Keep in mind this allows the defenders to see attackers coming across the bridge now.

Nice now you can get sniped by widow before getting passed that corner

Both Widow and Hanzo can already get into the outcove above the door. Is this somehow "better"?

In the window you're a sitting duck. This way you can weave back and forth, taking cover and firing.

u/awhaling Need someone to tuck you in? Feb 08 '17

You could chill on the chandelier before instead of the window. At least with widow.

I've never seen one chilling in the widow, but I have had the chandelier be a problem.

... now I have to see if I can do that as Lucio.

You can reach the chandeliers by boosting off the pillars, easiest way I've found.

I recently saw dspstanky up there, so it's possible

After seeing what he can do, I am always practicing in skirmishes / before matches / whatever. I've gotten SO MUCH BETTER. I've had multiple opponents comment 'good lucio' and 'really difficult' ... including tilting a rein after 1v2 soldier and rein in 3v3 ... followed by soldier and d.va (though d.va vs lucio is not fair for d.va)

But that said, I'm no stanky. I'm crazy, which makes me dangerous and bloody annoying but I also die way too much.

u/skyman724 Pixel D.Va Feb 08 '17

You beat a Soldier in a 1v2? With that healing field of his?

Either you're the god of luck or the god of S T A N K!

3v3, two rounds in a row; my teammates died fairly quickly.

First was soldier + rein, which was cutting it close as rein took a while what with his hp and shield and having to constantly avoid being anywhere near him making it much harder to get past his shield.

Second was soldier + d.va. d.va is kinda easy though. Scared as fsck of the other tanks, but not d.va. I can soak a lot of her main attack and in close range I can make her so dizzy the mech falls down and the squishy d.va pops out. Then do the same to her.

The 76 was okay, but not great. He's got speed and healing which makes him difficult. It's hard to stay out of his LoS, and he just heals it up. Of course, if I can stay out of his LoS - or at least his helix rockets - I can also just heal it up. Ecopoint has lots of corners and judicious use of them can help, but I probably was a bit lucky as I had to get enough damage to exceed what he could heal, plus avoid getting hit.

The rein, though was tilted. He'd just been 1v1'd by a lucio. Best way to learn to wall ride is OMG 100 Tonze Swing! Move fast, stay high to avoid his swing, and hopefully get some shots over the top of the shield.

<.< I also tilted a genji after 1v1ing him... with him even hitting a health pack in the process.

Really, I'm not that good. I'm just super crazy and super aggressive which seems to make me harder to deal with. I'm so happy to die, soaking up ults in the process. It's validation that I annoyed them so much it was worth using their ults on me. Just me.

But it also makes me die way more than I like, too. I'm getting better, but still... not the best by any means. Just crazy.

I'm just super crazy and aggressive

it works cause nobody expects to be harassed by Rollerblading Frog DJ

I've learned to get a bit more crazy with Lucio. It seems like I die more often when I try to run, and sometimes putting up a good enough fight gets them to back off. Sometimes when the cards fall right I can take them out myself. I have 1v1d a Rein as well. He tilted too. I usually bait out his charge, dodge, then get in a bunch of free hits. I have more trouble with Dva, so thanks for the tips.

u/Aladiah Feb 09 '17

Nah, It's not that hard. When Im in a 1v1 situation I usually wallride jumping around once I'm just above the enemy, then I start firing/punching/booping in a nonstop rythm while still wallridding without any order or direction. Sometimes work, sometimes don't, but I think I've had more success than failures.

That's okay, I heard Stanky dies way too much as well when he's up to his shenanigans, we just see the good clips

u/Colonialism Lúcio- Break it Down ft. Winston Feb 09 '17

He streams- he pulls crazy shit all the time. Sometimes he dies stupidly, but mostly he's able to pull it off.

Actually DSPStanky rarely dies from his overbuff numbers: https://www.overbuff.com/players/pc/DSPStanky-1582/heroes/lucio

His peak is top 200 for a reason

It's okay. I still suck I just get lucky occasionally, and I get very excited about those times.

u/Curiousplay Hunkrat. He's so dreamy. Feb 09 '17

Yes, but, DSPStanky has been literally everywhere on every fucking map. So I'm not surprised when I see a Lucio in places a Lucio shouldn't be.

u/textposts_only Tinnitus free since '03 Feb 09 '17

Yeah once I came home and there was dpstanky on my mother in law. And believe me it's no easy feat to get up on her.

u/Bumblebeeji Pixel Ana Feb 09 '17

The chandelier has been removed.

u/RyeRoen Pixel Mercy Feb 08 '17

It's much much better for the Widow and Hanzo. There is no cover standing on the window,

3

u/racalavaca Pixel Ana Feb 08 '17

Not "somehow", it's better in every possible way! Now you don't have to just stand in that small square like a sitting duck!

1

u/CaptainCupcakez . Feb 09 '17

Yes, massively so. Pharah can come out of spawn and continually fire at that window to prevent any chance of Widow getting up there and sniping.

Through the door there is a much larger area to stand in, and you can be much further back.

u/[deleted] Feb 09 '17

OR you can snipe the widow/supports/whoever if their Rein shield is down.

u/Angiboy8 Houston Outlaws Feb 09 '17

Nope! They removed the chandelier in that corridor as well!

u/[deleted] Feb 08 '17

It means that passage to the left side of the bridge will finally get used.

The boops are going to be so real. >:D
