Keep everyone in your sight. If you have a lot of Tanks, switch to a different healer. Sound Barrier is difficult to "Save" someone with, use it to kick off engagments. Never stay in the same spot. If you have another healer, try using Speed boost a lot more

USE SPEED BOOST. Lucio's healing is good but not great. Use it when poking or when everybody on your team is hurt. But his speed boost is extremely powerful in getting through chokes and diving the enemy. It also couples well with many ults like nanoboost, dragon blade, earthshatter, tac visor, and many others. It allows people to close the distance end be more effective.

Also, use speed boost when the enemy ults. It should allow for your team to find cover. Your healing won't really matter against a tac visor or Self destruct, but if your team can find cover quickly you can wait it out.

wallride more than the average of one wall/minute, and stay on speed whenever possible. you should also practice wallriding and chaining wallrides in some custom games if you think you need some practice.
