"Echo being DPS is unfair!"

Legit if you do not like it, do not play the game. I think she’s cool regardless.

This applies to all sorts of complaints coming from everyone :man_shrugging: Like seriously, if you don’t enjoy the game, don’t play it. Stop torturing yourself. Go do something you enjoy.

To the people who are on here complaining and saying they’re going to quit, they won’t. They just want to be children about it.

I’m not going to quit the game, bit I am disappointed that supports won’t get to enjoy this type of kit.

The fact that changing the sticky bombs to healing would’ve made her a Zen-style off support is what stings the most.

I just think overall these people are ungrateful. They’re FINALLY adding SOMETHING new to the game. Enjoy it and move on.

Uh, okay? :woman_shrugging:

I’m dead serious. You don’t need to complain. If people are “so sick of the devs not listening” then why do you endorse it by still playing their game?

I rarely complain, you can check my post history and see for yourself. And I’m not still playing the game because playing the same 7 supports is pretty boring and stale now.

Stale? The game has been the same pretty much for 3 years. Adding new heroes only makes the hype last so long.

That’s your opinion, I can keep interest in this game for a lot longer with a new support hero to play and learn.

Echo may be cool. But her kit is perfect to make both tanks and support a hell of an experience. As if flankers and snipers weren’t enough.

I’m still happy Echo is on the game, and she looks super fun (I play every role a little), I’m just saying adding a DPS when the queue times are already so bad is questionable.

Can’t be excited for a new hero making the game feel fresh if you can’t play her yourself xD

Wonder what queue times are going to be like with a greater urge to play DPS

So the problem with this is, just because some people find a few things to be heavily against best interest in the game’s health… doesn’t mean they should give up something they love as a whole, or something they see great potential in.

This sort of advice is dumb af afaic, and isn’t any less ignorant sounding than what you’re posting against.

PREACH BROTHER!! Those dps players should learn and stop complaining about long dps queues!

It wouldn’t make sense as a support kit. Imagine if you changed her damaging abilities to heal. What would that gameplay actually be like?
Really boring because as a support, you’d be in your backline to heal your team, you wouldn’t be able to use the mobility and overall kit in the same exciting way that a dps role allows her to.

Just an unkillable heal bot really.

Beautiful… just. Beautiful.

If I were you I’d be more worried about how many people follow this rule because in case you haven’t noticed overwatch playerbase keeps dwindling. Bleeding players faster is a loss for all of us

A lot of people will cry about the game being ruined now but most will continue to play the game

At this point I kinda hope they just get rid of role queue entirely, at least in quick play. If they want to still make DPS heroes every once in a while, the queue times will always be miserable.

Like, imagine if she had been a support with a similar kit? Lower her damage slightly, make sticky bombs heal and be controllable with individual shots and a mass detonate on Interact, and boom you have a really really fun Zen style off support even DPS players could enjoy.
