Why is Lucio allowed to have such a fast re-gen rate?

How can you even count crossfade as a problematic thing to deal with? Is it so unfair that he can… switch songs? Regen of 12,5 HPS it’s literally inside the quote you used so it’s not high. It’s not even half of Zen’s orb.

High DPS? Lucio? If you get multiple dinks in a row with Lucio and are popping off, you deserve to climb ranks and if it makes you unhappy or you feel like it’s OP, try and play him. You’ll see then how easily he can survive everything.

If Lucio is winning the fights, it’s not equal skill. The Lucio is just better than the DPS.

DPS Lucio is about as efficient as DPS Moira.

They’ll win the 1v1 alright if you’re not careful.
They shouldn’t and that’s on the dead person though.

Lucio’s damage is a tad hard to land… if you’re being constantly outplayed by a Lucio as a damage character you need to get better at aiming or figure out how Lucio works.

His movement is actually very linear and insanely telegraphed when you delve deep. He must use walls for mobility. Remember that and act accordingly.

His self-heal is honestly pathetic… If you aren’t able to out-damage it I don’t know what to tell you

A 12 seconds CD that lasts for less than half of that time, which, to have an impact on his HP forces him to STAY on his healing song and that’s not what you want to do as Lúcio mid fight, because as I said, if you need to do so, you lost the fight already.

It’s really not, specially if you’re playing Widow.

You get little to no HP back when switching songs, it is used to change momentum and speed, to make you harder to hit, not to heal you.

If you manage to hit 4 headshots with slow moving projectiles, sure, but good luck with that.

You sound like if every ehaler should have none dps. There should have characters for everything. Lucio has some damage burst potential, but you need to combine his shoots, melee and boop for that. Similar to Ana s combo to slept targets.

Lucio is not a Mccree with healing and motility. His gun is very inconsistent. If all supports were just for healing, OW would be much boring

you do realise that he doesn’t even heal himself as fast as he can heal his teammates, right?

he heals himself at 12.3 HPS. that’s low as hell.

Lucio kinda counters Widow at close range. If I can utilize cover and sneak up on a Widow, I’ll probably eat her for breakfast in a 1v1. Try not to tunnel vision, and get a headshot before he can close the distance.

Doesn’t he do like 12 self heal per second without amp it up?

dying to lucio, wow, you must be a really great widow

Did you get one clipped? Please I want a video as it happens roughly never in actual games.

What if he had to land a boop on an enemy for his crossfade healing to start working?

A lot of healer have the ability to 1v1 any DpS hero.

  • Ana can easily kill a Bastion in a 1v1.
  • Zenyatta do awesome damage in 1v1.
  • Lucio is fast, can really 1v1 anyone except maybe Roadhog.
  • Moira can also 1v1 any flanker hero.

But they lack of damage, burst damage, mobility for some, sustain for others.
So they still in the healer categorie. Except for Moira in low ranks.

Also, Brigitte is not a healer but a tanks hybrid.

Not exactly the same thing as aiming though, given the size of her beam.

Lucio is an off-healer who can peel to help team members, or push toward the point.

He has no regen ability when he is using speed boost. Part of the fun of playing him is positioning, and managing the use of crossfade.

Nerfing his survivability would ruin the character. He is not supposed to be a heal-bot.

What if DPS characters needed to get two kills before they got any heals?

Silly Lucios, Stayings within the range of beams of tricksy Moirases.

That’s what lot of players seem to want though. A fragfest that’s all about the kills and 1337 Pew Pews, with lots of squishy support characters that serve as easy targets. Resulting in a secondary requirement of some mystical player base with low self esteem that will just play as mindless subservient heal-bots.

Knowing how to pick fights is not aiming tho /s
