IDK mb it’s just me, but isn’t echo actually the worst hero in the game? Even with bastion in mind? Her primary fire can’t really do anything, her fly is slow af as well as her hovering. Her rightclick is almost impossible to land perfectly from the range she usually fight and even then it’s useless if you can’t secure the kill and her beam is the only thing that can actually do something, but only against halfhp heroes and at you still need to be at the range where you can be killed easily. She need even more pocketing than pharah and it’s just sad.
Does anyone else have this problem or it’s just me being too bad at playing echo?
Echo is definitely one of the higher skillcap heroes in the game, so it is probably you. But keep in mind that many of her hitscan counters are very meta right now, and there aren’t a lot of supports that can provide enough support to an Echo to keep them aggresive.
Play her doomfist i guess? I slide down roofs so when i kill something i can fly away. Flank. I usually keep my fly as an escape tool. It’s how i see higher ranked echo players use her.
she’s a combination between Genji & Pharah.
assassin like Genji with pharah’s movement.
You jump on a target out of no where, and if it didn’t react at time you put everything you have against it, start with bombs, then move to primary and when below 50% use your finishing move.
She’s very effective against big targets with low mobility and not a lot of range.
Reinhardt,Pharah,Hanzo,Brigitte,Doomfist,Junkrat,Orisa,Hammond.
I didn’t include reaper & Mei here since they can mess her combo with their cryofreeze & wrath form.
Take in mind Echo has a really high damage output with all of her abilities so she’s a better option than pharah against things like shields that require a lot of focus.
You are a flying toolbox, i’m not gonna call her Moira level but you don’t need extreme higher thinking capabilities in most fields of play to fly in, bombs 15 clip primary 200dps laser, fly out. I don’t know man.
Focus on tanks. All tanks have exploitable aspect of their kits. Echo also is a good shield breaker so you can pressure enemy tanks before trying to make a move.
Once you win team fights use your silent floating to assassinate the earliers kills to force a stagger.
When you have your Ult use them on the best tank your enemy has. The best use of the ability is to use it at the beginning of the fight and force the enemy tanks to 2v3 you for space. Be aggressive. You can’t die anyway.
Swap if you are getting sniped by hyper aware hit scan players
