Echo Balance Changes

Echo is efficient at prioritizing a specific target with her abilities and at approaching that target quickly with her flight, so both come down a little.

Balance Philosophy

For each hero in S and A tier, slightly nerf each part of the kit. The author notes these are not all meant to be implemented, and invites feedback on which should take priority.

Proposed Changes

Each entry lists the move or ability affected, the adjustment itself, and — where the analysis states one — the problem it is meant to solve and the reasoning behind it.

  1. Sticky Bombs

    Nerf
    Proposed adjustment
    Total damage per volley reduced from 180 to 170.
  2. Flight

    Speed reduced from 28 to 25 m/s.
  3. Focusing Beam

    Nerf
    Proposed adjustment
    Damage to enemies below half health reduced from 175 to 165 dps.
