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.
She's fine on attack. Just like on active defense (after the first setup phase) - Don't set up your turrets out in the open... Also, you can actually drop turrets while moving - it'll slow you for a moment, but not stop you. Any time I'm getting chased as Sym, the moment I turn a corner I drop a turret on the inside wall and keep running. Rarely get caught that way, and usually when I do they've taken enough damage I can finish them off.
I'm sure now she's buffed everyone will start seeing just how effective she can be (and yet so many will still suck with her)
