Yo that groot one sucks! Idc what anyone says, its literally no better than his base kit. Why do rocket mains only use the groot one??
Up to 5s off ALL your cooldowns?? I usually don't notice small buffs/debuffs, but this one is very noticeable. The one time I played with a rocket who spams these hoes I actually felt the difference. I thought it was for rocket only.
So when are y’all planning on telling the other gamers that the biggest counter to you is just dealing a bit of damage so your orbs come out way slower
i’m being so deadass when i say if you’re pulling out 9 damage in a 12 minute celestial game on rocket you need to put the character away immediately and never touch him again
this dude deserves to lose cuz wtf are these DONUTS
I've got a little not-so-serious rant about something in this game
Raccoons are NOT rodents
There are plenty of voicelines and even tie-in comics for Rivals making this mistake and it irks me. At first I thought maybe China has a different classification and their word for raccoon has some translation issue, but that's not the case here, they refer to raccoons as huànxióng (浣熊) which means "Washing bear"
Rodents are classified under the order Rodentia, this is the largest order of mammals, encompassing a whopping 40% of ALL mammals, Squirrel Girl is partially rodent since squirrels are rodents, however raccoons are NOT part of that 40%.
Raccoons are under the order Carnivora, thus making Rocket a Carnivoran, the same order as dogs and bears, going further to the raccoon's biological family, Rocket can be classified as a Procyonid. Whilst it may seem strange, Rocket is more closely related to White Fox than he is Squirrel Girl, as foxes are also under order Carnivora. To put this in perspective, as primates and rodents both reside in superorder Euarchontoglires whilst carnivorans do not, humans are more closely related to rodents than Rocket is.
Ignore this if you’re an Asgardian, as that makes him a rabbit, thus a Lagomorph
I love this game because there’s so many neat interactions that you don’t realize until it happens and I’ve never seen anyone post about this.
If you’re riding Groot and he uses his bubble you become an indestructible floating turret. It’s really silly with Groot team up.
Along with the revive beacon, Rocket should be able to choose from 3-4 constructs useful for combat and utility useful to Rocket himself and/or his team.
Just some matches I had from comp/qp over the past few days. Having a blast with Rocket in season 9/.5 and hadn't made a new showcase in a while :) hope you fellow rabbits enjoy!
the stats seem to show that he's over performing this season, but i just don't feel like im making as much impact as most other supports in my games
adding the range penalty to the ult particularly feels like a bad direction, as it punishes rocket for good ult placements, like why we punishing rocket for playing well?
its the only support ult that can be destroyed directly without killing the support, which is y rocket was given the option to place it on high ground or corner spots as a way to make it harder to destroy
and due to losing the anchor bonus and increased ult cost, i find other supports ulting more often than me
surviving dives feels much harder than before, due to them having an extra cooldown to burst u down and their regen hp letting them dive more frequently than b4, i really wish the groot teamup could heal rocket for a reduced amount like his heal orbs for some extra survivability
but maybe its just me and he's fine rn? idk
Mobility has increased for other characters, they keep releasing dps and supports and tanks with mobility, but his is the same nerfed pitiful range and awful cooldown doghit it's been for a long time.
Dive has been buffed across the board and has become significantly more capable of killing him much more easily, but he has nothing extra to help himself against it. And don't fucking say acorns because stopping to toss those and pick them up will just get you killed.
Iron Fist used to be evadable and kind of a joke. Now he fucking nukes Rocket with his Thing teamup and kicks his goddamn ass.
Spider-Man now kicks your ass even easier with that fucking bomb.
Ult is fucking trash and barely worth it to use. You either put it up your team's ass to get the full effect and it gets blown up almost immediately by the enemy team, or you put it in a good spot and it does almost nothing with the brutal stupid falloff that was unnecessary to add and only done to appease angry never happy dps players.
I don't even want to use it because it's now literally the worst support ult by far. I end up holding onto it forever now.
CnD now gets like 2.2 ults for every ult Rocket gets, AND theirs is MUCH BETTER.
Pretty much any time I ult now, no matter when I do it, an enemy support has an answer to it with their own ult which instantly counters and makes it useless. The ult charge nerf was fucking brutal.
Characters he used to be great at killing have been buffed to the point it's really not feasible anymore unless they're dogshit.
Like Thing used to be easy to kill until he got his leap to enemies, now he'll just leap to Rocket and right click over and over (which has the same range as his dash so good luck escaping) which also knocks him off walls and interrupts his movement abilities and kick his fucking ass.
And the same has happened to others.
Groot teamup isn't very good and acorns aren't fun. I don't care if acorns reduce BRB and portal. I really don't fucking care. It's not fun to use. It's the most boring ability in the game.
I just can't find any fun in this character anymore.
It cost 22000 Yen ($138USD 🥀) but it was on sight as soon as I saw it. This was one of the last two remaining.
Everyone else is able to peek around corners to the left without being seen.
Not Rocket.
Here is him peeking right.
And here's how far sticking out he has to be to see the same on the left.
Yeah... it's bad.
No other character has it this bad.
I really don't like the stance they have him in. I know what the point of it is, it's to widen his hitbox and make him easier to hit because he's small. That's why they have him in this stance that sticks his tail out to the side, and there's no way to right click or left click or do anything without his tail sticking out and making him a wider target.
Even if you stay still and try to angle yourself, he will move to stick his tail out to the left again.
I wish they would do something about this because it stinks. Sometimes you have to peek right, sometimes you have to peek left, but Rocket can't peek left.
Got my 1st 20-Bomb with Rocket as he’s one of my comfort Strat Picks
give rocket a thor teamup that makes his gun shoot lightning beams, like the arc lightning gun from fortnite
Seriously, in active fights Rocket can just barely use his LMB and even then the team will most probably just die immediately. The boy depserately needs at least something to not just healbot. Giving him his legs back would be a great start.
i thought projectile weapons r supposed to hv no dmg falloff as a tradeoff for having travel time over hitscan weapons
but rocket's weapon has the cons of both weapon types which dosen't seem fair to me
and wats more weird is that the falloff starts from 10m range, while most hitscan weapons start from 15-20m
wat am i missing here?
first if you can can you give me some tips on playing rocket then I’ve heard two sides of an argument about rocket being good in dive or bad in dive comp which is it? then finally ik he has some of the highest damage of supports so should I play him more actively and use that damage to the max or should I just healbot
I decided to try playing him but I can't aim for shit. I have like 60% accuracy on Luna but I max out at 25 for Rocket. I know he's not hitscan but his projectiles are so weird.
Rocket used to be a good healer before season 9. Now that season 9 comes I always end up have much lower heals than most healers no matter how hard I heal. On top of that, I am a champion rocket with 110 hours of gameplay so I am fairly confident and familiar with his kit.
Every game, I usually get a minimum of 2k healing difference from the other healer. I also get to have multiple games where 10k healing difference was between me and the other teammate healer, which is the new normal I would say.
Is this a system adjustment or any rocket mains have the same experiences? Definitely there’s a change for him.
