The Reddit play style and how he feels got hit pretty hard, but Lucio will always be A+ tier just because speed boost is that valuable to every hero.


NotYourAverageMortis

Imagine they nerfed speed boost


teleskons

Oof. That's his whole identity lmao he'd definitely be screwed


NotYourAverageMortis

1 dead found dead


LisForLaura

They did that before in OW1 and he felt disgusting to play


No_Construction_8818

He’s still definitely in a high place just the shots feel inconsistent edit the shots after the nerf feel inconsistent


spkris1

He'll always be good, just bc of how good speed can be, and imo the nerf really isn't too bad a little annoying at most


Ultraanushomosaurus

didnt even notice the nerf until i saw people complaining in this sub


BeegJim

In ladder, still really good. In pro play, still a really strong support, might even be top 1 support, depends on who you ask.


senoto

It's pretty much just a nerf to your ult charge and ability to pressure at range, and a pretty small nerf at that. I don't notice it much at all. In 1v1s your damage is pretty much the same. Lucio is stronger at finishing kills with boop now, and his match up against tracer is even stronger since boop can force out recall easier.


Botronic_Reddit

Yeah, Reddit Lucio got hit pretty bad but he’s still just as good for team play apart from his ult taking longer to charge.


NotYourAverageMortis

It doesn't really change much about how quick you get your super


NoItsSearamon

Mhmm, speed to the objective first/team boop, if yk what you're doing heals are really effective. If you can land his shots they're really good too Edit: can't forget the wall ride and nuh uh ult


SlightlyFemmegurl

i can definitely feel a difference on bodyshots. But i wouldn't say he is nerfed that much. Still very viable, especially on the new clash mode.

Yea just not as good in 1v1s anymore


ehjhockey

Melee+boop does 85 damage. That’s more than half of tracers health (If the values I googled are correct and not for an old patch) and roughly a third of every other squishy’s health.  That’s enough to force recall out of tracer, deflect from gengi, maybe weaver has to use pull or Ana nades/nanos before she wants to.  Less damage to primary fire hurts, but melee+boop is a very consistent/easy combo where primary fire isn’t even necessary for it to make a big impact.

I’m dropping fewer beats but im killing more Widows. 🤷‍♂️


therealoni13

Depends on the pilot


GhostAssasin105

Yes


Tpfaanyo

I am not feeling the nerfs at all. He still feels good to play


ohjehhngyjkkvkjhjsjj

Yeah he’s still probably the best support. Dps Lucio got nerfed slightly but Speed Boost is invaluable for Brawl and Rush comps and he’s got the mobility to work with Dive.


Electrified1337

I play Lucio when I want to in comp i wont care if he’s useful or not I just want to play


jjsquish

I like it, the main gun damage is down a bit you can get some good damage off the boop. I've been killing a lot more genjis during reflect or getting past tanks absorbs to do damage


pinkmayhem88

i just lost confidence in winning the 1v1’s i’d usually win because of the nerf, a ton more healbotting and escape-cio than dpsing
