Boop is one of the best abilities in the game

Announcement

Saw another post where people were saying boop is a garbage ability outside of environmentals, and that's so insanely wrong. I've got over 500hrs on Lucio and just wanted to share some insight into how I use boop.

- Use it to cancel Winston's jump (if you time it right you can legit cancel all of his movement from jump)

- put yourself in position to use it to boop the enemy tank around a corner where their supports can't get to them. Wait until they push up a little and force them to overextend.

- If your hog hooks the enemy tank, boop them back towards your team as they try to retreat.

- Use it to push enemies away from your team when a teammate is about to die.

- Use it to boop a flanking enemy into the open where it's harder for them to retreat (I give my teams SO MANY picks doing this)

- Use it to clear/guard high ground (seriously this is insane value)

- Use it to boop Genji as he ults. I can't tell you how many Genji ults I've saved my teams from because I booped him away for long enough for my team to kill him.

- Use it to keep divers off your other support. If you're using Lucio's movement right, you can swing back to your Ana, boop a flanker away, and often turn that into a pick.

- Keeping enemies off point. This sounds minor but I've won a good number of matches because I used boop to keep them from touching.

500hrs on Lucio and boop is just as valuable as speed boost and Lucio's unmatched movement potential, IMO
