Echo fix now makes cody useless + clone nerfs

Echo was released months ago, this bug was a feature all the way until now. Conversations I have had with devs said that at the time, people complained about how weak echo was and wanted him buffed. In response, they pointed out that their simulations (yes they do actuslly do some testing) of echo for balancing showed that he was competitive but balanced.

Now, if a character is balanced based on a bug or feature, irrelevant at this point, and then some time later that is removed with no mitigation, this has an impact on the balance equation.

Enter cody, who's assist triggers the entire team, prompting echo to assist at a % chance on each of them, these additional assists will trigger cooldown reduction on cody's if they crit. Note that the additional assists are not guaranteed at 60% chance and neither are they guaranteed to crit. Practically, full clone teams reduce the cooldown on codys assist to an average of 3-4 turns.

Now, it is also certain that cody balancing would have had echos feature/bug present during balance testing from CG. Look at the gif from codys official strategy post, u can see multiple assists happening out of turn.

Note that these were also from supermods during dev testing.

To drive the point home, fixes/nerfs are happening without consideration of the balance equation. We are purchasing something that is no longer balanced and we should demand that this is addressed.

It's insane, Josh. Who asked for an Echo nerf, seriously?

And they fixed a bug with Vader's basic, which hits like a feather duster. But Teebo remains broken.

I have every clone at max gear, including every piece of raid gear, Cody included. And that team is still not as effective as the standard Rey/RG composition.

Once again, a change that nobody wanted or needed. It's their game, they have their own set of priorities and they will continue to operate in the vacuum of their studio.
