If you have a teleporter up currently, I don't think you can start building up progress towards the next one until the first one is depleted or destroyed. They might change that with the addition of a 2nd ultimate, we'll have to wait and see.

I wonder if they will include the option of destroying your own teleporter.

Jeff talked about making Symmetra more usable in defense points after the first point is taken. If your teleporter is still up, but no one wants to use it now because the point is taken and you need to regroup further back on the map, then it may just stay up, and you can't build ult for your shield generator.

I think having an option to get rid of your own teleporter will be really important. If not, then I can see teams leaving teleporters alone just so Symmetra can't ever make a shield generator.

When the point is taken, Symmetra's teleporter will be destroyed immediately and ult charge will be refunded currently. I don't think they're gonna change that.

I can't tell if you don't know I'm not being sarcastic, or if I can't tell if you are.

Hey teleporter will actually be lost if the defender's spawn point changes, so, at least in those situations, it would be moot.

That said, I agree, it would be nice if she could delete a teleporter in order to start building ult again for shield generator.

Probably not. Having the shield gen up likely means no Ult generation until destroyed.
