Overwatch Gameplay - Lucio (Abilities & Lore)

Overwatch Gameplay series keeps going with the support role Lucio.
New franchise from Blizzard Entertainment and we would like to give you all information asap. We are doing a full abilities and lore story series for each of the Heroes in this new Brawler. This particular game is on the NUMBANI map (battlefield) in Payload mode. The game was played at Gamescom 2015


There are no Beta keys at the moment but you can sign up for Overwatch here :
http://eu.battle.net/overwatch/en/
I would also like to the add that the beta should go live in the Autumn of 2015.

Detailed Abilities :

SONIC AMPLIFIER
Lúcio can hit his enemies with sonic projectiles or knock them back with a blast of sound.

CROSSFADE
Lúcio continuously energizes himself—and nearby teammates—with music. He can switch between two songs: one amplifies movement speed, while the other regenerates health.

AMP IT UP
Lucio increases the volume on his speakers, boosting the effects of his songs.

SOUND BARRIER - ULTIMATE ABILITY
Protective waves radiate out from Lúcio’s Sonic Amplifier, briefly providing him and nearby allies with personal shields.

Lore / Story :
Lúcio is an international celebrity who inspires social change through his music and actions.

Lúcio Correia dos Santos grew up in Rio de Janeiro, in a poor and crowded favela that was hit hard by the financial upheaval following the Omnic Crisis. As Brazil began the long process of recovery, he wanted to find a way to lift the spirits of those around him. He found his answer in music and its power to bring people together and even help them forget their troubles, if only for a short time. He performed on street corners, in block parties, and as he got older, at a string of legendary underground shows.

But Lúcio's close-knit community was thrown into chaos when the multinational Vishkar Corporation secured a contract to redevelop large tracts of the city. Lúcio and his neighbors had been told that the development would improve their lives. However, that promise never became a reality. Vishkar imposed controls on the residents in the name of building a more orderly society: enforcing curfews, cracking down on what the company perceived as lawless behavior, and exploiting the populace as a cheap labor force.

Lúcio wouldn't stand for it. He stole Vishkar sonic technology that had been used to suppress the people, and he converted it into a tool to rally them to action. In a popular uprising, they drove Vishkar out of their neighborhoods. Lúcio's leadership made him a star overnight and a symbol for positive social change. His music skyrocketed in popularity. Whereas he had once performed locally, he was now filling arenas across the world.

With his newfound fame, Lúcio realizes that he has an opportunity to make a difference and change the world for the better.

Heroes of the Storm (Gameplay) - Kharazim, Monk Healing Build (PTR)

Time to test out a Gameplay Healing Build for our Monk Kharazim in Heroes of the Storm on the Public Test Realm or PTR. The actual results where very good from my PoV, doing very high Healing as-well as respectable Hero Damage. In this HotS Quick Match which was again on the Infernal Shrines Battleground I used the stock skin and Golden Tiger mount. Please note that everything on the PTR is not final and can be changed, yet given Blizzard's track record I highly doubt it.

Heroes of the Storm (Gameplay) - Kharazim Offensive Build (Infernal Shri...

The Heroes of the Storm (HotS) PTR is live so that means the Monk Kharazim Gameplay (1080p 60fps). Currently only Infernal Shrines Battleground is available to test so in this Quick Match i used the Jade Dragon skin and Magic Carpet mount. I went for Seven Sided Strike as a Heroic Ability since i used a more offensive Build for this so called "Support".
