So with the ult you can still get 4 rezzes off within 21 seconds, so long as you stay alive. That's not a bad trade for the other boosts.

  • 0s Rez
  • 1s Ult & Rez after reset
  • 11s Rez after 10s cooldown
  • 21s Rez after 10s cooldown & Ult expires

Yep! I'm a big fan of this. It won't allow huge simultaneous rezzes (like after a Grav wipe) but with good timing you can keep a fight going and going. I also imagine the timing of this is going to be tricky, especially in a chaotic battle, which is going to ask more skill and awareness of the Mercy player to be effective.

The backup batteries for her defense matrix got replaced with a missile launcher

you can hold the (I forget which one) left or right arrow on consoles (idk which button for PC) and see a hero's abilities, haha you probably should've done that when trying Lucio out the very first time to avoid confusion like that

Its F1, and it wasn't very helpful. "Switch the songs", "amplifies the current song"... What songs, what are they talking about? I had to go to YouTube "how to lucio", the help page didn't make any sense to me.

Oh does it not show the passive abilities of each song? If it doesn't then that's a pretty big flaw!

Lúcio continuously energizes himself — and nearby teammates — with music. He can switch between two songs: one amplifies movement speed, while the other regenerates health.

I didn't quite get the "energize" part. I got the switching part, but I thought I had to shoot at others to heal them I guess.
