I do not post or even comment alot, you might even consider me a lurker. I believe I posted once before, but anyway I am proud to say that I am out here representing the clan. This game JUST happened 10 min ago of typing this. I am a level 97 Echo and am looking for the advice of other Echoes. For beginner Echoes I tried my best to display what a TRUE Echo player looks like.

The replay codes is available. Thank you if you watched. 🫡

As Echo main that didn’t feel good

I was thinking of a perk idea to better help echo's neutral fight without her ult since partial scan covers that. Having a short burst of mobility (in flight or while hovering) on a similar cooldown as flight to sync her cooldowns seems like a good idea. Like a single but slower tracer dash midair or an air dash in deadlock.

It gives her a mobility option mid flight which alleviates some of the problems that focused rush tries to address. It also a nice compensation buff considering the hitbox size increase she got in season 5 without just increasing her raw stats like giving her more hp or shields. And it doesn't play into her ult like partial scan does which a design philosophy the dev team seems to apply to all the heroes with an alternate ultimate perk.

Cons are I don't know a good binding to place this ability on. It may also be harder on people that don't have flight on toggle. Maybe double jump (space bar) or some other button. Just thought I'd present something to replace aerial munitions since it doesn't seem to help echo meaningfully, while alleviating how fragile echo can feel at times.

hello :D like title suggests (and i want a new friend)

every time i meet an echo in a ranked game they end up always switching but i love playing echo and theyre my favorite hero to pocket, i play mercy/brig/juno/kiri/ana (or anything that isnt bap)

i peaked gm5 support, havent played ranked since season 8 so placements put me diamond, looking to play pretty often this season + next because i want mythic prisms and to climb again

also preferably positive vibes i don’t enjoy raging, typing, losing mental, flame, etc. at all

My supports the real mvp

a character with suzu and TP definitely needs an HP buff before a hero bigger than optimus prime

So I'm a juno main to heart but i love playing echo when i do dip into the Damage role.
With all the changes to this patch im feeling like im dying way more and stuck having to do games without gliding and using it like i do with Juno for just positioning.

Any tips and advice or should i bench Echo this season.
I look back on VOD and im getting leg clipped around corners or cover. Some shots i look at and im fuundermentally trying to figure out how the shot even hit.

Any tips or feedback would be nice as i like playing this Hero and i shouldnt have to bench it because blizzard want to "collect data"Type Echo

Another master piece added to my beloveds' collection! A little festive mime.

Also don't mind the lazy made wings in the last picture, it's mainly to give the full finished view...

Best echo dupe I've ever had so far

Adaptive circuits engaged... you are now public enemy #1 to the person that you duplicated lmao 🤣

I don't copy someone just to style on them. I do it for functionality or a last ditch at survivability. Only if my team is completely stomping will I do something like copy my own team's Mercy and just damage boost her for example. All of that said, I do enjoy duplicating a friendly or enemy Ram more than anything else just for Echo to say, "Suffer! As I have!" and that is more than warranted as she has suffered and she speaks for all of us lol 😆

I’d say I’m a pretty good echo being level 162 with over 300+ hours and peaked at champ 5. But I don’t see the reason for shade for partial copy and full salvo even after the nerfs.

My play style in high ranks consist of long poke and sneaky assassin diving the backline. But when I get my ult, I’m a big playmaker and I’d say confidently about 70% of my copies end with a built ult that actually has impact on the current fight.

I like full salvo because when I’m poking I get more opportunities to land on enemies and when I dive backline, I’m most of the time undetected so I’m able to land all stickies and secure a kill while building ult charge super fast.

Yes the infinite ammo is a joke but I’ve seen people in here have strong opinions that partial copy being pointless as when you eventually build ult, the fight is over.

Also I don’t think I’ve been in more situations where I’ve needed such a long distance kill with beam compared to absolutely shredding squishes and melting tanks health with all my stickies off a 6 second cooldown.

So please I’m open to opinions from other mains as one of the main reasons I play echo is for her flexibility through her ult and how game changing it can be like getting a double queen ult or hog ult to force a C9 or hell even build a quick enough nano just to keep tanks alive.

I've always noticed that, not sure if it's on every map but it only happens with Echo. Has anyone ever figured it out?

Literally unplayable!

Luckily I have extra time right now to watch the live streams I hate how long it takes to get the esports boxes

Sorry if this was mentioned before, but the S5 BP can be hacked for Echos Automation skin, just so you know.
I was pleasantly surprised, as this skin was a long time wish of mine.

Because of the hitbox size increase, I've ditched playing her this season in favor of Genji and Freja, and it hurts as she's my most played hero in the game.

Too early to tell, but maybe the hitbox size increase isn't too bad, or am I properly dramatic about it?

What about, nerfing the stickies damage abit and decrease the cooldown? You do slightly less damage but you have it faster. It does so much damage most of the time I don't even need my laser to kill an enemy, it should be a tool to bring someone down just enough for the laser to be used as a finisher. Maybe im wrong.

but not for me

Like Holy Shit Echo is So fun and I can just do this Shit with it

The halo things on their heads, the body shapes, I mean come on it's just so perfect

This is something I've noticed since forever, but it became even more visible ever since they added the top 3 most played heroes on the pregame screen. A good amount of Echo players I run into also have Ashe in their top 3, and that includes myself. I've been two-tricking them for years. In my case, I picked up Ashe when she released, so Echo came after. I'm just wondering, is it just confirmation bias on my end, or is it a thing? Having a hitscan as a side pick to Echo is good practice, but I'm not spotting Cass, Widow or Soldier paired with her nearly that often.

Need help mapping Echo’s buttons because I find it awkward to aim while flying.

My current PlayStation layout is

R3: jump/ascend
L3: crouch/ascend
L1: fly
L2: sticky bombs
R1: focus beam
R2: shoot

Holding R3 or X to ascend makes it very awkward to aim mid flight, so any suggestions would be appreciated!
