How are the starting positions in Lúcioball chosen?












3















In Lúcioball, each player starts each round in a different position. One player spawns as the goalie, while the remaining players spawn on offense.



After playing for a while, I haven't been able to find any consistent pattern to know which player will be goalie next. This makes it difficult to plan as a team for who will stay behind and who will charge ahead.



How does the game decide player spawn locations in Lúcioball? Is it random?

    Why do you think it might not be random if all you see is randomness?

  • Based on my observations if you have the least contribution to the team such as 0 in everything after the first goal, you'll be put in the goalie position. This is based on a group of 3 observation.

    This sounds to me like a question about developer intent, which is one of the off-topic close reasons.

    Not to me, he wants to know what criteria make any given player play goal in the next round. Seems like a solid question.

    @DanmakuGrazer it's a valid question. The OP is possibly looking for clarification on patterns or if it's truly random. It's a fine question.

I believe that, to keep the game fair (wouldn't be a fun game if you keep going against a top 500 Lucio main goalie God), the game chooses it at random.
