The banshee on Echos needs to go or be replaces with a wasp. I’ve seen several games where someone either on my team or the enemy team gets the banshee at the beginning of the game and has it the entire game usually getting an unfrig in the process. I know there are rocket hogs and a laser on the map but with all the cover it seems near impossible to shoot it down. Just my 2cents.
There are also 2 plasma pistols and 1 hydra in each base area. If someone is getting an unfrig on that map, then the other team isn’t grabbing the counters or using them effectively.

Usually because the Banshee pilot is watching those spots constantly and the moment you try for it you eat a Fuel Rod.
I’m not saying its 100% impossible to shoot the banshee down, but I’m a crap banshee pilot and I can easily get 20 or so kills without any trouble at all. I just think its a little too OP on that particular map, it has way more vertical cover than any other btb map.
I don’t think a Wasp on Echoes would be a bad idea, but keep in mind both teams are given two Plasma Pistols (one spawns literally on top of either base), a Hydra Launcher, a Rocket Hog and Sniper Rifle to take it down. If this isn’t enough there is a Spartan Laser on the map as well. Also keep in mind that these weapons are spread out over the map in such a way that it’s impossible for the banshee to actually watch all these locations at once. In my extensive experience: It is pretty hard to keep the banshee alive on Echoes unless the enemy team just has no awareness and isn’t going for weapons. I think that may be the case with the frustrating games you describe.
I think removing some of the counters to air then replacing the Banshee with a Wasp would be a good fix. A Wasp would be able to pin more than kill, so it won’t be as vital as before.
this is the same in any btb with banshee when the other team has a lot of noob players, the solution is try to take down the banshee alone, I must do that a lot of times, because my teamates only gets killed by the banshee and they not even try to kill the banshee, then u can se that like a challenge or play with good teamates

The thread should now be closed.
Thanks for coming. You have all the advise you need now OP.
Good luck…
oh and btw,
git gud.
I actually think a Wasp would be worse than a Banshee. There is a lot of cover on that map for an aerial vehicle which a Wasp would thrive in since it can hover behind and peek out unlike a Banshee.
