no one will touch her we will all be waiting in the dps que
The thing is, her “insta-ult” ability is about as impossible to balance as the Mercy’s resurrection. It’s either trash or OP, with no middle ground.
And the rest of her kit will still be OP even if damage numbers are cut in half.
Preach. It’s like they learned literally nothing from Rework Mercy and Release Brig. How many times can they possibly F this up so severely before they learn from their mistakes?
Doomfist was nerfed at launch then was up. Sombra was up at launch, she was given a buff and then she was nerfed without that nerf even being sent to the ptr. Ashe was balanced.
It took the devs a year to get rid of the moth, and 8 months of nerfs to brig and buffs to dps to just give up and make 2-2-2. Sigmas release made the devs nerf all shields in the game.
And this is what they thought was a priority over fixing their horrid matchmaking…
This is worse than brig 1.0
devs meetings: what should we give this hero?

“so mobility including flight, high barrier dmg and why not high dmg in general for kicks, and heck lets have her copy and spam enemy hero ults! We are geniuses!” - devs
salty ofc shes adps, but more so from fact she is so high dmg you WANT barriers, but she is designed to destroy barriers…casue genius idea right?

If you kill Echo while ulting she should remain dead.
It wouldn’t be that difficult to balance.
Give it a moderately high ulti cost to offset it’s versatility and then when you use echo’s ulti, you can get just one free ultimate and have normal ulti charge generation. No more ulti spams. But echo could still benefit from having second lfie ultimate, maybe.
Problem will however be that it might be then economically faster to farm echo’s ulti and then duplicate Lucio and get beat drop for cheaper.
But that problem is very minor compared to it’s current problems.
