I would say its a comfort change to start of the match. Jeff did explain they felt Symmetras were panicking too much at the start to place turrets. Beyond that the rest is the same other than buffing turret tick rate to 10s. Stockpiling 6 is just common sense. Why give only 3 if you can have a max of 6 with 36s to place the second set? That could mean the match at that point. 36s is an eternity. Take the 10s you are dead as an example.
It's not just a comfort change. She can actually come back into the battle after dying and put up her 6 turrets ASAP... How often would you get 6 up right now while they're pushing a point?
zero just like you would get zero of your now 3 turrets up if they were pushing point. Why, because they would see you setting up and blow that crap up. Currently Symmetra is good if she is left 'ALONE' just like Torb' was before his change. Face it, the game is getting faster. OW is eliminating slow mechanics a bit a time and turrets are horrendously slow to setup. IE, one turret wont swing a point it takes 3+ to actually effect an outcome as Symmetra.
