  1. So to start off, I want to say that I did a mini-synopsis of the vod earlier. And I have to say you played much better in this vod than the previous one. I could claim that some of these are due to the setting of a tournament where you have the entire team being people you know and are friends with, but some of these do stand on there own. And one thing I would love to talk about is wall riding. More specifically, how you can practice it. From the gameplay, You seemed very awkward and lost with wall riding, not really understanding the momentum. I have a custom game that I usually play when I first get onto overwatch, and I think you could use it. Simply set up a skirmish on Temple of Anubis, and give lucio 0 cool down on amp it up. Then, for as long as you need to, bounce around and have fun! I think one thing you need to work on is tapping jump on walls. Hugging a wall and then jumping off doesn't build up a lot of momentum. Small taps on walls give you a quick boost that can be chained with other walls to keep the momentum. If you skim the wall, you keep the most momentum. I just thought that this would be helpful.

  3. Now, onto the gameplay!! First point, I love you sticking with your reaper. Its super strong to have a speed boosted reaper. During the fight, you don't hold back on the winston and boop him, which is a good habit. During your first life, I do feel you seemed reluctant to cross fade, which is something that really just takes experience to learn. I always laugh watching a lucio run away on heals, slowly sliding away while he could be getting out a lot faster. You die to the soldier, which I can't blame on you. After that, you stick with your team and really just sit back and heal while spamming. You might expect me to be mad at that, but I actually will commend you for that. I have a lot of trouble knowing when to hold back, and you and your team are making a lot of good callouts. Another improvement is boop usage. That might seem stupid, as most see it as a simple and very basic form of peel that is infamous for pushing people off maps, but there's so much more. A lot of it's utility can be combined with wall riding. It can save lives by pushing off flankers, fucking up peoples aim, or just messing up their positioning. Once you start gaining the ability to reliably flank, you can hardcore parkour behind an enemy(this is best used against reins) and pushing them into your team for extra damage or a free pick. The possibilities are endless and are so much fun to learn. During the ultimate push with the EMP you did sort of run away from your team, but knowing how open that space is, you might have just been dodging the aim bot. I also don't think you should have used sound barrier there, as you had a good part of your team down and it could be saved for something like a graviton surge. I do want to address that you are fighting a sombra, which does make ultimate usage harder, but it is fightable. If you are able to learn good speed control and can wall ride efficiently, you can take up the job of scout, using this massive mobility to scope out the landscape. IF your team is in your aura or just in general vicinity and you have some free time, check your surroundings. You can easily get to most high ground in a few second, and if you learn speed control you can go to scout and hippity hoppity(DOWN WITH DEMOCRACY) out of there. Second point, you keep on high ground, and help your team. You also are doing a lot a lot of shot calling and directing of your dps, which just brings a tear to my eye. Callouts are the ultimate counter to sombra, and you keep a tab on her throughout the point. Heck, you even do the thing where you drop your ultimate from a lower level onto a higher level in order to get it out faster. You are doing great as a defensive lucio. And you are a part of why you held the point. Bravo.

  5. Now, offense. You run with the hog, and get a pretty satisfying pick. Again, you worked way better with this team than the previous vod. While trying to kill a widow, you really mess up wall riding and waste a lot of time. To climb, it is best to find a corner or two really close walls to chain onto high ground. Once you nearly finish the point, you leave your team to fuck up a zen. YES. THIS IS WHAT I LIVE FOR. Lucio needs oppurtunitys. to get in and get free picks. Usually, you want to look for lone targets or people on low health. And it can be used to tilt people as well as get picks. and, with one final ultimate push, gg. Overall, the gameplay has improved tremendously. I want you to try my wall riding skirmish, and maybe work on awareness. Also, in case you want to learn combat wall riding, do the scrim with a friend who has good aim, and see if you can dodge his shots. And thats my review. Speed boop out.
