It wouldn't be so bad ig f the ult simply rotated the same way Gara's other ablities do, as it it the one path that takes damage will never be able to protect an objective beyond trivial encounters (at which poiont you don't need defence because you can simply kill anything nearby with ember/octavia/saryn or many other AE frames).

Jump off the floor, aim glide to the guess-estimate-height, shield goes up, click to trigger the preferred range, one panel breaks instantly, objective takes damage, mass vitrify CCs them for less time than the barrier lasted, repeat cycle until out of power.

Or you just bring frost and one button-spam the cheaper bubble (Gara's is an ult 100 base, frost is a 75 power base), for consecutive 4 second invunerability phases that feeds absorbed damage  into the total health of the bubble barrier you don't need to micro to apply well and have a clear on-screen prompt telling when the entire barrier is at risk, wwherein you pop the barrier again and the remaining HP compunds with the new 4 second absorb.

Some of us were hoping Gara would finally provide us with a viable frost alternate, as it stands she's more of a damage-reduction support class with CC based on terribly scaling shield abilities and some damage scaling that takes micro, high co-ordination and significant power recharge to make good use of. Trinity/harrow/equinox can do something similar just by pushing 1-2 buttons every 10 or so seconds.
