why lucio is the best hero in overwatch

[poliakov.noam]

disclaimers:
this is my opinion, so not everyone is going to agree with me and that this isnt 100% correct.

i am also a lucio one trick, so i dont have much an opinion on other heroes, wich i think is okay because i am not going to compare them to lucio, please dont comment with "____ is actually a better design" without giving me proper criticism on my own statement and an explanation on youre opinion
this isnt about lucio's viability, its about his design, and how i believe hes the best charcter overwatch has ever made, from how he plays, to his balance, and his role in overwatch
minor mispelling and grammer mistakes, ok lets do this

lucio is overwatcth's best charcter, atleast in the support catogory, and i think its because his abilitys were specifically designed to work together, and fill a role no other support can achieve, aswell as being the healthiest when it comes to showcasing skill and individuality in the players who play him and rewarding game sense and creativity

lucios abilities when separated, seem pretty bland when looked at individually, but when they are put together, it showcases how balanced and thought out lucio's design trully is,
he feels like they knew exactly what kind of hero they were making when designing lucio
CROSSFADE AND ANP IT UP
crossfade and amp it up are great examples to start with, crossfade has two functions, healing and speed boost, unlike other support heroes who have to manually use there support abilities to help their team, lucio supports his team pasivally, wich doesnt make it easier for him to support his team like many believe, its done this way since lucio has lots of responsibilities and things he must do to keep himself alive, and to allow newer players to be affective with him and learn the more skill intensive abilities on his kit,
but it itself takes some skill, because he needs to switch between healing and speeding in situitions where they could be most affective, this doesnt seem hard, but good lucios know wich ability works best on the spot, wich gives lucio a uniqe game sense players must learn, when youre teammate is in a fight, you have a choice between healing or giving them a speed boost for them to escape with you or push forward and get the kill, depending if the other healer is near or not, lucio must deside how he must save his and his teammates life in only a few seconds. its extremly usefull, allowing you too support everyone on youre team all at once, and its not powerfull, the healing is one of the weakest in the game, this is also good game design, since lucio must use his full kit to make up for this weakness and makes sure lucio isnt stronger then other supports at healing,

that was more things to say about one ability then i expected, and what i did say doesnt give it justice, but i must move forward to his next abilities

WALL RIDE
his wall ride is one of the coolest movment mechanics in gaming, you dont see it in many games, and especially not from a support charcter, but lucio's wall ride allowes for endless creativity and adrenalin pumping moments, that doesnt take away from his supporting since he supports passivaly, i dont know if this is true, but im pretty sure lucio's ability to get insane amounts of speed was an unintentionall bug the overwatch team desided to keep in as an "intendent feature" wich im pretty sure is one of the only times they have done so, this desicioun allowed for lucio to have a massive and unreachable skill celing, and made itself an unreplacable part in his kit, lucio wall ride allowes him to get to his team in seconeds, allowing him too easilly support two peaple from diffrent sides of the map, makes him really good in 1v1 situations and escapeing or avoiding danger. it gives lucio the ability to pick his fights, and this is all possible if youre really really good at it, this powerfull ability is great game design, since its only a movement mechanic, it doesnt have a massive affect on lucio's core balance, and forces players to have massive amount of skill for it to be a usefull tool on their disposal while still being good at the rest of lucios kit

BOOP
overwatch loves giving charcter game changing abilities to their charcters, and especially their supports, i am talking about abilities such as mercy's resurrect and baps immort field, but unlike the other supports lucio's game changing ability is small and minor, and not as powerfull, but its still game changing, its another way for lucio to support his team, but unlike his crossfade, its more technicall and adoptible, lucio can use his boop to push enemies into danger, like, ofcoures, enviromental hazards, but it can also push enemies to youre teammates to secure kills, or push enemies back to save youre team, there were many times where an enemy reaper was going to ult in my teams face but couldnt because i booped him away, thats what makes it such a good game changer, since its ability to defend is also limited, unlike other abilities that can deside a match, lucio's boop requires good positoning, wich can only be obtained threw good movement from is wall ride, it also doesnt prevent an enemy from still exsisting, the reaper that i pushed back might not have killed me and my team, but i also havent killed him, wich prevents it from being to strong

PRIMARY
his primary is very strong, but also very weak, lucio's gun can fire 5 rounds of 4 extreamly slow shots that each deal 20 damege on a body shot, this isnt bad, since lucio's job is too support his team, not be third dps, but his gun still allowes lucio to do decent damege, and secure kills that might get away, and there extremly slow speed is made up for lucio's own quickness, its made for self defence, but lucios speed and his ability to keep himself alive already do it for him, but the abilty to do damege shouldn't be undervalued, since if youre realy good at using the weapon, you can esentially act as a third dps who can also support, without it being unbalanced

SOUND BARRIER
sound barrier is the best support ultimate, and i believe it has no competition. most other support ultimates ethier require cordination from youre team, and/or dont support youre team directly, like mercy's or moira's ult, lucio's ult however is not only balanced, but puts its effectivness into the lucio's hands and not his teams, allowing lucio to create game changing moments if hes smart enough, being able to negate the damege that comes from enemy ults is an extremly usefull tool, that if done impropperly, might mean you wasted youre most powerfull ability, that also takes the longest in the game to obtain, this ultimate is pure defense. although it might be powerfull, its also has a major weakness, it only activate's when lucio hits the ground and disables his wall ride, this means there is a short period of time where lucio is defenseless and has no way too escape danger, and if he dies in this period of time, he loses the ultimate.

CONCLUSION
lucio is the best designed charcter in overwatch, hes balanced, hes skillfull, but he isnt overpowered, wich many peaple believe, or atleast used to believe, supports werent, lucio has never gotten any major changes since the ow was realesed, and his design as always stayed the same and fully realised, from his great skill celing to his accesability to newer players, hes always been one of overwatch's best charcters in terms of concept, and my opinion, the best

His level of charisma is second only to his level of impact on the game.
most of his skins are nonsense (like Satyr or dark faun) some of them are decent (corredor, Hippitihop) but there also godly skins like (space prince, graffiteiro, Ribbit)
his Ultimate is the better offense ults in the game gives the allies a big ammount of health points and expand the time of defending/attacking the point.
so yeah Lucio is a Star a genuine one.

Sorry to dissapoint you but Kiriko and Zen have better ults when it comes to supports. Zen's ult is literally a stronger version of Lucio's ult and Kiriko's ult makes every character a death machine and wins fights, often resulting in a team kill.

Lucio mafia always wins.
