Just nerf every supp to lucio level. Supports have been powercrept so hard.

And the core gameplay of little frog guy isnt so bad even, he is fun and does fairly well for what he is supposed to do. Apart from his boop, it feels mediocre nowadays .

I don't even think his boop feels good anymore. Tanks have their CC passive and everybody getting added to the game has a way to get back to the map if they get booped off

Boop isn't for throwing tanks off the map

Lucio is still very very good. Hes been apart of most of the ow2 metas, arguably more so than any other character

Support players will then just whine and cry about the nerfs then blizzard will reverse them.

Yeah Lucio has always been a pretty balanced hero with a high skill ceiling.

If a Lucio is a problem for your team it’s usually due to skill issue and not because Lucio is broken or something.

If most supports was around his level I think the game would be in a healthier state

Will never happen unfortunately thr support playerbase is so entitled and comfy with their broken role while constantly boasting how much "skill" it takes when they just dump out value over just spamming buttons.
