We (main healers) need a response! - Overwatch Forums

What it looks like to us is:

--Zen places fine
--Ana places fine
--Mercy places low (fix in flight)
--Lucio places really low (fix in flight)

There were other heroes (non-support) who were placing too high and too low... and there are fixes in flight for these as well.

He uses the phrase "fix in flight" which makes me think it's still not fixed yet though. :weird:

Yea but there is no such thing as a pure Lucio main who solo queues in the top 500 either. If you're going to main Lucio, you more or less have to run in a 3 man minimum with top 50 dps players. At that point you can definitely contribute.

Think of it like this: The best Lucio in the world (forget about ratings) compared to the 500th best Lucio is a tiny relative difference. Its basically a split second small ult and speed boost timing differences, such that it might make a statistical difference once every say two hours of play (a teamfight might change from a win to a loss as a counterfactual).

Now the difference between the 500th best McCree and the number 1 McCree in the world is so enormous that it's not even the same game.

The rule of thumb last season for ranked in solo queue was you wanted your team to optimize the following way as an example of a typical team comp.
1) McCree
2) Genji/Tracer
3) Zarya
4) Zen
5) Reinhart/Winston
6) Lucio

So if the best McCree player was also the best Genji, he/she should pick McCree. And so on down the line. A few switches were necessary if a player couldn't play a certain character well, but the point is you wanted to maximize relative ranking difference.

Meanwhile the team comp that you knew was an instant loss was when say the two rank 80s on your team both play Reinhart and Lucio. That's terrible, b/c now your dps are going to be like lvl 60, and the enemy teams are going to be like rank 75+ It was just a bad optimization of value.

i think you're big time wrong with this. mechanically that's probably correct, but lucio is in the best position to be a shotcaller in the game and the shotcallers are the most important player(s) on the team imo. the game is all about smart engagements/disengagements.

Definitely agree that having a great shotcaller is enormous and makes a huge difference over all. But yea it doesn't have to be Lucio. Reinhart or the secondary healer works almost as well.

I played most of my games in the low 70 bracket in season 1, and it was relatively rare to have voice com support. It was great when it was available, but most of the games played basically just like in quick play, read without much strat. So I'd argue that from a pure min/max perspective, my statement holds.

I'd say that shotcalling and the crucial Tank/Support play is far more important in real competitive play rather than in ranked play. Ranked play was all about having eg the best Genji or slayer character kill everyone.. In tournament play, characters like Genji are mostly neutralized by team coordination eg Reinhart ult or support ult timing, whereas that was usually not coordinated that much in ranked.

I'm probably wrong, but it just doesn't strike me as a good proposition to play a character that is at the mercy of how good his teammates are.
 
I thought denty was banned...

His nonsensical dribble while occasionally amusing is starting to get tiresome.
