10 Best Overwatch Characters - Ranked

Backstory: Lúcio is a solid mix between Daft Punk and Jet Set Radio. He’s a cool as ice, rollerskating DJ with music so powerful that it can literally move you. He’s also a major celebrity in-game, and this is occasionally played upon for some fantastic character interaction. The music that he plays whilst fighting can even give a legitimate real world morale boost to your team. In a game full of bright, unique characters, Lúcio arguably tops the list. 10/10

Abilities: Lúcio can switch between two (legitimately well composed) tunes on the fly, one that heals nearby allies, and one that speeds them up. He can easily lead a group of players back in to the fight from the spawn far quicker than they could have on their own. He can also temporarily increase the effects of either song with “Amp It Up”. A sound-wave can be launched from his gun, knocking enemies back with more efficiency than the majority of Roadhog ults.

Lúcio’s ult provides a huge health shields, whilst still providing the standard effects of his songs. 9/10

Design: Lúcio’s standard design is as close to perfection as you can get, with bright, vibrant colours that nod to his country of origin, whilst also looking both practical and stylish in battle. His other skins let him down however. They’re not bad, by any means, they’re just a little unimaginative. It would be great to see Lúcio get a few more event skins. 8/10

Score: 9/10
