While I'm on the subject of Lucio, I discovered Reason #392 to love him last night:

When smarmy Roadhogs chain you into the pit, it's fun to imagine what their faces look like when they see your beat boxing rear end wall running back out of the pit. :smugbert:

Oh that's right, Reaper has that "What a CODBLOPS character named Reyes would look like" skin. Same voice thing as S76, shame they didn't have him voiced by Luis Guzman or Benicio Del Toro for it.

Comedy option naturally being John Leguizamo reprising his Chi Chi Rodriguez role.

gently caress I forgot something for Reaper!

You can animation cancel out of your reload by doing a melee attack as soon as he drops his shotguns. This ends up being about as fast as reloading normally, but with a melee attack, so make it a reflex and you can still damage someone at close range (which you should be at, since Reaper) while recharging your death sticks.

Ok that's it.

The best part about Reaper's Blackwatch skin is that of course he has a loving goatee under that skull mask :allears:

Lucio knows the pain of seeing people climb out of pits all too well.

Some new tracers don't realize you can recall from out-of-bounds though.

Bastion automatically reloads his Gatling gun when switching out of turret mode. If you're playing him like a shoot and scoot character it's good to know because you can just dump a full mag and then leave. When you set up elsewhere you have a full mag again!

Lucio having 400 hp is really dumb and I love him.

But seriously who thought it was a good idea to have the aoe healer who runs around like Roadrunner have more hp than all but 3(?) characters in the game?

Lucio is also great for shoving people into pits and off cliffs. I love camping the King of the Hill maps that have doors with narrow ledges next to them. Anybody trying to use that door just gets blasted off the map. I even got play of the game for it one time by killing multiple people that way.

Brawl is hilarious because pharah can permanently stay in the air at max height during it. One finger one l2, the other tapping l1, and fire away.

Also people are surpisingly decent at this game. Beta did its' job i think.

You still have the frequent pug with a rank 3-8 widow that keeps trying to cqc people and never snipes (or kills) anyone; the bastion standing at the most easily sniped position and continuously going back to it in spite of 30 deaths or the very noticeable "It's high n- blargh" but yeah.... the skill level is actually very surprising

So how do I actually do things with bouncy shot as Hanzo? Shoot it at the person? Their feet? I've been trying to tag people around corners with it and it's not doing anything.

The benefit of solo queue is getting in and out of matches quite quickly and without commitment, but the downside is you have to (so far, maybe the population will wise up eventually) play with people who don't seem to understand that the payload doesn't magically move by itself and you have stand next to it to make it move and that it also heals you.

Yeah, shoot at their feet. Or practice your vector mathematics to figure out the precise angle needed to launch it around corners.
Seriously though, it's a good finisher for someone you wound in a fight and they try to flee around a corner/down a highway.

Also a good 'oh poo poo' button against tanks. You'll get into the habit of 1v1 tanks at short range and winning IF you practice with the bouncy shot.

But specifically hit the ground in front of there feet, the closer to them without hitting them you are the better.

How on earth is one to counter a pro Tracer? I've been on both teams now - in one, the other 5 of us hardly saw an enemy and the enemy team just spent the time chatting with us from spawn or getting picked off after stepping out. On the other, my blood pressure felt dangerously elevated.

I can counter them as a McCree perhaps once or twice until they wise up, then they git gud before my very eyes and it's back to square one.

It's definitely a certain range, and not really all that big of one. I don't think it requires LoS, though. The "X Teammates Dead" indicator that shows up on Mercy's HUD when she has ult is the number of dead teammates in range, not the total number of dead teammates.
