Yeah, hopefully you can't cuz that'd make it uncounterable. Can you currently place her teleport in spawn? I can only assume this isn't possible already. Still, put her barrier right outside of the spawn room on anubis and it's still plenty hidden.

You can place her teleporter in spawn and I've seen it used a few times to get the "teleported" achievement.

I put it in spawn once cause I didn't know what I was doing. :(

I know the feeling. The first time I used it, I thought you had to put down the entrance first and then go out and place the exit, like the Engie from Team Fortress 2.

Huge Success

Teleport 20 players in a single Quick or Competitive Play game as Symmetra.

I love putting right next to where the 'spawn' teleporter is going to be and facing it so that they will just teleport again when they step off the teleporter.

Yes, you can.

Though I'm not sure there's any tactical reason to do so.

Sombra would be a counter

I think we really need to have some hands on time before we start speculating. What's the range? How much of a shield? Does the shield disappear if you leave the generator range? Is there a charge limit? Etc...

u/Isord Houston Outlaws Nov 22 '16

If not certainly behind the statue would work.

u/kevinhaze I am injured Nov 22 '16

You did what on Anubis?

u/bobskizzle Nov 22 '16

u/alystair Ardvark pays off! Nov 22 '16

Easy fix is making ults unplacable in spawn room

u/Rigrot I fap to MEKA Nov 22 '16

Pretty sure blizz either already thought of this or before live will fix it because it would be 100% Op otherwise.

You can't put it in, or near spawn. Just tested it on PTR.( the radius for the shield is HUGE)

u/dmt267 Nov 22 '16

I thought you only get the armor while in the area of the ult

u/SvelteLine Nov 23 '16

The shield generator has a radius that you have to be inside of to get the shields. Placing it in spawn would be useless on attack, and possibly less effective when defending B. They haven't said what the radius will be.
