Lúcio Tips
- Utilize Lúcio’s Soundwave on maps where players can fall to their deaths
- When hooked by Roadhog, you can knock him back with your Soundwave if you time it just right. Press it a millisecond after you realize that you’ve been hooked. Alternately, if you are in speed boost mode you can maneuver away from Roadhog’s shot before it kills you
- Mastering Wall Ride can be advantageous as it can get you out of some sticky situations depending on which map you’re on
- Lúcio is a good pick for any map that requires you to push a Payload as he can use his Speed Boost to get the team on there faster
- The key to being a good Lúcio is knowing when to switch between healing and speed boost. Many Lúcio players only use speed boost as a means of getting to the action faster, but try to think of scenarios where you and your team will benefit from a speed boost. For example, when a D.va Self-destruct is inbound, you and your allies benefit greatly from a speed boost
Changes from April 11th 2017
- Lúcio’s healing has become more focused. You’ll now notice that when playing Lúcio there is a circle on the ground that marks the area where his healing and speed boosts count. This means you’ll have to do a much better job sticking with the team than before. No more going off on your own if you want to be a true team player
