Have you heard, a single person complain about her ammo count? Like anyone at all.

Or, has the problem been her spammy as hell bombs? jeez guys come on get it together…

I think because they just wanted to give her small nerfs because she isn’t too much of a problem right now (Overtuned but not really OP). I think the nerfs are fine.

Exactly what I thought :woman_shrugging:

The beam duration nerf will be good in all ways as it is less forgiving while also reducing its effect on Tanks, but these nerfs ultimately do nothing for her insane burst Dps potential.

She’s not too much of a problem, but the point is wouldn’t you think they would nerf the things that are a problem rather than the things that aren’t?

I guess if you nerf things that are a problem (good things about her kit) then the nerfs will be more significant than necessary.

I mean I guess… just disappointed. Her spammy bombs were literally the only problem most of us had with the character and they ignored them. So now not only is she still gonna be annoying, but everyone is still gonna complain about her.

It’s something, at least.

But that’s not good… Echo is a hero who is just barely over the bar. She’s so close to perfect balance. We don’t want “at least its something” because then that means her main problem has not been addressed, and that on top of these nerfs she’s gonna get more later bc people will still be complaining about her.

You already know how blizzard is… they listen to us, they do in fact nerf the hero… buuuut they nerf the wrong part about it, give them a couple weeks and they will get it right

Do these things still deal 5 damage when they land?

Doomfist and Genji both have something to say about this one.

the problem wasn’t her primary or the bombs, it’s the death beam + all these abilities being attached to the most mobile character in the game

Yes. Their explosion damage was reduced to not make them a one shot, but they still do 180 damage overall, and she can fire them every 6 seconds.

Whenever they touch him (basically on early 2072) they will probably not buff what they need.
