The Overwatch Public Test Realm changes Lucio once again, drawing back some changes and adding a few more
A few days ago, Lucio, attracted the most attention by dedicated players after receiving the most significant changes to his kit. These changes included a significant increase in his speed and healing, but a major reduction to his aura size. Many players did have concerns about the changes pointing out that it gave Lucio way more survivability compared to the rest of the support cast. Player John "DSPSTANKY" Stankiewicz showcased how incredible the new Lucio can be in the right hands down below.
Today, the PTR has updated once again, showing that the developers at Blizzard have heard the playerbase's concerns. Most of the changes to the PTR revolve around Lucio once again which are as follows:
Lucio
- Sonic Amplifier
Damage increased by 25%

Additionally, the update has opened back up all competitive maps instead of the two maps, Eichenwalde and Hanamura.
