Lucio is one of few characters who has multiple playstyles that the devs actually encourage, he's always been strong no matter what way you play him but recently, this idea is cracking.

    I would pray for a video diving into how Reaper has fallen off and lost his identity as the game’s core tank buster and flanker and has become the “He is a pick but … does it better” character.
  • lucio is what supports should be an actually unique character that isn't just a straight up dps hero
  • So funny that Brawl and Goats couldnt work without him, even Brig was replaced after the nerfs by Zen/Ana/Lucio, he even fits perfectly into Dive as well, he really is the true villain of OW
  • I got to say, using Sonic the hedgehog music as the background for a Lucio video is an extremely well placed touch
  • @simonioos
    the problem with current lucio isnt the boop being too weak against tanks. its the damage of his primary fire along with low ammo and long reload speed. if you revert the last lucio change (the shift of damage from boop to primary fire) he will be able to be a good duelist again.
  • @lofaiskov
    Btw, fun trivia imo, Lucio was nicknamed walking biotic field on the first months of the game
  • The largest amount of japanese residents out of Japan are in Brazil so it makes sense lucio and kiri are the perfect backline
  • I think Frogger puts it best in his recent video where he talks about his problems with Overwatch "A rant about Overwatch 2" around 22 min-mark. Tank as a role is already suffering, and allowing Lucio to freely boop the guy that is meant to take the brunt of the force is an awful experience for the other who is already facing other CCs from the entirety of the team. People would kept on complaining about boop, making it so that his boop eventually getting nerf'ed. Blizzard made it so that you are allowed to boop and punish others more harshly but not the tank. It's choosing lesser of the two evils.
  • as someone who has played since 2016- lucio to me is the most fulfilling character to play in the game, hands down. I love healing my team, sticking with a rein while we push back the enemy is one of my favorite things to do, and good lord i can stall like a mother fucker on a point like theres no tomorrow. I love lucio, lucio best boy.
  • For me the most fun thing about him is going into custom games turning up boop’s knock back to max and just launching bots off the map
  • @maxyboi427
    This was a very entertaining video to watch and as a Lucio main I love the way he plays as he is one of the fastest characters, and I personally love the fast gameplay. He provides Lucia heels are nothing to look down upon as they are the only consistent AOE in the game right now the only difference between him, Moira and Baptiste is that he actually has a lot of skill that’s locking him behind his kit. I do honestly feel like the damage switched between his boot and primary fire was a bad idea. It would’ve been a lot nicer to keep the primary damage the way it was a blizzard never really makes anybody happy so I do hope that he gets a bit of a cheeky buff in season 11🤭
  • Lucio was the first hero i played in a match. As huge fan of Jet Set Radio, how could i not love him? (Also i think he’s cute and his VA is handsome AF) 7 years later (I joined in 2017), and he’s still one of my top used supports, mostly in brawl comps if the other support picks a main healer, or in push maps where mobility is stressed way more than anything else. I swap back and forth between an aggressive reddit Lucio and team support Lucio in every match as it seems to be the fastest way I can build ult and cancel other ults. (I really focus on fast ult build when going against a D.Va). The speed allows me to move quickly between enemy teams and my own team, and brawl comps are even easier because the teams will often get jumbled and that chaos is where he thrives.

    lucio is the reason i still play this game! hes so fun anyone whos bored of overwatch just try out this hero theres so much depth and once you get kinda good at wallriding and aiming you feel so powerful but never in a way that makes it feel like you didnt deserve it
  • Goodlord seeing old bastion turret form, one of the few changes i liked ow2 did
  • I’m a Lucio main, personally I think the tank passive was necessary. Lucio shouldn’t be able to straight up solo tanks. Also it feels so much more satisfying booping tanks off the map because it’s difficult
  • the 4 horsemen of "good character design, but somehow still feels horrible to play"-Rein, genji, lucio and winston( a close contender would be doom)
