the ult needs a massive nerf. Literally an extra life that allows you to use like 5 ults also. If she dies during ult she needs to actually die and not just turn back to echo. Also the secondary just deals too much damage. Also why is it in comp already??? the hero is nowhere near balanced, only testing has been ptr and you put her in comp already? nice job Blizzard, real nice job. Fix that or im uninstalling

Agree. What happened to the old heroes? The kits of heroes coming out are more and more ridiculous as time goes by. You have Pharah, she gets flight, a boop, primary and an ult with pros and cons. But hey, have Echo instead, she flies and has more mobility than most any character in the game, she has a faster primary with a very good range, an absolutely overpowered secondary like a combination of a junk mine, a pulse bomb and torb lava, also with insane range, you get the e that’s like having a full charge zarya with you all the time, and her ult could be used by a one legged chicken with no head and have good results.
Why is this in the game? More importantly, why is this in comp? This is ridiculous and feels absolutely pointless to play to the 5 people who aren’t Echo. Might as well just put the Echo on both teams in the middle and the rest of the team sits at the side and cheers.

Yup. Like I having a blast in comp with some friends before the patch. After the patch we all got frustrated at the 30min+ queues because nobody wants to play anymore because of that unbalanced garbage. Also every game we got into some random echo just copies a sigma and gets like 3 ults out, completely solo wiping our team. Anyone who says the hero is balanced needs to wake up.

SUMMARY: movement like mercy and moira combined, Moira ult as a skill, ult overpowered beyond belief and a hit box of an ethiopean

Blizzard is a crap company they dont care, Echo going directly from ptr to competitive is ridiculous for many reasons, the the main 2 being:
1 - the stupid kids that want to play her in comp even tho they literally never saw her before or only playe dhe rin like w games
2 - she’s overpowered and unbalanced…
But in thr end Blizzardndoesn’t care abour balancing the playwr base or anything so it doens’t matterm played 3 comp games in all of them there’s a stupid echo that has nonidea what shes doing… But yeah gg great lets put unbalanced characters that no one has had time to play before straight on comp… Great gg
Tis hwro pool was obviously choosen on purpose ao echo deoesnt have direct counters -. - it’s ridixulous like this company

Im going to stop play Overwatch because the devs are not doing good choises i lost 6 games in a row cuz echo is enabled in comp and also all her counters are literally banned wich is made intentionally by the devs. This game is dead and all players are swapping to Valorant for a reason. The devs killed the game and i am a big supporter of Overwatch but this took the price. How the hell do you enable a broken hero in comp same day she releases ?

Exactly!! Yesterday was the last day i have played overwatch. I will rethink coming back whennthey nerf Echo, but im not playing a game that allows people to just play he rin comp without ever playing her before, and worst than that a charscter that is clearly Overpowered and everyone can see that except the devs apparently -. -
Do these people even have a brain? What the hell?
6 sticky bombs is tpp much, she can have the exact same impact with only 5 and not be so overpowered.
Her beam doing FOUR TIMES more when the characters are below 50% is ridiculous, again if it did double damage would already be enough quadruple is too much.
And her ult? Jesus what the hell is that? She can get 3 ults in 15 seconds, and theres no set back to dying because guess what she just comes back at full hp again and can fly away from there -. -
No thank you, no more overwatch for me. Specially while Echo is not nerfed like LITERALLY EVERYONE SEES SHE NEEDS, except this dev team that go around putting OP charavters in the game and taking way her counters on purpose.
They care more about having people play and ruin everyone trying to win than actually balancing the game and the characters…
This game is dead to me for a while at least lets see if it resurects qhen they bother to balance an obviously Overpowered character that just makes everyone els ein the game irrelevant… Shield tanks? Nope your shield is useless specially after the stupid overnerfs on the shields. Support? Lol get shot by the sticky bombs ypu are dead, dps? Better be a good hitscan or else you cant do anything about her

Its a disgrace how blizzard handled the new hero. Echo is totally unbalanced and overpowered and they release her straight to comp. The games often feel like “which team has the better echo” or “wich team has the better for echo to duplicate”.
Not a lot of fun

If hardly anyone uses PTR, obviously the hero won’t really be tested.
Also, let’s be very clear about the same thing the sane people say with every new her that comes out: it’s easier to learn how to play a hero than it is to learn how to counter a hero. That’s why every new hero generally dominates until people figure out that they’re not all that great, if you just counter them properly. Just think of Brig - she came out completely balanced, but people whined because they refused to kill her from a distance, so she got nerfed. People still whined, because she was good against weeb-heroes, so she got nerfed. People still whined when she was only ever picked at GM where noone of consequence plays, so she got nerfed even more. That’s the problem.
Echo: Well. She can fly, but more smoothly than Pharah, so it’s easier to follow her movement. Genji is much better for using the map and Pharah can make better use of actually being in the air. Just imagine Symmetra having flight - what’s the point? Her left click is annoying but at a distance, she can’t go for headshots because of the three projectiles which might not even hit body shots when far away. Also, she does about 60% of Genji’s damage. The stickie’s suck, but are very easy to counterplay once you stop whining and start paying attention. Hero gets stickied - you move away from them and heal them, problem solved. It’s predictable and not that easy to stick everything to one hero and even harder to hit different targets with it. Focussing Beam again is something that can be outplayed easily - heal the focused target so you don’t get the damage bonus and it’s 50 dps (for just 2.5sec). Zarya does double that - with 0 charge. Her ult is pretty strong, it pretty much means you want to disengage for 15s and kite it out. You know, like you would a D.Va-bomb or RIP-Tire or Molten Core or Infrasight.

imagine saying a hereo is balanced just cuz you cant play the game with skilled heroes so you need op ones…
imagine complaining that new heros are OP because you’re so fragile you think only your heros are allowed to be OP
and yes, I know you’re a genji main mr private profile
i am a genji main and he is trash. he is absolutely garbage. even his dash has a bug.saying genji and tracer are broken while maining brig is just so sad.
saying echo is broken while being a genji/tracer main is just so sad…
Echo is fine and actually on the weaker side without constant pocketing… Have you tried shooting her?
