My experience with Duplicate is about 50% of the time I'm insta-killed, and I probably only build an ult with it about 1 in every 5 copies (especially after the ult built nerf). I try and use it as a fight engagement tool via copying the tank but in my experience this leads to a quick death. I find I'm able to extract more value from it by copying DPS heroes to tilt a 1v1 heavily in my favor.
As a bonus, my scrim team has started receiving VOD reviews from Natter, and the number one thing he harped on for my Echo play specifically is flight/high-ground usage.
Essentially, the school of thought is to always use Flight with a strong purpose - using the momentum to finish off targets, taking a better high ground, as a temporary off-angle - and not using Flight outside of that. The idea is to maximize time on high ground while still having Flight available to escape/engage/peel - and also Flight time is heavily correlated with the amount of damage Echo takes, so less flight means less damage taken. This is a very hard lesson for me to incorporate, being a Pharah main who instinctively takes to the skies at the slightest chance!

I've been a massive fan of the Ace Combat series since childhood (Ace Combat 5 was my favorite game for many years) and when I first played Project Wingman last year it blew me away and has become my favorite game in the genre.
The moment when everything turns orange is one of my favorite gaming moments of the last decade, and as someone that took a few years to get around to it, I cannot recommend Project Wingman enough for fans of the genre.

- Nerd³ - ADHD hypercomedic YouTuber from the ancient times turned old and still ADHD. Like the Lets Plays of olden times with a style refined over years of constant reinvention. I've been following since 2011, so I'm perhaps biased ranking him so highly. Modern Recommendation | Classic Recommendation
- Many A True Nerd - A love for detail and care mixed with -1 Perception. Does long-form edited series on games he knows very well, and sometimes mixes in his knowledge as a trained Classicist to produce some truly wonderful mixes of gameplay and pedantic rants. Has a lot of Fallout/Bethesda content if that's your cup of tea. Modern Recommendation | Classic Recommendation | Pedantic Historical Rant Recommendation
- Boken1 - Paradox multiplayer games with extremely colorful personalities and "wholesome" toxic banter. Amazing for the "playing war games with your mates" immersive vibes. Discovered last year and have since watched over 200 episodes. Modern Recommendation | Classic Recommendation
- FailRace - Racing/GTA with a small and wholesome community of people. Has a lot of filler GTA/Forza content, but the highlights are the monthly Survive The Hunts, a custom GTA gamemode with a pack of people hunting a stealthy driver through the entire GTA 5 city, with no map or other identifying marks to guide them (except an exploding Prius, of course) Survive the Hunt Recommendation | Accompanying Hunter Chat
- SummoningSalt - Speedrun history of games explained, while at the same time invoking a nostalgic, liminal-space like vibe for games that I have never played. Absolutely recommended for anyone with the slightest interest in the concept of speedrunning. If you like following a single player's amazing story | or if you want to know just how wonderful and competitive weird games can be | or perhaps an excellent underdog story
- Whitelight - In-depth breakdowns, critiques, and reviews that manage to always hold my attention with an excellently tight script (and honestly, an excellent voice too.) Recommendation
Absolute banger, its amazing live because they used to bring their instruments into the crowd to play (I think that honor is reserved for Brandenburg Gate these days).
The one that came first to mind when I saw the title is Stars and Stripes by Anti-Flag. Another honorary mention that came to mind after I read the top comment of this thread is We Called It America by NOFX.
Edit:
American Jesus - Bad Religion is also an amazing choice, from a comment down below.
