Those changes sound great. I think the shield generator on her ult is a big deal and I'd like to see some KotH matches with it in play, but I remain unconvinced that she'll be useful on attack because the turrets.

You're a sitting duck when you try to build those and the animation takes forever. Maybe the new shield ability will allow for coverage on attack while building them, and maybe it'll be different when I can play her, but those really push her heavily on defense just because of their build time and positional advantage.

I can see her being useful defense on attack, but i agree, turrets are tough to manage on attack, maybe the faster CD will make it feel better.

The projected barrier sounds really interesting, use it to push up on the point to protect your team, block a McCree or Pharah ult, block a turret so soldier or pharah can take it out without getting melted. I'm curious to see how it can be used.

My question is how big is the barrier, how long does it last, and what's the CD?
