The stats don’t lie, Lucio is Overwatch’s most valuable hero
QUOTE
The data exposes some interesting things about the state of Overwatch’s meta shortly after launch, like how the different heroes stack up against one another. For example, Symmetra is currently sitting pretty with the highest overall winrate at 61.7%, but is also the least picked of any hero. Meanwhile Mercy is bringing up the rear with a 48% winrate, despite being the most-picked hero in the game—followed closely in popularity by Lucio who, as mentioned, is near or at the top of pretty much every column.
Seriously, Lucio is statistically one of the best heroes in Overwatch. It isn't a secret that Lucio is a valuable pick on almost any team, but these stats clearly show just how influential he can be. He has the highest score per minute (probably because he’s able to heal multiple characters at once and contribute some damage), the third highest winrate, and is the second most popular character globally—which jumps to the most popular for PS4 players.
Haha yea slightly < 0.5 sec for crates to shatter, but atking enemy was alright. i always see ppl spamming xxx wants to attack the objective point, xxx wants to defend the payload, how do they do that?
1) it block damage from outside, but what if i use melee outside to hit target inside? 2) what if enemy went in and shoot winston inside? 3) what if enemy went in and shoot winston outside his barrier?
if u run into his shield bubble, u can hit him melee/shoot i think u can shoot winston from within the barrier while he is outside, but the barrier wont protect you.
i think the barrier is so enemies cannot hit him from far, so have to go into the barrier to fight him, where he has the advantage. but then again, its quite easy to crack it
