Removing the ACOG from Echo would have made more sense rather than removing it from Maestro

[MisterPepper]

That is what I feel, What do you guys think?

The pickrate of Ash didn't dropped (or only a little tiny bit). Ash weapon is super strong, many players actually played with Holo and not Acog. Removing the Acog nearly changed nothing, maybe for some low level players who think Acog is 10 times stronger.
Removing the Acog from Maestro, is it a good idea? I think they need to nerf the fire rate, mag size and recoil. The weapon is so ez to control, the weapon is still a beast with Holo. He has super strong gadget and super strong weapon, this is the problem. Echo has super strong gadget and ok weapon. It is a headshot machine, but the base damage is not the highest.

And I read somewhere that they are going to put some sort of lights to echo's drones (when the Yokai is not being controlled). Is it true?

Don't believe that's the case, the TTS notes mention this:

"With this change, Yokai now has lights that show only when NOT cloaked, and Yokai drone lights will change to reflect it is hacked."

To sum it all up, i hate playing against echo.

Ubisoft: Why not both?

Maestro lost his ACOG because he has the best gun in defense. Echo might lose his ACOG too but not because of his gun he might lose because he needs nerf.

removing acog from a 1 speed Op is a big mistake imo.

[Magoo]

no

[seidensha employee of the year]

maestro lost acog because alda is an obscenely good defense weapon

echo just has a crazy utility.

Why do you personally feel Echo should lose his ACOG over Maestro? First time I've seen an idea like this, so I'm curious to read your response!

Well, Echo has been very frustrating to play against and yes, Echo needed a Nerf. The Nerf which is recently announced , which I personally feel won't have any major difference in the ban rate of echo.
And secondly, I personally don't think Maestro deserves his nerf :'(
He is already super slow and his ACOG is actually reasonable. Maestro is perfect at this particular moment. He isn't too OP and he isn't too weak.
On the other hand, apart from giving Dokkaebi the ability to hack Echo's Yokai, if the ACOG was removed, the ban rate would have significantly dropped.

This doesn't do anything to curb his ridiculous utility (the reason for his high ban rate), it's just a nerf for the sake of nerfing him.

Also I find it hilarious that you're defending Maestro's ACOG. The Alda is leagues better than the MP5SD and was a real source of imbalance for Maestro.

better start for new players, they probably don't buy echo, caveira, clash because ban rate is funny :D renowns saved.

No, Maestro's ALDA is a pretty powerful weapon and one of the best in defense, i personally would like it more if Gridlock lost one of her ACOGS rather than Maestro, but i don't think that Echo losing his ACOG would be a good idea since he's a sneaky op, also 3 def and 1 speed, he's one of the ops that doesn't deserve this, also the MP5SD is leagues inferior to the ALDA like how the guy above me said.

I personally think if they were to remove acog they should make echo at least a two speed

[Harry Gumdropzap]

i think echo should slow down the plant instead of interrupting it, waiting until 0:00 and denying the plant doesnt take a lot of risk
by slowing down the plant it will buy defenders more time while those intense 0:00 situations and at least one teammate has to risk something in order to actually stop the plant
