How do I carry on Lucio?
This probably won’t be the most organized post but I’ll try my best.
Hi all I’ll try to keep it short and sweet I’m diamond 2, have about 2000 hours on overwatch and a support main. I played a lot of Ana, Mercy, and brig with some other characters sprinkled in and this February I decided to step out of my comfort zone and try to learn lucio a character I’ve been avoiding because I was tragically bad at him. So starting my journey I practiced a lot of Lucio surf and the lijang rollout and feel pretty confident about his movement mechanics and then I started trying to play him in real games and… I feel like I’m useless. Lucio doesn’t feel as rewarding as someone like Ana because of her strong cooldowns and I solo queue comp and don’t talk to people in game chat cause people mean and scary so I can’t always coordinate speed boost for when too kite or aggress. I’ve done my fair share of YouTubing like watching Frogger and Eskay and I’m conflicted because people like frogger play more aggressive dps style Lucios and find success while people like Eskay play more supportive lucio and again it still works but neither works for me a lot of the time. I won’t say it’s lucios fault but I’m not very good at dueling on him and not confident, but support Lucio in solo queue just feels like playing weaker mercy when your dps are bad so Im trying to mash together those two infinites and it’s sorta working but I don’t feel as impactful as I think I should be I never feel like I can make a difference I feel like if my tank and dps are good then I win and if they’re not then I lose. I guess what this more boils down to what is my purpose? I know it’s hard to see what I’m doing without any gameplay code or examples but what have you guys done to help with this feeling or issue? If anyone has any good YouTube videos they’ve seen or a good aim training code I’d appreciate it.
