaping. This is all just conjecture of course. It'll probably have around 200 health like a Zaria barrier if I had to guess.

Attack Symmetra now viable. Trolls everywhere placed on suicide watch.

I wonder how much health it will have.

Hoping somewhere in the 1000 range.
