JUMP PADS AND WALL RIDING
Overwatch: LUCIOBALL TIPS AND TRICKS
This one seems obvious, but a surprising number of Lucioball players seem to forget that using the jump pads and wall riding to get around the arena is an absolute no-brainer in becoming a better Lucioball player. Getting a goal is all about placement in front of the ball, and getting to that ideal placemen as quickly as possible. Lucio does have his amp it up ability for speed, but its high cooldown means the majority of the time you will be moving relatively slowly, so the jump pads and curved arena walls were included to make up for that.
You do have to remember that using the jump pad or wall riding to the end of the arena isn’t always the best bet. Say for example an enemy player is coming up center field and you jump on a pad to meet him, if he happens to stick closer to the ground and amp it up to get away, you’re stuck flying over his head in the wrong direction, becoming useless in defense for your team.
The best time to use the jump pads or wall ride is when the ball has just left your own goal and is soaring towards the enemy side of the field. Chances are a few of the enemy players would still be on your side of the arena trying to play offensively, so beating them to their net and 1v1ing the goalie is your best bet at an easy goal.
