I am really, really disappointed with Eskay’s creativity vacuum when it comes to Lucio vs all the other supports.
Ana gets an apocalyptic buff with Exo boots, Bap gets airborne speedboost and even more mobility, Brigitte gets a speed boost, Moira gets CRITS for an easymode beam and Lucio gets a vanilla damage boost and a very situational ult change.
Even without thinking too hard… a simple “Lucio’s reload time is halved while wall riding” would have been fun, played into the playstyle.
Lucio gets an extra round of ammo per clip, something nearly every Lucio main has begged for…
Lucio can now use opponents’ bodies and shields as jumpable and wallriding objects.
I get that she was doing all supports, but it feels like she did my boy wrong to avoid the appearance of bias.
The one change I do really like is Mercy’s temporary resurrection, which would actually be a tremendous thing in the actual game, which is… resurrection allows play during the respawn timer delay period, but when respawn is ready, they go back. This would allow resurrection to be used much more often being a clutch skill that only provides a temporary clutch play, rather than undoing death entirely.
I mean, even the concept of a 10 second duration mass res could be a spectacular ult component for Mercy way better than the original incarnation. The fact that Blizzard is stupidly binary (res must be permanent at full health 100% of the time) has really limited the implementation.
