```Song's area-of-effect radius decreased from 30 meters to 10 meters
Healing-per-second has been increased by 50% (also applies to Lúcio's Amp It Up ability)
Movement speed increased by 30% when wall riding
Lúcio now receives a burst of speed when leaping off a wall```
Whoa. Weaker but more fun and skillish, this could be exactly what was needed. Right direction anyway.
I do like the Lucio changes they have up; however, I think that the wallriding speed buff hurts you more cause even when using healing aura, you go too fast when wallriding and you can overshoot a wall when you're turning over a corner. So it makes advanced wallriding a bit harder. So maybe somewhere around 10-20% speed increase instead of 30% would be better.

Key takeaways:
lucio is already pretty survivable, looks like he'll be harder to click on and a lot better at stalling. if the point was to lower lucio's pick rate i can't imagine these changes helping. i could only see him being picked more often than before if that's possible. his AOE may have been nerfed but if he can move that quickly between low hp targets the change isn't so effective
increasing the projectile speed is a good change and i thought he needed a damage buff
