So my school materials would be deleted also . <| sep |> What ' s your MBTI type ? <| sep |> Yes mercy can heal 120 damage in 2 seconds but lets say you have 5 teammates all taking damage at once . Then they will be taking more than Lucio can heal . Even if you were playing against a team of 6 Meis and you were using Amp It Up , that is a deficit of 45 health per second on your team , assuming Mei never used her secondary fire , which does way more damage than her primary . Throw in a Soldier , who can sustain 125 damage per second if you factor reload time . That is excluding Helix Rocket , which can frontload 120 damage instantly . This , along with the fact that he can defend himself much easier than Mercy can , is why he ' s a better healer . That makes him a more valuable support , which is not what I am questioning . He is an objectively worse healer , and people need to learn to not pick him for his healing . Unless their Pharah is direct hitting every rocket , I ' d prefer a Lucio solo heal to a Mercy or Ana any day . Pharah is not the only one dealing 120 per hit , and she is not even close to the highest dps . Soldier is hitscan and currently putting out way more dps , way more reliably than Pharah . If Soldier hits one bullet per second , he outdpses Lucio ' s normal heal by 7 . 5 sec . He fires 10 bullets per second . I like to live , so I would prefer a healer who can heal .
