Why do people pick Mercy over Lucio, /v/? It's obvious that Lucio is by far the better support. Seeing a Mercy put out more than 8-9k healing is very rare, whereas Lucios can typically put out 12k or more regularly.

Not to mention you don't have to baby sit a Lucio, he can speedboost his entire team to points, and he has amazing survivability. The only excuse you have to every pick Mercy is if the team already has a Lucio.

I agree but it depends who else is on the team, I find. Mercy's right click attack boost is mental on a Bastion. I've turned around so many games just as we're about to lose by doing that.

Mercy is better with a group

>>339199487
Mercy is good if you need focused healing on one person, mostly a tank. You can build up your ult quickly if your tank is smart enough to let himself eat bits of damage regularly so you have something to heal. A lot of lucio's healing is going to come from squishies that don't know where the health packs are. I do end up playing him a lot more than Mercy though.

If your team knows how to run back to the healer before they die, play Mercy.

If they don't, play Lucio.

It's really that simple.

>>339199487
Literally just the ult
Lucio's shields are awesome and probably essential for pushing but Mercy can turn a 6v6 into a 6v10 with a good ult

Right now my current mind set is:
Lucio: Attack and KOTH
Mercy: Defense

>Why do people pick Mercy over Lucio, /v/?
Because Lucio by himself will not heal through a coordinated team bursting down one of your members. Mercy's burst heal will counteract and focus fire from the enemy team.

Realistically, most teams will run Mercy + Lucio unless they're meming.

Basically, stop playing with scrubs

Zarya's default look is disgusting, but what kills her appearance for me is that her hair color. Never. Fucking. Changes. In any of the alts. Blizzard knew exactly what they were doing with that shit, and they can fuck themselves with a rake. The thing is, she wouldn't even look terrible with black, brown, or blonde hair. The only thing worse is that the costumes that DO change her hair makes it even fucking worse.

But Lucio is far from the worst looking heros, especially when you remember that D.Va and Poo in Loo also exist.

chipmunk cheek gook with the most obnoxious eye-cancer color scheme in the entire roster on both her and her mech, and her mech's design is absolutely horrendous. Junker alt makes her look okay, but then you still have to deal with her grating voice and obnoxious schtick.

Lucio is fun as fuck, my favorite character by far. His voice and music get you pumped up, riding on walls is cool, and he can dish out pretty good damage, even as suppressing fire. Also he's distracting as hell for your enemies.
The healing is pretty good, but the speed boost is insane.
Playing him with friends and choosing when to switch passives and to activate your boost feels rewarding.

Mercy feels more like a babysitter - I mained medic in TF2 and thought I would love her, but I found her gameplay dull.
>>
Can I change Lucio's music to my own somehow? I know he just has two songs, but I'm pretty sure they are both only 10s long at most.

Nope. They both have movement abilities. Lucio has wall ride.

>>339211849

If you happen to end up in the air anyway, buffering your descent is a decent way to avoid taking some damage. If she could just dash up into the air without having to look at someone like Pharah then it'd be more useful but right now it only matters if you're leaping off ledges.
>>
I'm just here to remind all of you shitters that Lucio can speed up payload objectives.

>>339212230

This is false, or if it's true it's so minuscule it's not even noticeable.

A lot of Lucio's healing is dependent on your team to not be retarded. If they get themselves killed they won't stay alive long enough to be healed. This is why Mercy is useful for burst spot heals.

In general, stick with who you think will be on the objective the most. The AoE range gives you flexibility to stay mobile, but don't venture out so far that you're not healing them. If there's a Reinhardt on your team, stay with him the entire game.

Depends on your team and who you are playing against. If your team is just killing themselves then there is nothing to heal, if they are actually really good or the other team is shit then there is nothing to heal.

Also tend to find that Junkrat does a lot of damage that doesn't always kill so you get lots of healing from that.
>>
>>339213904
By the way, about my low average I play a lot with a premade and sometimes we just absolutely roll teams, so I barely have time to get more than 2-3k healing. In pubs I'm typically having to shit out 8k at the very least.

I did not at that time, but I just decided to test it out.

I did two solo matches on Gibraltar. Once as Lucio, one as Mercy. On Lucio I kept myself in health mode until I touched the payload, then switched into speed and amped every single time it was off cooldown while riding on top of it. As Mercy I just jump on top and rode it there. Both times it took 3:18 for the match to go all the way through. So Lucio does NOT speed up the payload, unless there's some additional requirement involved like speeding up other people around the payload.

On a side note, by the end of the match Lucio was at about 50% ult having done nothing but ride a payload while Mercy was at 100%, so Mercy also confirmed to build up ult faster even without healing people.

Being a healer is stressful as fuck, especially when you didn't want to be one

What if it doesn't apply to the situation at hand, and wouldn't benefit for him to switch since there would now be two healers instead of a core damage or tank?
Ever think about that? Of course not. You just rehash shitty arguments used by others from the looks of it.
>>
Lucio works best for teams that will be close together so if you have reinhardt or you are attacking/on a Koth map he is the better choice but mercy tends to be better on defense as she can heal a split up team better then lucio and give bastion even more damage and her ult is better
>>
>>339199487
Because Lucio has shit legendaries
>>
>>339213797
That's okay, its relevance is limited anyway.

Not to say it doesn't have any use, but it's not like you can use it to run up a building like genji can.
This vid was a pretty creative use of it, but the team could have also turned a bit to their left and he would have been a smear on the wall instead.

you are right but mercy can be better in certain situations. the superior single target healing and having a damage buff makes pushing easier.

Because Mercy can fly when there's a Pharah on your team.

He's like number one or two ranked hero everywhere period. They're gonna nerf him through the floor.

Better start practicing Zen now so you'll be ready for his buff.

I got no thanks or a card, but I think I played a role in this victory. Lucio is awesome.

But Mercy is very fun as well, if your team behaves, which admittedly does not happen often, it's so great to fly around and keep everybody at full health

I don't think I wouldn't have had as much fun with Lucio in this situation. We didn't win because of my ressurect, but our guys could continue to contest the point. We only won because we had a great Symmetra whose teleporter secured our position.

Wow, I agreed with everything up until you said that. If your team already has a support hero, DON'T PLAY SUPPORT. I don't care how pretty you think your new Mercy skin is, you'll be fucking useless if the team already has support.

You're a fucking moron. Both Mercy and Lucio have enough utility to be useful above and beyond their healing, and Mercy is absolutely needed for spot heals that Lucio can't handle depending on how good the other team is.

I had a all lucio team as a joke once and it was kind of insane

Also there is use for both on 1 team mercy tends to be better at healing flankers and people who will be away from the team and objective harassing the enemy team, Killing the enemy tanks and all around holding them back from contesting the objective while lucio is best at healing people on the objective

And on defence mercy tends to be better as grouping up tends to be a bad idea on alot of defenses

I didn't believe the Lucio hype at first, always ran Mercy. Had a few matches where I didn't do so well, said "why not" and tried Lucio.

Carried my team 3 games in a row. This negro is fucking amazing when you have a decent team that you can consistently group heal.

Definitely my preferred support now.

Almost every Mercy I've seen is terrible. Usually I don't even know where they are. I play Mercy a lot and on average you get about 7-9k depending on the length of the match and the team. 15+ is definitely not the standard. The damage boost is really helpful though, especially when boosting Pharah or Bastion, a lot of times I get badges for just kill participation.

Lucio on some maps is practically another combat unit and a healer at the same time.

So is Zenyatta but due to his AOE heals and Speed he easily outdoes those shitty orbs.

His ult pretty much does what Zenyatta does, except with the entire party.

Mercy can't really defend herself well at all.

The other two healers really can't compete.

Another huge advantage vs really skilled players is he is the only one with not foot step sounds (every other class has there own unique foot step sounds only zenyatta is quiet) so he is good at stealth

A better question is why is the game so unbalanced in terms of classes that it forces you to pick a specific support, attack, tank, or defender role over others? I get that a lot of the shit is situational but what I see over and over again is certain characters being overall ineffective as the class they are.

I havent even played the game but have been growing interest in it so I've been frequenting the threads and I see this complaint all the time. I mentioned to my buddy who picked up the game that I know he likes healer classes in these games and was betting he loved playing as Mercy. He told me if he heals he has to go Lucio because of the way others play.

Lucio is a better pick than Mercy if you have a decent to good team.

Mercy is probably better with a shit team because they're not going to stay alive long enough with just the aura. Worst case you can use resurrect to just keep throwing bodies at the enemy team and pray they kill something.
>>
I love it when I play a match as Lucio and some faggot picks Symmiez or Mercy. Congrats on being a special snowflake while my heals and speed outclass literally everything you do.
>>
Lucio's English voice sounds so off. It doesn't match his appearance at all. He doesn't even sound Brazilian.
>>
>>339226721
It's the opposite actually, a bad team won't be able to put the damage boost to use since they suck so bad, and you're going to die constantly getting targeted because you're the mercy and your sucky team won't protect you. Lucio is much better for shitter teams since you can do some dmg of your own and look after yourself using speed, not to mention healing multiple people at once.

>>339199487

I like Lucio, but I feel like I get more work done as Mercy, I also have a pharah friend I pocket and I feel pocketing someone as Mercy is preferential because her damage boost is incredible if used properly. You should always try to keep your teammates alive, but a pharah + Mercy combo is very potent. When I'm lucio it feels like I just don't have the healing for big damage unless I have his ult. I think to really make the most out of Mercy you need to be aggressive with your damage boost.

>>339229013

also if your teammates are spread right mercy has way more survivability with the low cooldown jumps and unpredictability in which way she flies.

That'd be bad actually, you want to drop quickly sometimes so you dont get sniped. You can also alternate the slowfall to mess up people attacking you. You'd be a sitting duck if you fell slowly all the time.
