The best part of this is that according to Kotaku, the kid corrected the teacher when S/he spelled Hanzo Hanso.

New Lucio changes on PTR. Pretty crazy changes. https://playoverwatch.com/en-us/blog...660#patchnotes

[kisada]

really interesting changes

i like most of them. not all, though. trying him on ptr right now.

[kisada]

yo it's so fucking fun

skill cap on lucio went up so much. exactly what he needed.

[Corrderio]

Gotta try those changes tomorrow.

Anyway, what's Competitive like this season? Bastion replace 76? Triple Tank still a thing?

Award the parents a couple as well; that's glorious.

I like the idea of those Lucio adjustments. instead of nering his whole kit to compensate for the OP range and utility of his abilities... nerf the range of his abilities to spread the love elsewhere. It seems like it may make him more balanced as a whole with the 10 meter range, it hurts flankers even more though... side nerfs and all.

Still, a 50% healing buff sounds great, and Lucio is usually with his team too... still the small range on his buffs now make the wall riding almost at odds with it, I can think of wall riding on the ruins of Ilios on those pillars, you may be out of range of your team in some spots on those now...

I've been floating 2200-2600 and it's kind of all over. You do get a lot of Bastion but 76 is still the go to. I mostly do Pharah though because when I don't my dps are trash so I'm mostly going by how the other teams are. You very rarely see triple tank these days just because you do need damage. Keep in mind Tuesday adds Orisa to live, and possibly these Lucio changes, so things are going to be a bit crazy for a while.

[Corrderio]

I see. Guess it doesn't affect me me too much as a support since I normally go Zenyatta/Lucio. Kinda doubt they'd put the Lucio changes in that soon but you never know.

[kisada]

lol they don't give a shit about things being nuts in terms of balance and monkey wrenches, they'll do whatever they feel

[silverdragontyr]

Oh yeah I could easily see them adding the Lucio changes that quickly. Look what they did with Bastion. Oh that "A new route has been added to Eichenwalde that connects the attacking team's spawn area to the capture point"? It's literally just a doorway from the first medpak on the right to the little sideroom. It does just shy of literally nothing.

Urgh god I forgot how much QP is like the special olympics.

AMP IT UP!

For high skill levels, Lucio's individual contributions are gonna skyrocket.

[Corrderio]

Jesus...

Every single comp team would drag their balls across 10 miles of broken glass just to hear DSPStanky drop the beat through a walkie-talkie.

[Corrderio]

Is it bad I don't know who that is?

Is it bad I don't know who that is?

I didn't until i think Seagul brought it up in a stream, he's a top 500 Lucio player who's pretty damn good.

One trick pony. Only plays Lucio, can chase down a flying Pharah if he wanted to. Originally played console and posted a video of him destroying everyone. People said "GL doing that on PC, you a scrub." Made a new video getting 4k on PC to shut everyone up.
