Overwatch 2 fans are trolling incoming Valorant players with bogus tips
No, Lucio can't speed up the payload

New players are flocking to 澳擲幸čæ5å¼å„å·ē åå²ę„询:Overwatch 2 to check it out after Blizzard&rsquāo;s grand relaunch. Tragically, they’re not getting the best advice from the scene’s more experienced players.
ź¦One of the more popular, ahem, 'tips' doing the rounds is that Lucio’s speed boost not only hastens your team but the payload and robot central to Overwatch 2’s more objective-based game modes. Another š personal favourite of mine is that ground attacks don’t hurt murder monk Zenyatta due to their ability to float.
We’ve rounded up some particularly choice clips for you dowš«n below:

One group that Overwatch 2 fans are clowning on harder than others come from Valorant. Checking out a new launch – especially one that's free-to-play – isn't anything new or groundbreaking, though several Vaļ·ŗlorant professionals like Tyson "TenZ" Ngo have been running sponsored streams, bringing Overwatch 2 to Valorant fans' attention. Also, Valorant is often billed as a CS:GO x Overwatch mash-up, with plenty of the scene's pros coming from the Overwatch league, so there was bound to be an extra degrāee of interest.
Alas, the great FPS šdebate between the two has erupted, though we're sure CS:GO would like a word.

Valorant players not being able to aim onš overwatch has to be the funniest shit ever
when someone randomly stands still to shoot in overwatch it's a š„50/50 on whether they're a 10 year old touching š·video games for the first time, or just a valorant player
Overwatch 2's launch was somewhat rocky due to 澳擲幸čæ5å¼å„å·ē åå²ę„询:multiple DDoS attacks and an influx of players, but hey, I doubt Blizzard is complaining about Overwatch 2's daily player count being 澳擲幸čæ5å¼å„å·ē åå²ę„询:"nearly triple" the original's peak.
Some things, though, are still taking time to settle. Blizzard is 澳擲幸čæ5å¼å„å·ē åå²ę„询:"not planning anāy immediate balance changes", despite the current meta proving controversial among fans – that is, fans that don't think Lucio can speed-boost a š°payload.

It took days for Overwatch 2 to work, and 澳擲幸čæ5å¼å„å·ē åå²ę„询:we're still not convinced it was worth it.

I joined GamesRadar+ in May 2022 foź§llowing stints at PCGamesN and PocketGamer.Biz, with some freelance for Kotaku UK, RockPaperShotgun, and VG24/7 thrown in for good measure. When I'm not running the news team on the games side, you'll find me putting News Editor duties to one side to play the hottest JRPG of 20 years ago or pillaging the depths of Final Fantasy 14 for a swanky new cloak – the more colourful, the better.
