Here’s an idea: stop suggesting changes to heroes you have no idea how to play

I agree with silent sword that its not really the character that’s the issue but the players. It does seem like almost every single lucio player plays that way though. I hate seeing a lucio on my team bc it means we’ve only got one support 99% of the time lmao.
They could maybe rebalance him to where he’s got weaker self healing or self speed while there aren’t any allies in his aura or something? to encourage them to stay with their teammates. But idk reddit lucios would probably still go for their clips anyway and just feed harder
Most people can’t even recognize a good Lucio when they see one. They can have funnyastro on their team and they’d flame him for not healing enough

I think that’s a generalization, but ok.
Just means you might have to kill the flankers that your support pings. Because if you don’t, you might be without.
So in a way, ecery dps lucio is just trying to teach their dps teammates to peel for their supports XD

why would a Lucio player want to switch to heal when there are “no players around”?
this is imo a very bad take, and thats even considering the inadvisability of taking control of character x out of player A’s hands

ok just have his mobility disabled when there are no players around then so he doesn’t go flanking.
I dont see the game taking control of a character away from the player is a good thing
There are times and reasons when moving more quickly is more important than healing someone, and that choice to do one or the other must ergo remain with the player
Example: I am heading full speed to the control point and if I drop my speed the other team will capture the cp. Suddenly, an injured team member pulls into my path. My speed goes away, healing comes on, and the other team captures the point.
this is an L
All players should have the freedom of choice on how to use their powers. The game should not play the game, the player should play the game

It is necessary evil for fixing flawed design.
actually, no, it isnt necessary at all
and having a player fully control their own character isnt a flaw

Depends.
If your team is all dive and Lucio provided speed while the other support healed, then, yes. 770 heals are fine (provided lucio is doing enough damage/kills). You can’t expect any supp to come and heal you if you are a dive hero. You need to come to your supp.
If your team is either poke or brawl. Then, your lucio failed miserably.
Lucio supports the ever living hell out of a Ram or Junkerqueen that is popping off.

I think people tend to discredit what a good Lucio is actually doing for the team matchup.
You complain about how little healing he’s doing, but how much healing needed is he preventing by keeping 3 out of the 5 opposing team members occupied and focused on him, essentially making the match a 4v2 in the favor of the Lucio team.
I do see the reason for complaint, if you’ve got a Lucio who isn’t keeping those enemies occupied, or dies trying over and over. As was stated previously though, this comes down to player skill, luck, etc.
It also comes down to the map being played too. Some maps are better suited for wall riding, others not so much.
Ultimately though, it all comes down to the Lucio player’s skill level that matters most. Even the best ‘Frogger’s’ out there have bad days.

ignore troll. Most lucios cant do a 
.
But he is fine as support.
What even is this? He’s not Symmetra, he actually heals.
That’s a reddit Lucio problem, not the character’s.
Yes, it is.

Sorry you had some bad luci-ohs but not all of us are like that, i prefer the peel and boop style of team play trying to keep an average of 5k/7k+ for my stats.
He literally gives the entire team within his radius a 25% speed boost and over 1000 shield for a few seconds after an ultimate.
On what planet is that not beneficial for the team?
In fact, I’d argue to say he has the most team-based utility outside of Ana and Zenyatta.
Those are just bad Lucio’s.
