When Overwatch players want to find a good map for Lucio, they often want to pick him for payload maps, since he can easily control them with his AoE heal, speed boost, and ultimate. However, there are other maps that he excels in. Here are the 3 best Overwatch maps to play Lucio in.
Lucio’s top maps #3: Nepal

The objective for the Nepal map in Overwatch isn’t a payload, so it may seem odd to take Lucio in this situation, but players who have tried him on this map know the power that he has here. Lucio can easily allow his teammates to take control of whatever point or flag there is on the map. This is because he can use the close quarters to his advantage by using the walls to escape enemy fire or aid teammates during a fight.
Another reason why this is one of Lucio’s top maps is because, in the inner sanctum control point, there is a pit in the very middle. In this pit, Lucio can easily turn it into an advantage by knocking opponents off of the ledge, allowing his team to safely capture the objective.
Lucio’s top maps #2: Numbani

Numbani is a hybrid objective map, which means it requires the capture of a point as well as escorting a payload. This puts Lucio in a very good situation since he can easily support his team to control objectives and keep enemies at bay. However, that isn’t the only pro for taking Lucio on this map.
The main reason why Numbani is one of Lucio’s top maps is because of all the walls he can use to his advantage. He can easily get a good vantage point for his team to spot incoming enemies or move in to make an impressive play. Lucio can also use these walls to easily get back into the fight after leaving the spawn point. With the movement speed he gets from riding walls, he can easily make it back to help his allies in no time.
Lucio’s top maps #1: Ilios

Ilios is perhaps Lucio’s top map. This is because it offers a bit of what both of the previously mentioned maps have to offer. While it may not be a payload map, Lucio can still help his team take control of the point or even hastily capture the enemy’s flag.
This map really caters to Lucio because of all the walls and ledges it has around the objectives. When trying to capture a point during a fight, Lucio can easily knock opponents off of a ledge so that they are out of the fight long enough for his team to pick up a win. Also, the walls can allow him to stay safe by avoiding fire while holding down the point long enough for backup to come.
