can you upload some games?.......full matches as Lucio love playing Lucio but am not very good at it...l appreciate vids of people who know how to play this character
Forgot to mention the 'Taxi'. After a won team fight, Lucio’s have the ability to go back to spawn to get their fallen teammates back to point faster. Usually most important on koth maps (king of the hill). Especially necessary to get tank back fast so you don’t relinquish map control.
I do this for my buddy who's a rein main lol if he dies and everyone is ok or I'm already at spawn I just wait on him so he's back. It's extremely important in 2 now
oh this is soooooo important the amount of times ive seen lost fights cause we were waiting for the tank to come back while their team spawned together and rolled us. Then it snowballs into a stagger and GG
Really appreciate this video. As a new player that’s started with 2, this vid is way more advanced than anything players are doing down here in bronze but there’s some core lessons to learn like protecting the other support from flankers and peeling that I didn’t really understand before. Thanks!
Honestly, I appreciate this side of the community. I get that theirs a lot of new players which I’m fine with but it doesn’t help when older players don’t help out and teach new players so they can do better.
OH dude its a nightmare, peeling has somehow turned into a lost ancient art of some kind lmao. Anything to get that word out helps us all. If Tanks and DPS don't have your back then it's up to Supports to watch each others backs!
i'm really new to overwatch and as a Lucio main, i always go insane trying to keep all of my teammates alive while also trying to do damage, this video inspired me to keep getting better
Biggest thing to remember as Lucio is that your role is “support”, not healer. Don’t stay on heal the entire time. Your healing per second is so low without amp so use speed boost when it is needed!!!!!!!!
great video, i never understood peeling to this extent so thank you for actually explaining the concept! would love more Lucio and kiriko breakdowns, particularly in payload or push situations
Sure thing! Peeling used to be such a big deal when my team was in Open Division it was literally just the Lucios job to peel and do almost nothing else it's a big thing a lot of players arent doing it anymore in OW2 so I'm glad to bring some attention to it
Seeing that first clip reminded me that that’s how I thought you healed people with Lucio when I first started playing the game in 2016, i was so confused
Really appreciate this video as I'm brand new and a lot of videos I've seen so far assume I know everything already. I was one of the people trying to heal by shooting team mates 🙃
As a veteran player I've seen a lot of newbies struggle with the idea of "counters" and why certain team compositions are weak or strong. If you could find a way to make that concept digestible I think it would be a great help to the community.
Honestly besides movement the main thing I wanna learn is when to be on speed and heals, i feel like no guides really talk about when you should be healing and when you should be using speed within fights and stuff like that
I’ll admit when I was new a few years back I thought lucio would heal by shooting his team aside from his heal radius. I thought I wasn’t healing bc I was missing the shots. Took a full game to figure out it doesn’t work that way 😂
this is the perfect like, collection of Lucio tips and ideas and stuffies ive been looking for! :D i love supports and lucio is my favourite but i get lots of hate for playing him, such as people saying not to use speed boost and heal, but Lucio(im pretty sure) has one of the lowest base heals(without amp it up) in the game if not the worst. so ive been searching for a high rank or very experienced Lucio player to try to learn some things and now i can learn more tips and stuffies for other support heros. soooooo thank you Artorigold!:)
thanks so much, i started playing zen but realized he wasn't really that good in silver comp so I started playing lucio and my deaths have gone down a lot w/ my heals going up. this video helped me out even more
I love Zenyatta I've gotten 4500 SR with him in OW1 and he is my all time favorite hero but yeah it makes me pretty sad that he isn't very good right now. Thanks for watching the video I'm glad you liked it!
previously to last night when i joking picked lucio and found out i really like him, i thought he was a bad support (unless you are pros ofc cause speedboost is best support for OWL) and would think our other healer was bad if they did less healing than lúcio but now that i started playing him i see how powerful his aoe heal can be even though it’s small
I feel like there's a steep learning curve but I'm also interested to know more. Really appreciate the vid! Since there's bound to be a lot of new players, would think it'll be cool if there was like a breakdown on how to effectively work as the different roles
This video is everything I needed omg thank you so much. Lucio is such a fun character to play, he’s so unique. He’s primarily the only reason I’m playing overwatch 2 right now he’s really fun.
would love to see a follow up with the vod review you mentioned at the end. could you specifically talk about positioning, synergy and counterpicks next time?
I definently needed to hear about peeling. Mained my boi since Day 1 of OW1 but suffer from trying to be a Reddit Lucio from time to time. The ultimate tracking is also team saving advice. A tip of the hat to you my guy 🤠
watched the video this morning, within 12hr I am already a better Lucio player! Ty for the video, please make more like this with other support heroes :)
I did 10 competitive matches as a Lucio Main. 7 Win - 3 Loses - 10k to 16k healing per game , sometime more kill than our dps ... and i was classed BRONZE 5 !!!! I dont understand this game... However, i really like your video, keep it up !
Did you do your placements right at launch? Apprntly there was a known bug where people got placed way lower than they were supposed too. Since Blizz was aiming for a Soft Reset. So they did fix this and apprntly you gain some bonus SR gains for wins if you were hit by this bug! Keep climbing I'm sure it will sort itself out real quick and TY!
Will you make a pro/advanced guide for Lucio and zen? For us who have played a lot but seek information about lucio’ never played him before but want to be good at him. I suck to wallclimb. Especially getting high fast! Thanks for the video 😊
Absolutely! I will be doing some Advanced stuff as well. A quick tip for wall riding upwards, move your crosshair up and you can actually get some big height distance
I feel like the heal and speed boost symbols on screen when your team is full health the healing bar should flash to let you know team is full and can switch to using speed
New player, gold support player 50 hours in, zen and Lucio main myself. YOU ARE MY NEW KOBE BRYANT OF OW2, can’t wait to keep learning from you and support your journey!
@@Artorigold me and my boys are former master/pred guys on apex… this is our new grind. Do you have a discord that involves serious players? Would love to join and learn!
@@Gundamjinni Sure! You could try discord.gg/scrimcentral This is a great place to scrim against other teams and other people looking for some serious competitive play
Hey man, great video. This actually inspired me and I'm about to pick up Lucio after dogging on him as a support. Didn't really realize how good he was. It's not all about the healing numbers after all. I love how you dogged on Reddit Lucio's because those irritate me so bad. Always in the backline and trying to get picks instead of SUPPORTING the team. As a SUPPORT. It is a form of support, but not focused around what his kit is built for. I subbed and look forward to anymore videos around Lucio you may make! Cheers!
Got a sub from me! I fell in love w lucio once my friends had me try support bc of his movement and ability to literally help all the teammates. Grinding hard to improve on him, this helps a ton!
i was that kind of lucio just shooting people thinking i was healing until i went to see info about it and i was like woah that makes lucio so much easier to play i was getting mad at my team8s like if you want me to heal you stand still for a second
thanks this helped a lot (coming from a first time fps player) (i def wanna play a lot of lucio but zen is also really cool so im looking forward for that video!!!1)
I like booping over extenders or ppl like that reaper into the middle of our team and having everyone focus them and then burn down the team lol I didn't know about the rollouts tho so that's something I'm gonna need more practice with
Do you think it's perfectly viable to play Lucio on payload? Or would you rather use a different support class better suited in that game mode? If yes, what would you suggest to us up and coming Lucio mains? Appreciate any response and a great vid btw!
Lucio is for sure S Tier right now and good in almost any situation. Currently Speed Boosting a Zarya/Reaper/Reinhardt has a HUGE impact in any map. The only time I would consider not picking Lucio is if you don't have a Main Healer. For example going Lucio when somebody is Locked into Zenyatta, would be a real lack of heals for your team. The best thing to practice would be your wallriding movement and then backwards wallriding, and then aiming while doing it!
I guess I’m one of these dumb players, but the text on Lucio is incredibly vague and it doesn’t state explicitly that the healing is passive and the number represents the players being healed. I literally had to pull up the scoreboard and watch the healing number go up so I could confirm this is how the healing worked. Same thing with the boop, it doesn’t state it does damage so I had to learn in game after getting a few kills with it.
Just subscribed just started playing ow2 and I like Lucio so I’ve been looking around to how I should play him thanks for the vid I’ll keep these tips in mind when I play
At 12:55 zarya uses ult on the bridge did you know that if you shoot her ult at the wall of the bridge over the gap you can actually pull the team to the wall and then when the ult ends they all fall to there deaths I do this all the time it's so satisfying
this is for sure the most helpful overwatch guide i have watched , so thank you so much . and i would love to see a zen guide as we’ll considering lucio and zen are also my mains. i do have a question. let’s say my team and i are at a choke just firing shots and poking. and obviously we are pretty idle while doing that, should i be going for the speed boost or heal boost? i think it’s the only question and problem i have. is the more idle moments , like what do i do?
Great question! Most of the time you want to speed boost past the choke and get moving, communicate in voice chat something like 3, 2, 1 Ok Speeding go. However there are some times when standing around at a choke and spamming Heal can be good, the purpose of doing that would to be building your Ultimate. There are a lot of cases where this can be good such as you know you will win the game if you just win one more fight, so you just farm for 6 Ultimates that you can all use at once for the win. However most of the time just speeding on the enemy is much better especially if you guys are running a Deathball comp with Reaper + Rein! Thanks for the comment I'm glad you enjoyed the vid!
It's for sure one of those things Pro Coaches in OWL go over a lot and there may be some older guides for OW1 on it, but nothing really for OW2 that I have seen. Playing the game more and more helps give you that feel for when people have it, and use your own teams ultimates as a resource to guess correctly is the best tldr I can give! Maybe I'll make a vid on it soon
At the beginning of every game, should I be speed boosting my teamates? I haven't been doing it as often because they tend to die quick and I need my boost to heal them, the other support on my team focuses on dpsing a lot idk why but please answer my question please and thank you :)
Thanks for the question! Always Speed Boost at the beginning if it is a Push or a King of the Hill map! If you are on a payload or hybrid then you can save the Amp for a heal boost when your team needs it!
Oh man theres a lot to say about this subject, so I've noticed the healing numbers on Lucio are a lot lower than they used to be as well. There is a pretty good reason for that, with one less tank to heal Lucio's numbers went way down. Being able to heal 6 people at once including a 2nd tank gave him a lot more on the stat side.. However I don't think Healing is everything, especially for Lucio. In OW2 while his healing is pretty good, his BIGGEST strength is the Speed Boost. A lot of the CC abilities were taken out of the game such as Flashbang, Mei's Left Click Freeze, Brig Stun, etc etc. Meaning the Speed is even more powerful than it ever used to be with no way to counter it. So in my head sure you can just try to stay behind your tank and Heal Boost more, but the reality is the Speed Boost is INSANE. So yeah heroes like Moira are going to top the charts every game, thats just how their kits work, however your utility with Speed Boost is something nobody else can do and currently it's very broken to Pocket Speed Boost Rein or JK or any Tank really so they can do literally whatever they want to the enemy team. If you really want to heal more as Lucio, position yourself in the middle of your team, behind your tanks with your other support nearby, and really just Wall Ride less, since that causes your Aura to usually get less people. Then just wait until your Allies are starting to take damage and Heal Boost off CD and never try to do a whole lot of damage. That is the Healbot way for Lucio, but currently I think it's better to just be Speed Boosting as much as possible, it's just so OP. Just don't let the Healing Numbers get to you!
It's for sure more difficult to Boop people in OW2 than it ever was, since the Tank players who use to be the easiest to Boop imo, are now almost completely unaffected from it due to their new passive. Best way to practice the range would be against some Bots in Practice Mode. Also try to single out the Heroes with no mobility!
Very cool. I'm a new player and support is what I like. Want to get better with Lucio and Brig. Lucio takes a lot of getting used to with just getting better at running around the map more efficiently. Brig is fun, but challenging because she has to get close and some of these teams are so tough to play with and don't push.
Brig is def a interesting Hero right now, she used to be insanely busted, but now since they removed her stun and instead gave her Bash a ton of movement, I'm still playing her often to figure out how to play her best. She used to be so strong that on Day 1 of her Release I actually played her on a Fresh new account and went 34-0 on her in Ranked and hit like 4100 GrandMaster lmao. Currently I think she is a very good hero on Push maps and King of the Hill . I'll have to do a vid on her soon!
Look I know it seems simple but if you read that hero information you’re referring to it doesn’t specify damage or status effects and could easily be I understood either way
I do! However most people suggest to use something else such as mouse wheel scroll. For me it just feels right for Space Bar. Try both to see which one works for you or maybe another hot key entirely?
@@Artorigold I swapped to right click a while ago but I still press space in hectic situations so I might switch back. Never got used to using mwheel to jump even in other games so I think sb is where it's at
Zenyatta is one of my favorite heroes but yeah he is just made of glass and his hitbox is super easy to hit. However if you stay alive with Zen he PUMPS damage!
I came to this because Moira just ain’t it. She’s my favorite character but I win more with other supports. So I wanna try to master either Lucio or bap. I put up amazing numbers with Moira. Great damage,even more healing, and rarely even die, but I think that’s when the utility kicks in
The concept is Peeling, so just like you would peel a sticker off a piece of fruit, you want to peel the enemy off your other support. Lucio is one of the best at Peeling, since he can Boop the enemy away and Speed your ally to safety. Depending on how badly they are diving your other support, Peeling becomes increasingly better for your strategy!
Look I'm not the best player most of the time I play to have fun and I hover between silver 1 and gold 5 I'm not aiming to be a plat or whatever but I do want to play Lucio better and I keep getting games where I might be 6 for 6 or 10 for 10 and I feel like I just trading or I have to sit and heal which in the end gets me killed because of slower mobility, I don't know what I'm doing wrong and would love some actual advice because I really like Lucio and want to enjoy playing him. Is it a case of my ELO he just not being viable? If the other support isn't healing I feel like I have to switch off if him and it doesn't help when team goes everywhere and don't stay tight otherwise my healing feels wasted. I'm sick of trading and I'm getting very frustrated. I want to have fun with him, he is just so cool. Please just some friendly advice I'm not looking to be the best but seeing me be equal in eliminations it deaths is upsetting and I'm at a point where I'm turning my chat off because I sick of being told I have to effectively heal bot or my healing is low when the team isn't even together. I just feel so depressed about not being able to enjoy characters I like 😔 I mainly play Mercy and Kiriko and really want to feel like I can play Lucio as an equal to them.
I'm glad you enjoy Lucio he is for sure really good for climbing, but like I said in my most recent Tier List video, every rank is played differently in order to climb. At higher ELO like Masters+ you get teammates that know how to utilize the Speed Boost very well. At lower ranks it has less effectiveness. For climbing to diamond you should focus on three things, Peeling, Securing kills, and Speeding the Tank. Peeling is something nobody ever does so always focus on keeping your other Support alive, and when looking to Amp Speed, use it on your tank and try to commit to kill low HP targets. Hopefully this helps, and if Lucio isn't working Kiriko is always solid for climbing!
@@Artorigold thanks man, I appreciate the comment, I think I was putting too kuch focus on trying to kill what I saw. It's not easy admitting when your playing bad but I sure feel like I've been playing bad! I just want to be competent and have fun! I only came in with OW2 so things like peeling are new to me and I'm excited to try and implement, my mate and I both run support so we have good communication together.
@@JustinLee-fj3nd I totally get it man, bo worries just keep grinding and you'll climb for sure! Just getting in as many games as possible helps a lot, and as long as you have a 51% win rate you climb guaranteed!
@@Artorigold I'm trying to be better Lucio player but it's so fucking hard on controller to jump and move around like on PC...it's like whole different game

Glad to hear it! Lucio is one of my all time favorites so it's cool to see so many other people picking him up!
if you can, can you do an advance lucio tip and trick now
Very helpful guide
thx ❤️🙏🏼
Underrated asf bro
At 12:55 zarya uses ult on the bridge did you know that if you shoot her ult at the wall of the bridge over the gap you can actually pull the team to the wall and then when the ult ends they all fall to there deaths I do this all the time it's so satisfying
epic guide, you're a legend!
Great video
pls do more lucio rollouts if u have time thank you
this is for sure the most helpful overwatch guide i have watched , so thank you so much . and i would love to see a zen guide as we’ll considering lucio and zen are also my mains. i do have a question. let’s say my team and i are at a choke just firing shots and poking. and obviously we are pretty idle while doing that, should i be going for the speed boost or heal boost? i think it’s the only question and problem i have. is the more idle moments , like what do i do?
Great question! Most of the time you want to speed boost past the choke and get moving, communicate in voice chat something like 3, 2, 1 Ok Speeding go. However there are some times when standing around at a choke and spamming Heal can be good, the purpose of doing that would to be building your Ultimate. There are a lot of cases where this can be good such as you know you will win the game if you just win one more fight, so you just farm for 6 Ultimates that you can all use at once for the win. However most of the time just speeding on the enemy is much better especially if you guys are running a Deathball comp with Reaper + Rein! Thanks for the comment I'm glad you enjoyed the vid!
the lucio was me
Lmao no shot! Your the Lucio from the Shroud clip?!?!
@@Artorigold haha, no! Me and that player has the same game IQ ! 😂
@@indolentAF OHHH LMAO
Awesome guide! What program are you using to annotate?
A free program called Epic Pen it's pretty useful!
Most of the time when junker queen ults, I usually boop them away, because the rush is bad. Is that a good use of boop?
Booping a JK right before her ult goes off can really mess it up so it's good. However it also puts you in harms way so it is a bit risky!
Thanks man
Lucio is the best!
Is there more examples or guides out there for ‘ultimate tracking?’ I’m a support and would love to start doing this.
It's for sure one of those things Pro Coaches in OWL go over a lot and there may be some older guides for OW1 on it, but nothing really for OW2 that I have seen. Playing the game more and more helps give you that feel for when people have it, and use your own teams ultimates as a resource to guess correctly is the best tldr I can give! Maybe I'll make a vid on it soon
W guide
What program do you use to draw on the screen is that just built I to vlc player?
It's called Epic Pen, its free to use!
@@Artorigold thank you so much!
At the beginning of every game, should I be speed boosting my teamates? I haven't been doing it as often because they tend to die quick and I need my boost to heal them, the other support on my team focuses on dpsing a lot idk why but please answer my question please and thank you :)
Thanks for the question! Always Speed Boost at the beginning if it is a Push or a King of the Hill map! If you are on a payload or hybrid then you can save the Amp for a heal boost when your team needs it!
Not the one piece wano theme in the background lol
Lmao I had to throw it in there
Great video. Do you think you can do a Mercy video?
Will do!
So the number in the middle shows how many people are in your aura thing?
That's right!
@@Artorigold i thought it was like how many wall jumps u have left haha. Thanks for letting me know. I enjoy lucio but he's tricky too play.
Let’s see more lucio
I get flamed a lot for not having a ton of healing on lucio, it kind of tilts me do u have any advice on that?
Oh man theres a lot to say about this subject, so I've noticed the healing numbers on Lucio are a lot lower than they used to be as well. There is a pretty good reason for that, with one less tank to heal Lucio's numbers went way down. Being able to heal 6 people at once including a 2nd tank gave him a lot more on the stat side.. However I don't think Healing is everything, especially for Lucio. In OW2 while his healing is pretty good, his BIGGEST strength is the Speed Boost. A lot of the CC abilities were taken out of the game such as Flashbang, Mei's Left Click Freeze, Brig Stun, etc etc. Meaning the Speed is even more powerful than it ever used to be with no way to counter it. So in my head sure you can just try to stay behind your tank and Heal Boost more, but the reality is the Speed Boost is INSANE. So yeah heroes like Moira are going to top the charts every game, thats just how their kits work, however your utility with Speed Boost is something nobody else can do and currently it's very broken to Pocket Speed Boost Rein or JK or any Tank really so they can do literally whatever they want to the enemy team. If you really want to heal more as Lucio, position yourself in the middle of your team, behind your tanks with your other support nearby, and really just Wall Ride less, since that causes your Aura to usually get less people. Then just wait until your Allies are starting to take damage and Heal Boost off CD and never try to do a whole lot of damage. That is the Healbot way for Lucio, but currently I think it's better to just be Speed Boosting as much as possible, it's just so OP. Just don't let the Healing Numbers get to you!
@@Artorigold Thanks dude!
I’ve played OverWatch for years and when I play support I main Lucio but I never Boop people off the map. Is the a way to gauge the Boop range better?
It's for sure more difficult to Boop people in OW2 than it ever was, since the Tank players who use to be the easiest to Boop imo, are now almost completely unaffected from it due to their new passive. Best way to practice the range would be against some Bots in Practice Mode. Also try to single out the Heroes with no mobility!
@@Artorigold okay thank you, I appreciate the tips
Very cool. I'm a new player and support is what I like. Want to get better with Lucio and Brig. Lucio takes a lot of getting used to with just getting better at running around the map more efficiently. Brig is fun, but challenging because she has to get close and some of these teams are so tough to play with and don't push.
Brig is def a interesting Hero right now, she used to be insanely busted, but now since they removed her stun and instead gave her Bash a ton of movement, I'm still playing her often to figure out how to play her best. She used to be so strong that on Day 1 of her Release I actually played her on a Fresh new account and went 34-0 on her in Ranked and hit like 4100 GrandMaster lmao. Currently I think she is a very good hero on Push maps and King of the Hill . I'll have to do a vid on her soon!
Zen mains are beyond cool
Look I know it seems simple but if you read that hero information you’re referring to it doesn’t specify damage or status effects and could easily be I understood either way
what are you suing to watch this back plus draw on the screen like that
I'm using VLC and Epic Pen!
What’s your reticle and stuff for Lucio??
This guy is pretty dope
do you actually use space bar to jump?
I do! However most people suggest to use something else such as mouse wheel scroll. For me it just feels right for Space Bar. Try both to see which one works for you or maybe another hot key entirely?
@@Artorigold I swapped to right click a while ago but I still press space in hectic situations so I might switch back. Never got used to using mwheel to jump even in other games so I think sb is where it's at
I love Lucio because I almost never need support as he’s just so dang quick. Zen on the other hand.. sheesh.
Zenyatta is one of my favorite heroes but yeah he is just made of glass and his hitbox is super easy to hit. However if you stay alive with Zen he PUMPS damage!
Could u do a moira game next?
I came to this because Moira just ain’t it. She’s my favorite character but I win more with other supports. So I wanna try to master either Lucio or bap. I put up amazing numbers with Moira. Great damage,even more healing, and rarely even die, but I think that’s when the utility kicks in
Welcome to the Lucio side brother
What is Pealing?? Peer healing ?
The concept is Peeling, so just like you would peel a sticker off a piece of fruit, you want to peel the enemy off your other support. Lucio is one of the best at Peeling, since he can Boop the enemy away and Speed your ally to safety. Depending on how badly they are diving your other support, Peeling becomes increasingly better for your strategy!
@@Artorigold Hm ok🫡
No way this is top500 gameplay
When we Qing?
ASAP bro lets get it!
The elusive “non-reddit” lucio in its natural habitat, fascinating.
haha...boop...
Look I'm not the best player most of the time I play to have fun and I hover between silver 1 and gold 5 I'm not aiming to be a plat or whatever but I do want to play Lucio better and I keep getting games where I might be 6 for 6 or 10 for 10 and I feel like I just trading or I have to sit and heal which in the end gets me killed because of slower mobility, I don't know what I'm doing wrong and would love some actual advice because I really like Lucio and want to enjoy playing him. Is it a case of my ELO he just not being viable? If the other support isn't healing I feel like I have to switch off if him and it doesn't help when team goes everywhere and don't stay tight otherwise my healing feels wasted. I'm sick of trading and I'm getting very frustrated. I want to have fun with him, he is just so cool. Please just some friendly advice I'm not looking to be the best but seeing me be equal in eliminations it deaths is upsetting and I'm at a point where I'm turning my chat off because I sick of being told I have to effectively heal bot or my healing is low when the team isn't even together. I just feel so depressed about not being able to enjoy characters I like 😔 I mainly play Mercy and Kiriko and really want to feel like I can play Lucio as an equal to them.
I'm glad you enjoy Lucio he is for sure really good for climbing, but like I said in my most recent Tier List video, every rank is played differently in order to climb. At higher ELO like Masters+ you get teammates that know how to utilize the Speed Boost very well. At lower ranks it has less effectiveness. For climbing to diamond you should focus on three things, Peeling, Securing kills, and Speeding the Tank. Peeling is something nobody ever does so always focus on keeping your other Support alive, and when looking to Amp Speed, use it on your tank and try to commit to kill low HP targets. Hopefully this helps, and if Lucio isn't working Kiriko is always solid for climbing!
@@Artorigold thanks man, I appreciate the comment, I think I was putting too kuch focus on trying to kill what I saw. It's not easy admitting when your playing bad but I sure feel like I've been playing bad! I just want to be competent and have fun! I only came in with OW2 so things like peeling are new to me and I'm excited to try and implement, my mate and I both run support so we have good communication together.
@@JustinLee-fj3nd I totally get it man, bo worries just keep grinding and you'll climb for sure! Just getting in as many games as possible helps a lot, and as long as you have a 51% win rate you climb guaranteed!
@@Artorigold thanks so much mate your positivity made my day !
It's soo much easier on mouse and keyboard than on controller
I know right!
@@Artorigold I'm trying to be better Lucio player but it's so fucking hard on controller to jump and move around like on PC...it's like whole different game
Not unless u have paddles. I have a scuff controller so its easy for me to stay on walls and not get off my thumbsticks to move around
Great video
TY!
