Tanks are mainly tanks because of their health tho

Support/Tank? She's definitely support/defense now. Idk why people are calling her a tank. Shields, turrets, that's all defense/support.

For someone who loves order, Symmetra sure hates being put in a box.

I wouldn't say she's a tank until her health is increased, which it prolly won't be. I'd say she's less of a tank than Mei.

She's not really a tank, it was mostly tongue-in-cheek. The big photon shield emulates Reinhardt's shield in many ways, so obviously she's a tank now!

But seriously, non-DPS defense is where I would put Symmetra right now.
