DON’T GO OUT TO MEET THE BALL AS GOALIE
OVERWATCH: LUCIOBALL TIPS AND TRICKS
There are a few ways for a goalie to be more successful in Lucioball. These include (almost) always pointing your gun in an upwards position so you can boop the ball away properly, making proper use of the jump pad in the actual net so you can use the top of the net to stop you from jumping widely, and waiting to use your ult until it is safe to step away from the net.
However, the most important tip for a goalie is to no step too far out of the net to meet a ball. Instead, let the ball come to you so you can better aim it away without sacrificing your position. There’s nothing worse then leaving the net even by a few feet to shoot the ball away and messing up the angle, leaving an enemy offense player some space to push in while you wait on your cooldowns to get a close, easy goal.
Being the goalie is also the role in which you have to be the most aware of your boop cooldown. When you have enemy players near your goal pressuring you, timing that boop can mean the difference between an easy goal against you and launching the ball across the entire field to free yourself from danger. Keep track of when the enemy player have used their boops, and try to use yours after them if possible. This will ensure you are never left vulnerable, and any aggressive shot can be immediately countered.
