Too bad Mine is own tempo ruins it for me , don ' t use him too much but he ' s still a level 50 on my team . <| sep |> No , but at it ' s base it is an fps game . Half of the healers were not designed to appeal to the players that are attracted to fps games . Or rather in Lucio ' s case he WAS originally a pretty strong duelist but it got nerfed , and kept getting nerfed until he is this bland character . No more good damage , no more good heals , speed got nerfed . He has been watered down from his original design without any compensatory buffs . In any case , for lucio wallriding is not always possible or ideal so his fun ability is not being used as often as Ana ' s or Zen ' s . Unlike ANY of the other healers he doesn ' t get direct feedback from healing . His gun is so slowspammy it ' s not that good for intentional dueling . Wallriding is more interaction with environment rather than enemies or teammates in a way . Overall , Lucio has a very low skill floor that anyone can be useful playing him , but playing him well at higher skill is only satisfying for a very niche group . Considering that his abilities are so dang useful in a variety of situations , you don ' t think it ' s a bad thing that people feel they are stuck playing him because boring ?
