Hello gamers!
today I will showcase & review the new overwatch patch!
so first, as we all waited for!
Echo released after a good amount of time in the PTR(Public Test Realm) server,
it was really fun, she got a lot of nerfs and buffs at that time and here is echo after the testings!
Echo is an evolutionary robot created by Dr. Mina Liao and programmed with a rapidly adapting artificial intelligence, versatile enough to fill multiple battlefield combat roles. Having joined up with the Overwatch team to defend Paris against the Null Sector incursion, Echo is seeing action as a full-fledged member of Overwatch for the first time. Echo fires three shots (Tri-Shot) at once, in a triangle pattern. Echo fires a volley of Sticky Bombs that detonates after a delay. Echo uses Flight to surge forward quickly, then can fly freely to avoid danger or maneuver to a more strategic location. Using Focusing Beam, Echo channels a beam for a few seconds, dealing very high damage to targets with less than half health, including barriers. With Duplicate, Echo targets an enemy hero and clones them, gaining all of their abilities and potentially changing a team fight in an instant.

Simply, echo is an AI robot that copied "Dr. Mina Liao" which is her creator,
and she got into overwatch to defend her "troubles" she made while producing omnics for bad behaviors.
Echo has 3 abilities, "Tri-shot"[L-Click] she shots 3 bullets from her fingers, it's not a hitscan fire, so there is deliver time, it's really cool shooting through your hands LOL
"Sticky Bombs"[E] she shoot a volley of sticky bombs and after a second it explodes and can almost kill a squishy
"Ultimate"[Q] she can duplicate someone from the enemy team for an amount of time and have 350% ultimate charge, which is basically over-kill xD
Blizzard opened new server in a new datacenter for players in the middle east
The most exciting thing for me is getting back the normal comp mode, we can now go 6vs6 DPS again LOL
well, at least it means I don't kill my normal rank to play DPS like crazy ;)
there were some more bug fixes and hero updates, but it's minor, I don't want to overwhelm the post
I think this update is amazing, this is the last hero we will get until Overwatch 2 so we'll need to wait a good time before getting new hero, which is fair enough, we want a good game ;)
Echo is a great character to add into the game I think, it can change a lot in the meta, altho a new TANK would be 1000% better, but this is what we got and we need to deal with it :)
The new comp update is great cause now we have the choice to play either 6vs6 Whatever we want or a 2-2-2 Role Lock, which is nice because I know a lot of people that just hate the role lock.
