Im going to hate having a lucio after this patch

Since the balance patch increases lucio wall ride speed, this will encoring even more reddit lucios. Now almost every lucio is never gonna heal(which most never did) even more are gonna kamikaze thinking they’re genji and die instantly. And this gonna make console even more hell due to him being harder to hit. Please blizz rethink this

I don’t know but I am having great success with going against Lucio as Ashe, Dynamite really works good against him and he’s very emotional when he’s burning.

His wallride speed only got buffed in heal song so you have a decent chance of being healed by them.

Really?
If so it should be nicer to have lucios around if doing normal 2-2-2, 1-3-2 and so on type of ladder comps since so many times I see selfish lucios speedboosting instead of healing in order to increase the odds of getting a boop of.

Really? Sounds like its just in general.

Not to start a dump on Lucio thread, but I have been doing a lot more Zarya lately and am astounded at least in QP how healers can’t/won’t/don’t prioritize healing the tank pushing payload or holding the point… I mean literally, I have had healers next to me or in front of me at times… I kid you not. What the heck is up with that? Lucio has been one of the main offenders too…

i’m going to love being the lucio in the matches

Sometimes a Lucio just wants to get that instakill and it affects the enemy team’s behavior in making them paranoid

Ah okay, gotcha. Thanks :smiley:

Gotta be honest, I like the greenish playstyle and with recent wallride buffs my primary job just shifted to environmental kill specialist.

Yeah and sometimes they just want the POTG.

POTG > winning amirite?

Especially as support so you can write “BAD DPS, ME SOLO CARRY, HAVE SOME LUCIO-O-O!”

well, i hate a lot of heroes. One more one less - no difference

Right, so it buffed his speed in both heal and speed songs. Not just heal song.

He’s very emotional when burning. HA that’s the funniest thing I read all day!

No it keeps his wallride speed in speed song the same as it was before the speed aura nerf (compensates).
His heal aura gets a buff when wallriding (nothing to compensate here to it’s a straight buff)

No dude. He says it affects you while in heal song as well. It wouldn’t be worded that way if it was only in heal song.

Yes it’s a universal change for both.
However if you’re in speed song in PTR you are not faster than if you’re in speed song in live because the aura is nerfed from 30%->20%.
