Blizzard should give us the ability to have custom tracks for our Lucios as a buff
Try to get a headshot with the shottie and change your melee to something easier to push. It's been working for me thus far.
I do like Lucio's music but I can't argue with this. For the healing buff I want Sexual Healing to play.

I think Zenyatta's nerfs need to be looked at, again. Bumping him even to 200 HP could be enough. Reverting to not requiring line of sight for his orbs might be a little too much, but he definitely needs something. I love the character and stand by picking him. That little bump in HP might just be the ticket.
Symmetra's shield buff could use a small tweak, too. It used to be 50, which proved to be too strong, and now it's 25, which seems a little too weak. Would 35 be enough? 40?
Hanzo's ultimate gain rate. Does it seem to gain a lot quicker than most people? When I play him, I can get off a ton of ults in a single game. I don't feel that way about most other characters.
Mei's ice block self-heal. I'm torn on this one. I, personally, don't think it needs a nerf. Maybe make it so she can't capture a point or push a payload while in ice form? The same could go for Reaper's ghost form.

Mercy's pistol is actually pretty powerful and fires fast, imo. managed to outgun Reapers and Soldiers sometimes. I think Lucio does good damage as well but his attacks take longer to hit so it seems he's weak. But if you connect all the time, you can quickly take out some players.

Yup. I remapped Mercy's weapon change to L2, since she has no alt fire. and can switch between offense and defense with ease. From behind a Reinhardt shield, she can take out turrets and Bastions before reloading. She plays a lot like Zero Suit D.Va in this regard.
If no one has the medic icon on them, I don't heal them right away. I either buff a Soldier or some other attacker, or shoot things myself. Just gotta be quick on the switch back to healing. Of course, if things are hectic, I go 100% healer.

Fun Tracer clip from last night. Not impressive in any skill sense but we took the first point on Volskya Industries and a Hanzo , Bastion and Torbjorn were posted up on Defense awaiting everyone to descend on the point well... except I had already infiltrated before they expected it.....

Yeah even timing killing her is hard on maps where you are up agaisnt the defense. She can respawn run out and clean up the mess. So I guess the best thing to do is to kill her not first but before you kill a majority of the whole team in those situations.

at a distance: right click, hook, melee, left click

Perhaps.
But that's why he's worthless in comparison to a Mercy or Lucio who have about 1000% more survivability and utility than some glass canon who has to hide behind cover.
do you just spam the lmb once you hook them or do you time it?
Oh, it's melee before left click?
Saw this on reddit, and it's so damn true

He doesn't have disadvantages exactly but his greatest strength is that his heal is passive and has a huge AoE though beyond that there's not much to him. The speed boost mostly benefits him more so than anyone else at the cost of healing in the middle of a fight. His primary fire is more of an annoyance, alt fire is extremely situational. The ult is probably the weakest in the game and especially does not rank up compared to the other support characters.
Not a terrible character by any means though.

I would say their ults are about even. Lucio's ult prevents less overall damage but is proactive (which is massive for pushes/final holds), while Mercy's is reactive (which means that if you kill her first, she can't ever use it).
He's the second most picked character in competitive for a reason. His ult is one of the best in the game, it's a reliable way to make for a powerful push. Not nearly as situational as D.Va's or Winston's.

What? Lucio's ult is amazing. Combo it with the speed boost amp and just storm the point, you cannot fucking die.

that's probably me on you. i mean. who goes for the person they are healing like rein lol.
i've been having fun with winston on defense. at times i get hit with a rocket or something as i jump away so i have a super mega jump lol.
i forget i had the ice wall up from fiddling with the key so when the game starts i accidentally click it and it blocked the team from advancing lol
JUSTICE RAI-oh, I just killed myself, thanks Mei.
I think you're really selling his abilities short, especially his primary weapon and his ultimate. His ult is not as good as a mass rez, sure, but in a group fight, it gives your team a nice edge which is a pretty big advantage.
Maybe he does it differently but I always hook and left click the minute I hear the chain clinking noise and shoot at the head where I expect it to be. Doesn't always work because sometimes the hooks screw up but it USUALLY works. I always hit melee afterwards no matter if the shot killed them or not because...eh why not. Either it kills them or a few frames are expended whiffing nothing while I move somewhere else.. That's my version of the double-tap.
Let me guess, no one voted for you afterwards?

Damn, nice work. 76 is definitely a good character!

I do hook, left click, melee and it always works. There's no real timing to it really. Just wait for the hook animation to finish then shoot and immediately melee.

The nastiest thing i have seen is a mercy and a mei at the last point of payload maps that have that sort of closed choke point thing going on, like route 66, hollywood or kings row. Freeze the enemy team, revive your entire team and just turn the tide completely.
The same thing works in reverse though lol.
I've had generally bad luck with hooking McCree since it almost inevitably sends him into an easy flashbang + FTH combo. I'll only ever grab him if I'm sure he's just spent it now
Everyone bashing Mei for this doesn't realize that by putting up that ice wall she saved her team from getting wiped out by that damage buffed Bastion.

SO basically as you just said, Zenyatta is trash.
As someone who has played Counter-Strike since the Half Life 1 days I can tell you that Soldier on PC lends himself very well to those with fast reaction and good aim/movement. I do REALLY well with him but he is the least interesting to play in OverWatch, at least his heal is helpful to teammates though.
Also want to chime in about Zenyatta, he is my preferred support Hero. I do really well with him for some reason, I end up getting 15 or more kills per game while keeping my heal on someone in my LOS and debuffing their tanks and big threats. With Mercy my K/D is trash but she is an amazing healer. Lucio is situational for me as I can put out decent damage when my team doesn't decide to have 3 or 4 flankers/solo players and I love pushing people of ledges.
They are still stunned up until the end of the animation. So left click as soon as the animation finished, then melee to cancel the animation and add on more damage.
Try to get a headshot with your shotgun shot.

He's literally the best character in the game.
Here's how a tier list works for Overwatch:
Tier 1: Lucio
Tiers 2-4(5): Everyone else
Seriously, fuck Widowmaker. People just sit a million miles away, whiffing on endless shots, not helping contest anything, and concentrating the fire on everyone else by virtue of the enemy team having fewer targets, lowering our survival odds. I know everyone paid for the game and no one should be expected to subsidize other people's fun, but fuck, playing 5 on 6 gets old.

JUSTICE RAINS FROM ABOVE, on the floor. I saw it in the highlight, they were looking AT me, then looked UP to try to find me.

No see, you're not entitled to fun, so they get to have all the fun they want because they are entitled to it. :^)

This game is infuriating at times. I shouldn't keep being the only person that tanks or heals. Why are there 2 Hanzo's and a damn Widowmaker on my team when we are on attack? Why will no one switch characters when it is established we are getting throttled? Ffs... this is a team game!
it's so weird. he's like the most generic FPS character ever and the fact that i've played tons of military FPS games, i should be comfortable with him but I'm not. Probably need to practice with him some more.

Best quotes:
Unless you decide to ditch the group and chase down the enemy.
Was there a second Bastion we didn't see? That Fan the Hammer would have murdered that Bastion.

You realize that she didn't save anyone right? He had just flashbanged and was about the FTH and wreck that Bastion.
I'm hoping you're taking the piss here.
It sounds terrible but I had a similar situation. I was debating for a little bit whether I'd buy a few, but ended up with a couple nice skins back to back from level up boxes. After that I just thought "nah, I'm good now".
