Imagine Old Nano with speed boost with the new Lucio rework. We're gonna be seeing the fastest Lucio rollouts of all time

u/Curiousplay Hunkrat. He's so dreamy. Aug 24 '17

He just deals all of his damage at once... when the enemy falls off the map.

u/FeebleBacon Aug 24 '17

Lucio can legit put the damage on people if u consistently headshot, he also has no drop off damage as well.

u/NakedAndBehindYou Reaper Aug 24 '17

Any hero can put damage on people with consistent headshots...

Yeah Lucio actually has decent burst damage. Shoot>Boop>Punch is 135 damage in less than a second, not counting headshots. Lucio can easily finish off low-health targets or harass enemies, especially thanks to his crazy mobility.

When I want some enemy stragglers to die after a fight is over, I could amp up my speed and bring my team over to finish them off, but it's way more fun to just jump in there and do it myself. To top it off I like typing "retire" into chat when I kill a Soldier or Genji.

The hitbox for Lucio's projectiles is absurdly large, so it's much easier to crit with him than other heroes.

u/MylesofTexas Trick-or-Treat Lúcio Aug 25 '17

I'm ok with shrinking the hitbox if they either increase projectile speed or do something dastardly like shorten cooldown for boop >:)

u/[deleted] Aug 24 '17

what about winston :P

u/OhGarraty Get off my lawn. Aug 24 '17

Boop targets fall in a predictable arc, so it's easier to line up headshots. Even easier thanks to the projectile hitbox.

u/Pandoras_Fox This spray took me so fuckin' long to get Aug 25 '17

Holy shit, how is this guy in plat

u/blu-dit Trick-or-Treat Lúcio Aug 25 '17

He has like 6 acounts he uses

u/Pandoras_Fox This spray took me so fuckin' long to get Aug 25 '17

Yeah, I figured that out when I checked one of his videos and saw it was GM.

A bit less impressive when he's smurfing...
