Never really hated Lucio, but yesterday someone just kept running in circles around the payload while the rest of his team had set up turrets and snipers further away. Madness! Everyone tried to shoot lucio, but he wouldn't be hit. So we just got picked off by the turrets and snipers.

Lol I had a game earlier where I was just running around the enemy cart, wall riding and jumping and healing for a few minutes while they tried to chase me and kept getting picked off. It was great, I love Lucio.

Remember, higher level just means someone has been playing for a longer time.

Sometimes I feel like people are actively throwing games lol

Lucio is the real OP hero imo.

Love playing him, but he can do anything really.

I only really get killed by ultimates as lucio, he's just too quick. Can't comment on symmetra but he feels slightly op compared to the other 2 healers, his E move maybe needs a longer cooldown

I'll be happy if i atleast get 50% for this game last time i played a game with trophies this insane was SO4.

 

[Repo Man]

Game changer.

Pretty much, just tested it out and zooming around feels a hell of a lot more natural now. Was on a contested point and flew to pharah who was up in the air and hovered next to her and then quickly zoomed down to someone else when they spotted me, all while keeping my heals on the same target. Felt super sexeh.

 

[Newtype-001]

Love Lucio, only use him on control maps though. I think hes always needed in that mode.

[PayOffWizard]

I need some advice guys.

Im level 27 and pretty good with about 7 character, but I'm finding it really hard to learn anybody new. Whenever i start a game with a new hero i usually end up getting my ass kicked after a few mins then switching to a character i know.

What would you guys recommend? Force myself through a game? Play with bots? get gud?

His ult is amazing for moving the payload to the final checkpoint.

Symmetra. Is. Not. A. Healer. ^_^

Play arcade maybe?

I had to stop for tonight because the randoms weren't DEFENDING THE POINT AND JUST LET THEM PUSH IT

 

[Blizzard]

Ugrh I know that feeling. I didn't get any legendary skin until I hit lvl 25. What skin did you get btw?

Night ops. I hardly ever play Soldier 76.

Spam chat with F while facing the objective icon, maybe they'll catch on some day.

I got my forth last night, level 27

Oh shit, i forgot to mention that me and another random D.Va (pub group) rushed the points on Volskaya Industries last night.
Quickest attacking win ive ever had. That short cut around the back is a killer for guys that dont know its there.

I love holding my ult as Lucio to deny DPS ult to protect my team. when I hear Hanzo shouting Rya Ga Waka FUCK YOU I DROP THE BEAT and the dragons pass through my entire team but we have such overshield that no one dies and we keep pushing.

It's an amazing feeling.

Works well against a reaper throwing his ult into the melee as well or a soldier

 

[Genryu]

No they won't, they never do. Snagging people off the car with roadhog and trying to push them all away with my ultimate and I get swarmed and notice in my death screen that everyone is protecting away from the point.

 

[psyfi]

Damn wasn't aware of this! https://www.reddit.com/r/Overwatch/...f_youre_playing_mercy_set_up_beam_toggle_and/

A monstrous QoL improvement for me, Mercy feels so much better now as its much easier to fly from player to player. Should be like this by default imo.

Are the character specific options available on console too? I tried looking for them but couldn't find them.

Thank you. I think learning PC controls would really improve my enjoyment of this thread. People mention keys and clicks like nobody's business.

For reals, I don't know what people are talking about half the time. They should just say the ability name.

I do this all the time. Honestly, Lucio feels like the best nuisance character, even over Tracer. His survivability is nuts.

 

[Jito]

Oh man, that feeling you get when you know your character change saved your team from losing but POTG goes to the guy playing Tracer all match getting a few kills.

Freeze him with Mei and protect Mei with tank. Or use Junkrats trap. Or stun him with McCree. There are quite a number of counters

Default from memory:

Mouse 1 = Action 1
Mouse 2 = Action 2
Left Shift (LShift) = Special 1
E = Special 2
Q = Ultimate

Oh man, that feeling you get when you know your character change saved your team from losing but POTG goes to the guy playing Tracer all match getting a few kills.

Changing character mid-match to keep in the game knackers my stats. Doesn't feel recognised at all.

 

[psyfi]

You know, I haven't died to a D.va ult in ages. I wouldn't mind seeing it get a shorter fuse. She could use a slight buff anyhow.

 

[Banzai]

Do tell.

 

[Zaventem]

Yeah, in the controls options under heroes you can change for individual heroes. It's the first thing i did for mercy since someone linked me this vid about hero changes. Hold to heal is god damn terrible and should never have been the default.

 

[MarioHead3]

I got one today. It mostly depends on how much the enemy team is paying attention. If they're all distracted you can just wreck everyone at once.

 

[Repo Man]

I wouldn't know as I only have the PC version but I would have thought the console version had almost the same options. On PC theres a drop down on the top right corner of the controls screen that lets you choose between "All Heroes" or specify a hero. Mercy is the only character that has 2 hero specific options and her name is highlighted with a *. You can also configure the key mappings for all characters separately should you wish to do so.

 

[peakish]

Lol I had a game earlier where I was just running around the enemy cart, wall riding and jumping and healing for a few minutes while they tried to chase me and kept getting picked off. It was great, I love Lucio.

I used to be decent at Lucio, but a few levels later I mostly get seriously outmatched by the other team's player. Couldn't keep up! Picking him a bit less now as a result.

 

[Sniffynose]

I completely agree!

It's not a threat at all anymore, people hear it and have more than enough time to hide. I am lucky to get one kill out of it lately, it takes way too long to blow up.

 

[kromeo]

She could use an alternate fire or something, her weapon is too weak considering she dies so easily as well

[buy teh haloz]

It's not really supposed to be a big killer. It mostly just forces enemies to move.

 

[UnluckyKate]

Funny enough, I deal more DMG as Dva with her side pistol as in her Mech. Her Side pistol is so fast, accurate, you can land tons of shots from afar.

While in her mech, you are big, you take tons of agro, you can avoid much the shots, you have poor range and lots of dispertion...

 

[MotionBlue]

Blizzard seems really slow to nerf/buff anyone. The Mcree changes have been needed for months now. Mei needs some too, why would they even make someone capable of stunlocking? They spent a decade trying to balance rogues in WoW for the exact same problems.

Lucio's "hold to use heal song" option isn't available on console. As far as I know it's only that one, but I have no idea why that's the case. It's one of the worse options anyway though, so it's fine.

 

[zoukka]

Yeah okay Widow is fucking bs

When you transition to higher MMR matches this becomes very evident.

 

[PayOffWizard]

It takes you past the first choke point to the back of the checkpoint. Very good for D.va to murder all the softer defenders at the back, or just take the point forcing everyone to retreat.

 

[toastyToast]

People are starting to shoot it into the air now which eats up a lot of the fuse time. It kind of just lands and explodes then

I just hope that when ranked comes out that people will not feel as pressured to not make mistakes when learning and experimenting in casual queues but I doubt it.

Well, it is called the practice range. I imagine it's there so you can, you know, practice.

 

[OmnipotentO]

I really don't give two shits about commendations or the play of the game (which doesn't even work half there time). I'd rather they just skip to my score screen and the next match.

Commendations are especially fucking worthless. If they actually did something like give you a little XP then it'd be cool.

I died last night to D.Va ult because enemy Lucio pushed me out of my cover -.-

It's the only opportunity you have to see how other people performed.

Huh, I do remember a Reaper using his teleport in that corner and wondering what that was about. Thanks, dude.
