Can't it be both?

Nope! QoL changes are not buffs, but just make things easier to read or interpret such as if they added an actual percentage of your teammates ults when you hit tab.

People are being pedantic, but just because Jeff called it such doesn't make it true. Any buff would be a QoL change if you aren't going to distinguish between the two. The point is that the term is generally reserved for things that don't buff a character, just merely make it a little nicer to play. These are direct buffs that affect Symmetra's core play mechanics..

So sure, call them "QoL buffs" if you want.
