šŸ¤” Why I want Jeff to talk about Off Supports (Like Sym)

Fruit, with seeding, that come from similar sources, grown from different trees that grow nearly identically, that are both used as food, that are often interchanged, with similar market prices, sold at the same placesā€¦

Yes theyā€™re quite different, but more alike than different. The irony is that the idiom is supposed to represent a false analogy, but is one itself. Itā€™s a really stupid idiom.

the Swiss Army knife that is Echoā€™s Ult is not just a ā€œsupportive Ultā€. Itā€™s so anti-Pure-support that the devs didnā€™t try to make Echo a support

Symā€™s Ult enables and protects her team, it creates space.

Echoā€™s Ult can essentially do anything depending on the situation. It can literally become a DPS Ult like dragon blade or CC Ult like blizzard or earthshatter. You can compare Echoā€™s Ult to every hero and have a point.

So based on this logicā€¦ reaper and Pharah are similar because teleport and flight? Or Sombra and Pharah? Thatā€™s a huge stretch

Thereā€™s also the fact the TP can be used for teammates and Flight is a solo thing.

Sym always has her beam and echoā€™s is temporary. Like others on this thread have already statedā€¦ they arenā€™t that similar no matter how hard you stretch your imagination.

Youā€™d find more similarities between Zarya/Sym than Sym/echo.
Zarya/Sym both have: Damage changing Beam primary weapons, shield health AND barriers.
