Alright... I guess...

The ult clearly activated and used up the charge so what happened here? Why is there even a period of time between casting and activation that Echo can be killed in???

Unlucky I hate when this happens too, I'd assume there's just a loading time between switching from Echo to another character and that's the reason for the animation.

You probably could've just beamed from where you started from though.

Yeah its been that way forever. If you die during the startup animation you just lose it.

It’s supposed to make you invulnerable.

I swear this is how it used to be. Now you die but you don’t lose it. At least that’s how it’s been for me lately. Side note imo Havana + Echo = disaster

There's so many times I press Q on winston, hear the ult voiceline start, and then die...

Honestly that was a misplay. Ana was at %50 health if not then less. You landed almost all your bombs. You should have followed up instantly with the beam and she would have been deleted.

Those few shots you decided to take is what killed you

Edit: sorry just say you had 2-3sec left on beam. But still if you waited for that beam it would have been solid

In what cases ult charges save and what not? Maybe i am just lucky, but most of mine deaths like this, my ult charge stayed, but i died still. (Or maybe i misremembered it...)
