Why did sf shock do so bad

I was shocked. Like what. Anybody have any ideas why. Like what?

There’s been a general consensus that the shock is very dependent on Lucio. Lucio really enables their tank line to stay on the front line and be able to maneuver around carefully in order to get eliminations in the right places. With Lucio being banned last week, it was my observation at a good majority of the team was out of position throughout most of their team fights.

hmm. with all the star players on San Francisco I thought they would be good with hero pools. perhaps they relied too much on the Lucio and can’t adapt with out it

Instead of a hero that gives speed so others can keep up, give us a support that can ā€˜cull’ others from a distance onto their location.
Because honestly this is a problem that symmetra should be solving, but doesn’t, failed hero design.

First time i see a pro players that cant adapt surprise surprise!

This is what I’ve been saying. Lucio has always been on average the strongest hero in the game. He literally enables anything Rein-Zarya related.

For what I can gather, I reckon they just picked wrong and lost in the picking phase.

I’m curious why they didn’t go with double shield when Choy is such a monster on Sigma. Yes the nerfs hit hard but without Lucio it’s not like Rein is gonna run you over.

Their DPS play was also a bit off. Perhaps because of Smurf. They usually play around Super so well. Super’s strength as a Rein was to work with few resources and that frees up his team, I don’t think Smurf has that same quality.
