It’s basically a 50/50 chance.
Echo either hard carries or does less damage than the mercy.
Is it just me or is echos impact very minimal until she gets ult/actually manages to get a pick?
In Contenders Echo play usually does not go very well and it’s kind of odd.
I think her impact is if she’s allowed to do damage and if she can actually land her different speed projectiles+having nice tracking
Echo is like a vulture and most of her kills come from focusing beam. Echo pops off when her team pops off, she’s not like an Ashe/Widow/Hanzo that can carry the team on her shoulders.
Echo’s ultimate has carry potential, but it’s dependent on what the enemy team is running and what she can actually get an angle to select.
All that adds up to a solid hero, but not the most consistent one. Sort of like Sombra, either it helps carry or falls flat.
On ladder she’s pretty damn good the higher you go.
Her sticky bombs are practically a guaranteed kill if you can land enough of them because they can’t even react fast enough to the E beam that follows up right after.
Echo’s kit is solid, you got flight, sticky bombs decent primary and a beam that melts when the enemy is below 50%. I pick her over Genji because she does more damage.
She is very good in GM because tanks actually do create space, and draw aggro enough to give her time and space to make some plays.
In lower ranks, u can get 2 kills with echo, and still dont make any progress. She can make a big impact with her Ultimate, and swing a fight very fast towards her team. But if your tanks are passive, or straight up lose each time the front battle, not even a good Echo, or her Ult is gonna save the game.
Also: Sometimes all it needs is 1 hitscan to completely zone her out or shut her down. Better to switch then and try some other hero.
