Lucio's range of healing/speed boost is indicated by a glowing circular area now.

Had to leave suddenly, but good games to the PS4 group.
Seems like they liked it in HotS. It is useful.

Agreed.
sure, but the basics of wall riding is pretty much just pressing and holding space, and is so forgiving with the timing.
A beginner would be able to wall ride within hours of playing lucio.

OGN is reruning last night's/morning's APEX matches:

There were some good ones, recommend watching if you missed it due to the absurd hours

While this seems to be a common suggestion I feel like it would be difficult to make this work. What would the target priority be, i.e. who gets targeted if there's an injured ally and an enemy in the turret's range?
I think Symmetra is perfectly fine without being able to heal. Niche characters should be allowed to exist, and Symmetra is very strong now.

That's the teacher's writing

It's more that I just want to see more healing options in the game. 4 choices when each game needs 2 is ick.
Red Arremer

Yeah, I too would like more healer options, but I think 4 is pretty good all things considered (looking at you, what Jeff calls anchor tanks). And Symmetra is fine as a support, especially with her reworked kit. Not every support needs to heal.
Yup, which is ridiculous. Make it an option. I'd love to have that.
HOTS has finally started fixing its issue w/ not having enough healers/tanks, I won't be surprised if that's the plan in the near-term for OW, since we know Doomfist (probably offense), Greek Guy (???) and Athena (Support) are most likely the 3 next on deck.

Good games LiK and Owzers, and Elza!
Was a decent night after being on Zelda for so long.
Ready for next week greatness.

Eichenwalde new access was really needed, now defense has to cover 3 areas
Tunnel choke point, the new access door, and flyers going over the 🏡
Wish Hanamura got swapped like that also
That window is fucking useless, should be 2 ways to enter Hanamura, give us something to the right connecting the house same way as Eichenwalde or give access to window with say a "bridge"
Defense can destroy it, timer of say 1 minute for it to come back up
Give it like 1 minute after game starts for it to be used
Give it like 1000HP, that way you have balance, but Defense now has to either take risk on f destroying bridge and leave area

Joined a wonderful game in progress. Defend volskaya. I picked hanzo because why not. They lose first point before I even left spawn. Ended up with 19 eliminate and no deaths lol
It was needed. Eichenwalde is probably the one map deeply stacked in defense's favor with a competent comp/team.
I've had more Eichenwalde draws than 2CP.

More importantly, Jeff said in his AMA that the actual data for Eichenwalde was troubling, moreso than just player's feelings about it, hence the change.

It would be nice to have new maps put in rotation more.

I am living. Two matches in a row I was paired with a Torb (NEED2HEALERS) who did absolutely nothing but walk back and forth while spamming emotes the entire game.
I get that people like this exist, and we all have to suffer, but twice in a row? Fucking bullshit. If you lose with someone on your team, the matchmaking shouldn't force you to play with that person a second time. Simple fix for this nonsense.
Yes, I reported him, but does Blizzard even care?

make his hammer do damage at 10 meters instead of 5!
Coming home to these Lucio PTR changes:
Although it forces the Lucio to stick with his team (like he should) and not go for those risky boops, I find the changes overall very positive for the character and game in general. Flankers for sure are gonna need a dedicated range healer like an Ana or Zen more than ever though.
But all these changes to me make Lucio even more of a must pick especially in tanky teams, so I don't think his usage will go down at all like Blizz wants.
edit: Also, these changes means not only he is harder to kill due to the wall ride buffs, but he does more consistent damage and builds his ults faster. Awesome.

I kinda feel that's a buff for good Lucios. Huge nerf for bad Lucios.

11k heal with zen. Feels good. But then again other team didn't stand a chance
We had an ana too.
I don't think she boosted anyone lol

I'm...okay with those Lucio changes. Lotta good shit in there, interested in trying it out.

He's stronger 1vs1 for sure, better healing and if things get too dangerous just wall-ride out of there, wonder how hard it will be to hit him on console.
Hopefully this change will make people group up more.
lol who am I kidding
Yeah I really don't want that. Hopefully you can switch it off.

Lucio is my fav char to play and I've always been a really aggressive one to the point I'm really using him not that right, but with these new changes it seems he will be even more of a fit for me, I wish I were better at booping, I'm not that cheeky yet.
I would like for the radius to be a biiiiiit bigger but we can't have everything we want.

Debatable.
You build your ult with healing too. I don't think the 50% buff to his healing can compensate the radius nerf when you play with uncoordinated teams where everyone is all over the place.
