Another change is coming to Overwatch along with new hero Echo, and it'll allow you to 'confirm ultimates', a change that will let harried Ana players all around the world breathe a sigh of relief.
Starting today in the Overwatch PTR, you can choose to confirm your ultimate target before you activate your ability - thus saving your team from the heartbreak of a misplaced Nano-dart. Or, since Echo's ultimate ability lets her temporarily duplicate a member of the enemy team with juiced-up ultimate generation, the heartbreak of becoming a jolly Lucio when you wanted to start Earthshattering fools as a fearsome Reinhardt.
The new safeguard arrives as a user interface option under the Heroes menu. It's disabled by default, but turn it on and you'll get an extra step in the ultimate process for both Ana and Echo: put your reticle over your target, hit your ultimate button, then the game will show you a portrait of the hero you've picked and ask you to confirm or cancel.
"It gives you that chance to go, oh wait! That's Lucio. I don't want to be him. OK, Reinhardt, that's who I want to be," Kaplan adds.
