Overwatch Game Director Jeff Kaplan discusses Echo, the latest hero that’s flying into Overwatch, providing insight into her back story and abilities.
If Reihardt doesnt scream “WHOS THAT HANDSOME GUY” when Echo transforms into him, I’m gonna delete the game
Joining
YES
If not world war 3 starts.
Germany vs Blizzard.
Alex Hutton a true redditor never leaves.
Every new character are op when they get released. Then big nerfs :/ easy
Everytime this happens, so far only 2 heroes has released that truly broke the games balance, Ana and Brig!
Hanzo: “Only a Shimadi can control the dragons..”
Echo: “haha, no.”
@Neurotic Geek wait hold on, that’s a big brain moment right there.
Neurotic Geek – Confirmed. Baby Dva incoming.
Stylosa 1st test was Dva
Thats funny
@Lucillevonamino XD
Reper: Sombra? What are you laughing at now- . . . Oh . . . My . . . God . . .
Sombra: *dies of laughter*
Reper: *dies of laughter*
Widowmaker: *gives blank stair*
Doomfist: *laughs likes he’s Drax*
@CHARLZ4445 Sigma broke it too
@Fern Cano Nope, not even close to the way Ana and Brig broke the game, im sorry, but the chances of an Ana and Brig break wont happen again!
As all hero’s do
Dps with ult to turn into ant other hero therefore she is everything
I really wish she was a suppourt since if she was a source for a new life for robots AT LEAST MAKE HER HEAL THE GOOD ONES also they skiped healers and dps has the most heros we get it your overratted
Also if you aim as a god you will be op as echo since sticky bomb kills 200 hp players also she will probably be nerfed to the ground but at least make her ult chargeing slower since its really good. Over all she seems as an good ofensive hero
@Tpurr DPS really is kinda overdone in this game isn’t it :/
Could use more tanks now that you mention it. Just not sigma… He still weirds me out
@Brawlio true
Jeff: We don’t want Goats to comeback.
Jeff: We want Goats to comeback a little bit.
Is Goats ok for Overwatch?
Overwatch can have a little Goats.
BA A A A A A A A A
He is a goat. maybe : )
We call it “Diet Goats”. Just like Diet Coke, it’s okay, but not okay at the same time.
Is she doesn’t scream “HELLO WINSTON!” every game she meets Winston, imma riot.
Joe Mama wait if you thiiiiink about it, Athena is basically echo, but a robotic moveable version. Cuz if you think about it Athena helps Winston out and so does echo (I think) so it would make sense for her to be Athena
@Aka Koda Athena is basiclly a Siri or Alexa but for Overwatch, Echo is a robot (created by the same person; Dr. Mina Liao) Echo’s puprose is different, she helps in the field with multiple roles because she learns things insantly she can do so much, she can pilot a plane, be a healer, tank, damage etc.
Lol don’t
Echo : Disguising as Tracer
Athena : Intruder Alert! An Echo in the Base!
Pharah : An Echo in the Base??!!!
@Hyper Volt AHHHHHHhhheyy it’s still here
@Camo King360 Reins teams Echo: Gentelmen.
@Rob G bruh gaben can’t count to 3
Woooooow
RED SPY IN THE BASE
We’ve all this seen this with ana when she wants to you know boost on her team she wants to boost say Reinhardt and lucio comes in front of them and them we get a BOOSTIO running around
Overwatch: Introduces Rolequeues
Waitung time for a dps is mostly 5 minutes and up
Overwatch: Introduces dps
Ffs
Pffttt 5 minutes would be a miracle. 10+ is much more accurate
Such a wasted potential that is Overwatch
D.va Nuke Hitting Enemy Team:NOW THATS ALOTTA DAMAGE!
Echo Using ULT:HOW BOUT A LITTLE MORE?
Jeff: Tanks are often difficult to finish off, because they get healed.
Tanks: *NANI??!!*
Rob G same lmao, then we just get wiped out
Whenever I heal the tank the enemy dps outdamage my heals
1. devs are out of touch
2. they hate tanks
Rule34: *allow us to introduce ourselves*
wtf its a robot
@why rule 34 can do anything
@why you’re lacking imagination
why you lack imagine, Gyro Zeppeli.
This is way too soon
mcree: they want me, but really they need you
echo: how about both?
Abathur in Heroes of the Storm: I am the ultimate adapter.
Echo: I’m about to end this man’s whole career.
She’ll never be added to HotS, though. If the pace of their new content is any indicator, we’ll be lucky to get another OW hero in HotS at all.
I wish HotS got more love.
Really sucks to see updates slowing down to a crawl because Blizzard pulled resources from them.
That game is dead. They ruined it by having “Sympathy/underdog bonus”. That was the worst thing they could do to a moba game. Imagine playing Football and you scored 4 touchdowns and the enemy team scores 1 and wins the game because it was late game it happened… yeah…
hots is dead man. they need to implement an item system. i wonder why there isnt one like it was created by wc3…. that why lol is far better due complexity
@Kijura – no, hots is perfect as the way it is. items only make the game broken, just like lol. one characters gets a kill or two and destroys the entire enemy team. lol is definitely the most unbalanced game i’ve ever played. besides i think with talent system you actually have way more options to try different things. its not dead either, i find games pretty easily.
Blizzard: Hmm, people hate playing Tank and Support, and there are more damage heroes than tank and support combined. DPS queue times are also obnoxious.
Also Bilzzard: How about a new DMG hero?
@Luke Deakin Lucio was in at the time of release
@Kian Scott okay, wasn’t sure
@Kian Scott so why don’t they split off some of the low end DPS and make them off tanks or supports?
Remember when McCree said “They think they need me, but they really need you”?
What we didn’t see is the addendum: “because you can be me, as well as anyone else”
@Random Commenter Well she is a support, I mean can be so that is not wrong either.
Nonhuman I get it
Hanzo: only shimada can control the dragons.
Echo: Is that really true?
Hanzo will be hitting that bottle of sake again
Overwatch team: we’re gonna focus on tanks and supports from here on out
Also the overwatch team: here is a new DPS!!!!
Like I love echo and her physical design but I cant help but wish they had her as a support or tank :////
Well, she is at first a support hero, but because of her ult nature, you will lose a support at that time, which mean there will be no heal for that period of time.
Basically, blame her ult XD
“Echo is a damage character”
Oh, another hero I won’t be able to play without suffering long queue times.
@Pick Collins I think you’re forgetting the days before role-Q, when you had 4-5 dps & no healers lol.
@Pick Collins I do.
You guys still have OG quickplay in arcade mode, right? Not much of a problem there
