Echo 2.0 upgrade

Im calling this topic echo 2.0 incase butt hurt people will say stop reworking things they’re fine when its just an idea

Echos current job is rushing to build ult just to transform to rush to build ult lol, kind of boring dont you think?

How about reworking her into a support? first change her ult into a 10 second cooldown abiltiy to copy anyone so people who can play ANY character can strategise unqiue plans to suit their scenario it will be the “E” button (replacing her beam). They stay that hero for 15 seconds or until you tap the “E” button again to cancel and revert back to echo

As a support her primary fire is dropped to something similar to baptise but she shoots faster, her secondary fire are still like her sticky bombs but can stick to allys then absorb into friendlys to heal them (if it hits the ground/wall aoe explosion will still heal ally if nearby)

Her ult is a healing object maybe a sphere that you can shoot and sticks to walls or the ground and creates a healing zone (like baptise lamp but heals) you can also shoot and it sticks to a friendly similar to a zen healing orb

OR maybe her ult resurrects herself and as she gets up she shoots healing energy in a ring regenerating team mates hp

OR something unqiue like shoots at a person to eat enemy ult charge to heal herself

What would you add or change?

Look it’s not bad but if you’re playing her to get ult you’re playing her wrong
Just saying

We will be getting more healers and tanks in like 2 months. Echo is a damage hero, and an awesome one at that. Let it go.

That wouldn’t be very good on a support, as your team would effectively be running just one support for the duration of that ability (unless you duplicate a support). That’s the reason she’s a dps; the ability fundamentally cannot work on another role.

Echo’s currently the most successful projectile hero and seems to have a reasonably unproblematic kit while also being quite fun. There’s no good reason to rework her.

If any DPS are going to be reworked (which I’m personally all for), then we should be looking at the ones who have consistently struggled and been unsuccessful in the role, aka, utility.
