Echo Possible Buff (?)

What if during Echo’s ult (Duplicate), Echo’s duplicate duration meter can be filled with eliminations? It will still decrease with time, but it works like Moira’s M1 where she heals herself by dealing damage, but instead of healing herself, Echo gains a percentage of her duration meter per eliminations (like Genji’s dash reset mechanics).

Perhaps it will somehow be a buff to keep Echo’s duplicate ult going.

I ain’t saying implement it into the game but I wanted to try out echo who does not have a duplicate cooldown. Be toxically fun but very very broken

I think if you get into a situation where that would add any significant duration to it, you already won the fight. At that point you’re just trolling someone in the spawn room with the “You can’t switch until the enemy Echo’s Duplicate ends” sign, while probably wishing you could switch back to Echo yourself to get your mobility and spam back.

No.

Echo is fine the way she is

Just like with Vizor?

I don’t think it’s good to change Echo like this because that tiny amount of time could result in another ult so that would equal to death.

Could flip the match around, plus yea Echo is fine as she is.

Echo does NOT need a buff right now @ all.

Echo could use some work… but the last thing she needs is more Ultimate power. Her ult is pretty much the most important part of her kit. She’s kind of like Genji in that she’s just in the back spamming attacks till ult.

It already cleanses Echo of all status ailments, heals her twice to full HP and potentially lets her use some Ult’s twice in one Transformation.

Echo’s Ult does not need a buff, if anything it could use a nerf or two and then buff some of her other abilities.

neat idea, but any buff to a hero thats already the better dps in the game is a no no.

What are you doing stepbro. Your balancing ideas are so weird!

her primary is not really fine

It is. Echo isn’t meant to be relying on her primary and she does 51 damage with all pellets.

but the spread itself is really bad
all 3 projectiles spread out so much from a very short range
sometimes it’s unreliable at close range (<5-7m) too

That’s not true at all.

You can reliably hit Orisa’s head with two pellets at 16m, and at 16m, the spread is so sparse that you can STILL hit all three on Widow’s body - which means you can kill her in just 4 shots (THATS not considering stickies and beam).

Also, you should never be getting with a 5m range of the enemy tbh.

Sounds like a good talent for PvE, would be awful in PvP

buffing one of the strongest heroes in the game isn’t exactly the best idea

yes because getting shattered or meteored striked 4 times sounds like fun for everyone

Echo is literally the strongest projectile DPS in the game and a very frequent in the T500 top 3 picks. She needs nerfs, if anything. Dupe is already one of the best ultimates in the entire game, it doesn’t need to be any stronger.

Finally. Someone gets the joke regarding my name LOL
