Recently, Blizzard has decided to change the healer Symmetra. She was very weak and not powerful enough as a healer or anything else. They have changed some of her abilities and made her current ones more powerful. One of the major changes is that her ability to cast shields has been removed and replaced with an ability that shoots a moving shield that absorbs damage. This ability could be very useful for pushing onto an objective as the shield moves a walking pace. Her ultimate has also been changed so that she can switch between her teleporter and a shield generator, that automatically give shields to everyone on her team. She now also starts with 6 turrets available. her primary fire range has also increased from 5 meters to 7 meters.
However, I have been wondering if she should still be considered as a healer as she does not have any abilities that can restore players health, apart from one of her ultimates, the shield generator. I believe she should be a defence hero as even Soldier 76 (who is an offence hero) can do more healing than her.
