Overwatch Fan Suggests Interesting Visual Change For Echo's Duplicate Ultimate

The Overwatch community is always suggesting ways that the game can be improved, which range from ideas for story developments to potential legend reworks. The latest suggestion technically falls into the latter category, though not in the traditional sense of balancing an Overwatch legend or changing their abilities.


The suggestion focuses on the Overwatch legend Echo, and more specifically, her Ultimate ability. Called Duplicate, the skill allows the Damage legend to become one of the characters on the foe team. During this short duration, Echo will actually want to use her selected foe's abilities and their Ultimate, with the energize speed for the duplicated Ultimate being incredibly fast. Reverberation will also imitate the appearance of her chosen target, only with a completely blue visual design.


For Reddit user and Overwatch player 11601, this blue tone could be outdone to make Echo's Ultimate flashier. According to the fan, instead of Echo becoming a blue version of the legend she copies, she could expand and adapt her robot form to match the design of the chosen foe. This way, players would still have the option to peruse the character that Echo duplicated, but she would also maintain parts of her default look. 11601 then included several interesting examples of concepts from artist Dana Pull, similar to an Echo-Roadhog mixture with Echo's insignia on its stomach that can be seen here.


Alongside the interesting Roadhog concept, five other designs were included. The first was for Winston, which is instantly unmistakable since he as of now uses some white shield. Reverberation also ends up on each of the fours like the genetically engineered primate. Doomfist is next, and alongside a bigger frame and adjusted posture, Echo has a massive arm that is plainly meant to resemble the Talon chief's gauntlet. Widowmaker is the third design, with the assassin's signature long hair captured by a blue light shaft.

Similar light beams are used for Junkrat and Orisa, the final two designs from Dana Pull that the Redditor chose to showcase. In the case of Orisa, she gets some blue horns, while Junkrat's stake leg is cunningly supplanted with the blue texture. Each of the designs are excellent, and the thought is interesting, so it is no surprise that the post managed to bring in throughout 15,000 upvotes in the time since it was posted. While it is improbable that Blizzard could at any point put in this effort to make Echo's Ultimate flashier, as creating Echo-themed models for each saint she could duplicate would take a ton of resources, it is still enjoyable to imagine seeing the designs in-game.


Considering how great the Echo-themed skins look, though, perhaps they could inspire a future batch of Overwatch cosmetics. A legend event centered around Echo could be fun, especially assuming it furnished several heroes with skins that resemble the concepts seen previously.
