I think it is time to admit the obvious - Echo is an insult to the average gamer.

I agree. Whenever I join titan hm to pass the time and people fail, they see this buff and think hurrah! leet buffs! Then when they finally win with 30-50% echo they are like:" We did it guys!". (While still dead on the floor mind you.)

I thought I was the only one that actually saw the echo notification as an insult telling you you suck and need the game to help you.

To me it isn't so much of an insult if you know you're doing well, and I'm fairly confident in my own abilities. For some groups it's literally their only chance at a win...especially when it comes to Titan HM. It's far from a guaranteed win though when it does kick in.
