I just edited my post to include my concept for Echo.
As always, I’m looking for feedback and would be open to consider another Ult
Echo (Secondary Support)
Hero: Echo
Role: Support
Sub Role: Secondary Healer
Affiliation: Overwatch
Playstyle: As several of you have mentiones, I’d also like to see Echo as the new support healer in the game. Her primary healing mechanic would be a shield plus a heal over time effect. For her primary weapon I’ll go the simpler route and would bring back Symmetra’s old alt fire that went through barriers. I have no idea why they changed it. I personally don’t like the wings so those would just be decoration. My concept doesn’t fly or hover.
Look and Feel: By now most of you should have seen her in the Reunion Cinematic
Abilities:
LMB - Neutron Projector / Forget about the silly name for this ability. I’m just bringing back Symmetra’s old alt fire that could go through barriers. We need that back!
E - Reboot / Upon dying Echo enters a dormant state and shuts down. While the respawn timer is going on, Reboot can be activated so Echo can respawn at the spot where she “died” (when the respawn timer ends). If the ability is not used before respawn timer runs out, Echo will respawn at her team’s spawnroom. Effect cannot occur more than once in 45 seconds.
Shift - Plasma Shield / Applies 150 Hp shields to allied hero. Shield lasts for 3 seconds / Applies heal over time effect. 50 health per second for 4 seconds - very similar to Tassadar’s ability in HotS /3 second cooldown. Only healing ability
Passive - Cortex Booster / Upon taking damage, Echo gets 10% movement speed for 2 seconds. Cannot happen more than once every 10 seconds
Ultimate - Neutron Radiation / Echo, generates negative energy around herself that denies all healing on enemies in a 20 meter radius. Lasts for 8 seconds. Echo is not invulnerable and can use her LMB weapon. Upon activation, all allies, in the area of effect of the ability will including herself will receive a Plasma Shield. While the effect lasts she can’t use her regular Plasma Shield ability. This is my take on another defensive ult. It’s basically a Reverse Zenyatta Ult meets Ana’s Anti Heal. Echo can be killed or cc’d out of the ability to stop it’s effects. Unlike Ana’s ability it’s not a skillshot and requires the Echo to stay alive to continue the effect.
I know, it seems I just ran out of original ideas hahaha. Would you like to help coming up with an idea for the ult?
Consider that most of the time this hero would be just shooting and shielding allies, her other ability only works when she’s dead, and the passive just gives speed bonus.
In any case, I’d love to see another defensive ult on top of Zen, Lucio and Brigitte’s.
i can just throw an idea of something out of my mind
Ultimate: Denial (yes the name is trash)
Essentially, echo creates a bubble field arround all her teammates that lasts for 12 seconds
the bubble field has infinite HP and cant be destroyed by normal attacks (unless something like EMP)
not only it protects allies, but it also prevents them from shooting as well
its a half baked idea, i imagine this would help stop a little bit the Q spam, everyone presses Q, you do as well, and all their ultimates go to waste since they cant do anything
i mean…it really wouldnt help for anything other than to stall in overtime,
its mostly as a defensive-only option to control a little bit those istuations where all the enemy team presses Q at the same time and theres no concieable ult to stop that
(i throw in the entire concept jbecause you dont understand with the ult alone)
Hero
Displacer (Support)
100 shields 100 hp
Primary fire: Dart gun:
25 ammo, 5 damage each, Rate of fire similar to soldiers 76 gun, 1 second to reload, Projectile that requires leading to properly hit
Ability 1: Displace:
Upon pressing E you pick a target for the displacement
Allies only. Once the target is picked, You look at the direction where they want them to be, and press primary fire to teleport them there, pressing secondary fire cancels the displacement (its mechnically similar to reapers teleport, it needs a valid location for it to be activated, cant drop people off cliffs) The character that is selected to be displaced will have a blue aura sorrounding them and a proper visual warning for both allies and enemies. 6 second cooldown,
Ability 2: Teleport:
Similar to displace, Pressing this ability opens up,similar to the displace or reaper teleport, a small reticle where they can select where to teleport to wherever they want, 6 seconds cooldown
Ultimate: Time Freeze
The hero freezes everyone in the game both allies and enemies (the timer does NOT count down during this freeze period, nor do ability durations expire) exept for itself. The hero is unable to use his primary fire or melee, Both his abilities now have cero cooldown also display is usable on enemies for the duration, This ability lasts for 15 seconds, During this ability the hero can displace everyone in both teams to however they please, Can be used to stall a point, or to setup a flank on the enemy team, or other crazy strats
Relations to other heros - Good friends with Zenyatta, Dreamer was a student of Zenyatta a couple of years before genji. knows about doomfist and Efi Oladele, listens to Lucios music.
Summary of backstory - He grew up in Greenland with a loving family and lhe learned alot in school, he was more than 5 years ahead of everyone else in his class, he knew english fluently and over 50 digits of pi at 4 years of age, when he was 5 he fled from his home to “become greater”, he had his own shack that he made different inventions, and he had been working on a plane for a while, he said to himself: “today is the day that i test the plane, and fly to atlantis!” The plane had all sorts of abillities, wich are powerful in their own way, and some are kinda useless, but anyway he called his plane, Then he started the motor of the plane, that was now out on the big frozen lake right outside of the shack, and he flew. He flew so far, He felt the air flowing through his long, braded hair. He had made his own working power generator, that gets power by wind, so the plane could fly forever, after a while he saw land. He saw a big palace. He landed. He then stepped out of the plane and was greeted by Zenyatta, and as he had never seen an omnic before, he was frightened. He ran away, and he found a cave and hid in it, he then got out his portable bed, and his plushie called “Fadi”, a brown bear. He ate some food that he had with him and then went to sleep, Zenyatta was very worried for the new kid. He was searching for him all night, and of course he found him. Zenyatta picked the boy up, and took him to his secret room. (new 3v3 map perhaps?) When the little boy waked up he was very scared, but zenyatta meditated and that made him feel calmer. After that they became very good friends and Zenyatta discovered many things about the young boy, but there was one thing that he never said, His name…

Gameplay Details
HP - 200 (150 hp, 25 sheild, 25 armor)
Primary fire - Slime launcher - Shoots out green pools of slime that slowly damages the enemy and reduces speed by 60%. takes 1 ammo per slime pool, has 15 pools before reload. he has a 4 second reload, giving him the longest reload in the game to date.
Secondary Fire - Magic Grenades - Dreamer throws a grenade that heals allies that you hit and reduces all of their ability cooldowns by 6 seconds - takes 10 ammo.
Lshift/Ability 1 - Brade swing - he starts spinning and his long brades (that are now down to hes feet) grab on to any enemies that gets in its way, and throws them away after 2 seconds, 4 second cooldown.
E/Ability 2 - Calculate - Gives an ally a pair of glasses that predict where the shot is going to go. works well with junkrat. 8 second cooldown.
Q/Ultimate - Fly Away - “Im going to atlantis” calls the plane and gets in to it, now he is basically d.va with unlimited boosters, the plane has 1500 HP (500 HP and 1000 armor), its active for 30 seconds, while that seems like a while, its a very weak ult. The plane is primarily used to boop of enemies of the map, as it has a big knockback scalar, it has two abilities, “Smokefield” throws out smokebombs from the bottom of the plane, which creates a field of smoke for 10 seconds, which Dreamer can use once during the ultimate, and “Restore” which gives the plane full HP, which is on a 25 second cooldown, so if you use it once in the first five seconds u can use it twice.
Passive - Believe - gives everyone in a small radius 2 sheild (very slowly declining) for every damage they take.
Other Information - nope, i have alot to tell you about Dreamer, but thats it for now. if you want to know more you can reply with questions and i will aswer them.
