And that’s exactly how I play him as well. I truly think more people need to give it a try. He can have really solid healing out put. If all 5 teammates are critical and around lucio he can get 750 healing in 3 seconds. No other healer is able to do that from just one ability.
But my argument to that is what’s the difference between me being a GM lucio who’s healing and me being a GM lucio who speeds. If we are winning either way it shouldn’t matter.
