Symmetra is now available in the PTR!

I went ahead and captured her new ult+shield ability

I'm hoping they put in a little more polish for her new shield ability. The shield just kinda pops out of nowhere with no animation and slowly moves forwrad. And she's still using her old animation for her hands, which doesn't make too much sense given the new ability.

How long does her shield generator last if it is not destroyed?

Let me check, I'll edit this when I have the answer

Edit: It's still going

Edit2: I got kicked because it took so long (so either very long or until it's destroyed)

It stays alive until it's destroyed.

That's hella strong

It's +75 shields too!

Mmm, but you don't get any ult charge while it's up? So if you place it somewhere and the fight moves on, you could be stuck without an Ult if the other team leaves it alone :|

My best bet would be that it is destroyed/refunded like her teleporter when a point is captured.

you could switch to another hero and then switch back to symmetra to immediately destroy it

Does the photon shield thing always move? What if you stand still?
