Echo Nerfed on PTR

General Discussion
1

So one right click should do like 180, no longer can kill 200hp heroes alone. Ult requires a little more to get. Not too much of an increase. Full patch notes are below.

HERO UPDATES

Ashe

The Viper (Secondary Fire)

  • Updated lever action sound to better line up with when she can shoot again

Echo

Sticky Bombs

  • Explosion damage reduced from 30 to 25

Duplicate

  • Ultimate cost increased by 16%

BUG FIXES

Heroes

Tracer

  • Fixed a bug where blinking mid-air could allow Tracer to move slightly vertically upward

Echo

  • Fixed a bug where a Duplicated hack or sleep wouldn’t persist 3 seconds after the duplication ended

People aren’t mad about how fast she gets it but the fact that she can ult multiple times while she’s duplicated. I don’t understand this one.

These make little difference to how stupidly OP she is.

Just another example of the dev’s incompetence

All tracer mains are sad now. I hoped so much that it would stay xD.

Her viability depended on Sticky Bombs one shotting, I think she’s arguably just a trash poke damage character now.

No we are not. It fixed her bugged blink. It allowed her to bypass the jump check anyways. It was never staying and I am the one who actually reported it to devs.

She did not rely on sticky oneshotting. Echo relied on sticky bombs getting you to below half hp so she can gank you with a sniper beam .

Echo is balanced now.

On tanks maybe, vs any co-ordinated team blowing all of your cooldowns and having to stick around longer to get a pick is pretty commital.

So you wanted her to stay an overtuned mess?

I don’t know. I don’t like the ult charge nerf and would prefer for her to have a 1 ult limit instead. They have to put a limit or duplicate will take over the meta. In the Shock vs Seoul matches, seoul purposely played bad tanks like hog and ball so echo didn’t have a good dupe target.

I thought her base kit was alright, the ultimate was just looney toons.

man dps really just aren’t allowed to be impactful ever

echo was going to bring me back, but I guess ill just uninstall again.

tanks and supports can have insta kills, and 0-100 insta heals, but god forbid a dps actually be able to kill quickly

No, it was probably partly because of stuff like this


0:32 if it doesn’t do it automatically.

People that threaten to “uninstall again” are quite funny thinking it will have any impact on anything :slight_smile:

Widow, Hanzo, Doom, Reaper and others have effective 1-shots so I’m lost as to how they can’t do damage?

Go uninstall because I’m sure that will swing the developers in your favor :slight_smile:

Oh good, they refined the Tracer change.

That doesn’t really change things on tanks.
