Achilles vod review but it's nuanced

Hi, Speed boop here, that one maniac that did three vod reviews on three consecutive days. So although this gameplay came in later than the others, I really like this one. Achilles, you have the most similar play style to me out of three, which is a breath of fresh air. You also have a way higher ability for wall riding than what is common for your SR. In fact, you play better than most diamond Lucios I see. On to the gameplay!

Now I want to start this by commenting on your team comp. I think it's ok, but there is a catch. Moira, while being strong in this meta, is difficult to work with as a Lucio. You have to stay next to her a lot to get any benefit, which can often hinder the other parts of the team. And at the beginning of the game, I really do admire your wall riding. It's amazing to see stuff like this in a lower SR, and I can sort of tell that you are enjoying playing the character by the movement. There's a lot of energy in the movement, and you are constantly repositioning in order to mess with and to better tackle the enemy. You do seem to be a bit awkward with the movement though, which I don't blame you for. I'd be surprised if your movement was smoother, as you are still learning the basics. It's a lot like driving a car, where it gets smoother and smoother as time passes. Although, you do seem a bit too focused on wall riding. I think there's an unconscious desire to show off your wall riding, and while it does have some psychological advantage, you can easily go overboard. I like you chasing people like the reaper at 1:55, and while this is good, and you fight well, you're being extremely cocky. You do also seem to be crossfading when it is ultimately pointless, and are hindering yourself in the process.

Your next big error was your ultimate, as you really shouldn't have used it there. It wasn't really pointless, as you were likely to win without it. One thing I think you are doing really well is playing around your team. You are still upholding the ideology of supporting and protecting your team while being this ultra aggressive monstrosity of man and frog. And while this works right now, as you are in an SR range where most players lack a lot of awareness, you will eventually hit a wall called "Actually Skilled and Smart Players". You need to start preparing to hold back more and find more of a balance in between your two sides of play. I do wish that you weren't as focused on trying to solo the enemy dps such as reaper, who you chased down a fair amount of times when it could have been dealt with in a more concise way.

My current problem is trying to define you and review you in a way that fits my usual formula. But since your gameplay is staying really strong, it's hard to do it in my normal style without having to continuously repeat positives. If I did , I'd be saying the same things about your wall riding, showing off, etc. I'm going to be blunt- You are good. You have all of the basics down, and have some exceptional wall riding. There are very few problems, but a lot of things that can be improved. I'd suggest trying to learn some of the harder wall riding techniques and more complex movement. I'd start figuring out how to play around tanks and practice rollouts in the suggested scrim. But overall, I would be looking for ways to build off of what you have now and how you can refine it. There is a lot of potential in you, and all you need to do is try.
