Overwatch 2 players are pleading with the developers to add a highlight intro steal by Echo, specifically referencing her Duplicate ability. The community is eagerly requesting this addition, as they envision a standard highlight intro with any hero that suddenly turns blue, revealing Echo duplicating the hero.
Echo’s Duplicate ability allows her to transform into a copy of the targeted enemy hero for a duration of 15 seconds, granting her the same abilities as the hero she duplicates. Players propose that if Echo performs a noteworthy action while duplicated, instead of showcasing Echo in the intro, the game should display the hero she copied and then seamlessly transition them into Echo.
While Echo remains a popular choice for this feature, some players suggest enhancing an existing intro, such as Ana’s sleep intro, by incorporating it after someone else’s action.
Highlight intros hold significant value as customization options in Overwatch 2. These brief animations are presented to introduce a Play of the Game after a match or highlight notable actions in a player’s profile.
Steals are particularly special, as they cannot be unlocked in the Hero Gallery; they occur when a hero steals the Play of the Game from another. Currently, there is only one steal in Overwatch 2, featuring Sombra hacking a hero using an Ultimate that could have potentially altered the outcome of the game.
It remains uncertain whether additional steals will be added to the game in the future, as no new ones have been introduced in recent years.
