My fellow speedy boys. Be honest. What do you want for our favourite frog? Would love to hear each of your inputs.
Using amp it up while in range of an enemy or teammate makes them deaf for 5 seconds
This and making beat have an AoE knockback effect
I want more song variations like the jazzy skin has
The only song variation I want is for techno-Mexican music to play whenever you get hacked by Sombra.
Ew please no
If the 2nd time he gets new music is that?! I will be very upset lol
If that was added AND a new skin with a new song I’d be content
Only one thing tbh.
- Sound barrier temporary shields decay rate reduced from 125 shields per second down to 100 per second.
That should keep the hero good against bursty stuff without decaying too fast encouraging consistency over burst.
I have never seen gold before and I need this sombra buff ASAP!
As for Lucio ummm
+75%speedboost
That % is amazing
-OG sombra
Mostly, I want his Ult charge cost lowered, by like 5-8%. I feel like that would be a good start. Also make his Ult decay slower, idk by how much but something significant, to put Ult back into his Ultimate. Then up his damage by 2, from 20 damage per blob to 22 damage per blob. ( maybe not, I would just like to try it. Cuz reddit.) Also give him back his pre-GOATS speed.
Sombra hack to not be in the game in its current state.
i love how this thread is supposed to be about lucio, but leave it to someone to make it about another hero…
Have you played lucio into a non potato playing sombra?
It is genuinely the reason why I don’t play more lucio.
Quit being the opinion police it’s a valid complaint. She forces me to switch to brig or moira the second I see her.
But sombra isn’t even good…
Lucio does not need buffs. Would everyone love their main to be OP? Sure, but he’s well balanced. If I could nitpick, I wish his SW knockback was a little stronger and reliable, and I personally think his ult could cost less to get -or a non-variable cast time, or both-, but he’s really a well balanced hero for the most part.
Instead, for the balance of the game, Ana needs nade nerfed, Bap needs either self-heal or HPS nerfed, Mercy needs damage boost reworked, DPS in general needs to be toned down, Sigma and Ball need something more than slap-on-the-wrist nerfs. The game is starting to feel like garbage.
-From a closed-beta GM Lucio main, most worldwide time on him-
since you wanna talk about other heroes, you do realize there are far more heroes than lucio who is a sitting duck when hack,
heroes like genji, doomfist, tracer, hammond, echo, pharah…if you are smart with lucio you can use speed boost and wall riding to your advantage while sombra is trying to hack you
Nice straw man there buddy
Lucio into Sombra used to feel like a fine and fair matchup, until they buffed Sombra in all the wrong ways to, for some reason, specifically over-counter Lucio. When Lucio was hacked he could still wallride, and his aura still worked -you just couldn’t change it. Which makes sense, because those are his passives. I’m even ok with the aura not working, because while changing the song is the ‘ability’, it ties directly into the aura. But there was no reason to make Sombra turn off Lucio’s wallride. It does not make sense gameplay-wise, as hack specifically is meant to turn off active ‘button-press’ abilities…it’s just because Sombra players complained that Lucio was hard to play against…so now Lucio feels like dog **** to play into Sombra.
Hack is such a brain-dead forgiving ability. LOS in OW is broken, it’s difficult to stop hack -even if you instantly respond, which is difficult because the cast is minute, the network often favors the ‘shooter’ here, which is Sombra…and Lucio’s gun is really garbage at interrupting it anyway.
Lucio’s beat is supposed to be a good counter to EMP. Everyone loses abilities and shields, so Lucio can come in with beat as a defensive ult to help save the day! Except he can’t, because of EMP’s sightline check and Lucio’s odd-shaped hit-box make it a nearly impossible interaction half the time. Lucio has to be close enough to use his ult and have it hit his whole team early enough to save them from the usually instant on-coming damage, but far enough -or hidden enough- to not get hit by EMP…it’s the exact thing Mercy was reworked to avoid. It’s dumb.
And that’s not even considering how EMP and even just hack, the almost no-risk, unpunishable ability just deletes the slowest charging, long-cast time ult in the game for no reason. If Sombra couldn’t delete Lucio’s ult like that, just interrupt it, I think it would be a different discussion. There is just no reason why she has to hard counter Lucio as much as she does, considering he isn’t a ‘big threat’ hero like say a DF is. IMO no hero is as hard countered by any other individual hero through their core kit as Lucio is to Sombra.
hack disables abilities/passive abilities, lucio’s wallride IS a part of his passives
’ * Hacked enemies cannot activate their [abilities]. For [passive abilities], Hack only disables the ones that require a button to press. For transformations, Hack cancels transformations from normal abilities, but not from ultimate abilities. Hack also turns off [Lúcio]'s song and disables [Sigma]‘s barrier. Hack does not affect [weapons].’
From the wiki. The argument I suppose could be ‘Lucio’s wallride is tied to jump’, but I think that’s garbage. They can’t figure out how to balance Sombra, so they made hack ‘stronger’, which makes her feel like dookie to play into, which is wrong. RH was changed with the exact intention being ‘He is not fun to play against’, even when he wasn’t good, because it felt like trash being hooked around corners and stuff, and then OHK’d. Sombra’s hack and EMP feels the same way, but that is her whole kit.
Sombra-mains should be the ones angry about this though; Sombra will never get a favorable buff as long as her kit exists like this, because she is outright not fun to play against. She’s in a lose-lose scenario; as she is right now she’s a really off-meta pick that still makes the team playing with and against her angry because she feels garbo to play into/with, if she gets buffed because she’s not a great pick, everyone will complain even more and it will bring the issue into focus and she’ll inevitably get over-nerfed. It’s a similar issue with DF.
just because a hero is unfun to play against, does not mean that the hero is op just like MANY on forums claim she is. just like how a lot of people claim DF is unfun to play against, but he is not really op just like MANY people wanna claim that his is, same with moira, ana, mei, orisa, brig, the list goes on.
just because something is unfun to play against does not mean they are op or broken
