All my friends keep pusbing me away from rocket which im blown about because i love using him. Hopefully he gets un-nerfed from beta and make his orbs do 10 again
Rocket is so fun to use and he’s underrated in my opinion. Having 10 ammo would definitely help him so much🙏. It just feels so odd reloading at 8 ammo lol.
I think rocket desperately needs 10 more rounds in his mini gun and a small heal buff to his orbs. If they’re feeling generous I’d take a dps buff as well. Think he could be great with these small changes. Thoughts?
See this is the changes I would like to see, BUT if I only had to choose one to make it into the game I would add more rounds. I personally think his damage is fine, but either adding more rounds to his gun or his heal orbs ESPECIALLY would be a great buff. What would make me happy: either they add more damage to his mini gun and decrease to his rounds to 40 or add more ammo to his orbs at least 10 that’s fair in my opinion.
I tried him for a match and went back to Cloak and Dagger, he really needs more to his kit to make him fun to play. Even just something like, he builds up charge for his gun by healing people and it launches AoE rockets at max or his respawn beacon can act as a turret etc. anything to make him more interactive to play. I also wish his jetpack would default to Up opposed to where he was facing a lot of the time
I disagree with the jetpack change cause you can technically replicate what you're mentioning by wall-climb + jetpack upwards. However I can agree after playing around 30+ hours, he's fun but also doesn't feel super impactful aside from the one free rez and his ult. I do wish he had more mechanics either regarding his weapon or his beacon.
Agree however I disagree with the jetpack. Defaulting to up after a bit would end up people just predicting it and the jetpack being mostly useless. Being able to flick and change direction at a whim is alot more useful in traversing the map and evasion.
@@kipsgamingemporium You seem to have misunderstood. He's saying it should _default_ to going upwards (if you're holding no movement keys). I would go as far as to say you should be able to dash in the direction you're moving relative to your camera. W sends you in the direction you are looking (basically the behaviour it has now). A and D send you sideways. S sends you away from where you're looking. Holding no movement keys sends you straight up. Then just make it an option you can toggle if you'd prefer to only ever dash in the direction you're looking.
@@yansantiago8309 The problem with dashing upwards while wallclimbing is that many walls have geometry on them that you get caught on. If part of the wall sticks out even slightly then it will cut your dash short, like hitting a ceiling.
Rocket shines when played just off angle or right behind the tanks. 10m and in you do 193dps without crits, but your damage falls off to a measly 40% at 20m. That coupled with the fact that the healing orbs don't stack makes Rocket and absolute menace with the rest of his kit. I turned off his auto reload and it was a game-changer.
Yea ever since this upload I’ve been doing more dps in my games and it does help ngl, I realized I’ve could’ve been finishing off enemies my dps couldn’t alongg time ago. Also I have tried to play with the auto reload off and I would forget to reload lol, ima try it again and try to get use to it, thanks for the suggestion!
Does it become easier to play support at higher ranks or not? I am now silver 1 and almost always have 5 dps in my team and each goes Leroy Jenkins 1v6
Yes and no, like anything it comes with pros and cons. Pros being better teammates, ur team knowing when to be aggressive and play passive, and actually healing teammates that can go out and kill something (most of the time at least). Cons being mainly ability cycle management, if u use ur abilities wrong ESPECIALLY ur ult, auto L, so mistakes cost you a lot more in higher ranks where people can easily punish you for it.
Small update, for a week approximately i was gold 3 and fell to silver 2. 16 L’s in a row maining rocket and cloack. Today i reached platinum 3. I became more aware of my teammates placement and my game sense improved a lot. Also i threw away my ego and stoped blaming everyone for loses. It helped a lot with tilting. The change started after a teammate said to me “the only common thing in all of your loses is only one person”
was stuck in elo hell in silver but solo queuing in gold and plat have a significant difference in ur team knowing how to work with you. Plat 1 rn in 76 games, all rocket :)
If you dont mind me aski g how hard was the grind from diamond to grandmaster it. Im trying to get out of plat 1 to diamond as rocket but everytime i get the game that would push us through my teams just cant get it and its kinda bringing me down lol
Let me tell you, plat to diamond was harder then diamond to GM in my opinion. But during Plat and Diamond it really made me realize I need a hero pool to play in case I have to pick up slack for one of my teammates. Once u hit Diamond it gets a littler easier and teammates have better common sense, so just keep grinding!
Trust me I get them to, just yesterday I got flamed for our L when the guy blaming me had 21 deaths… Keep playing him into the right comps and situations and I promise you you will rank up!
Congrats on GrandMaster!! i need Rocket 🚀 advice. im trying to be a Rocket main. Im 10 hours in this season currently silver ll in rankings. im averaging 25-48,000ish heals per game, but my k/d is only 3/3ish never seem to do dmg or elims . Am im helping the team with high heals but small k/d and dmg? I feel i am, but idk im always using heals and my abilities. Definitely enjoying playing Rocket and enjoy healing my teammates.
Thank you! Yes you are doing everything right as rocket, to have even more impact though, yes, try to deal more damage and get more elims with rocket, most underrated thing about him is his damage dealing. Keep going and good luck in season 1!
@KETCH419 Aye, right on, i really appreciate you taking the time to reply to me. Im happy to hear that I'm helping my team. I'll try to get more dmg throughout my matches. He's my favorite character to play. Thanks you as well. im hoping to get to Gold this season 🙏
Well I’m on PlayStation, but the rank is cross server so if u can get to gold on PlayStation I promise you you can get to gold as well on Xbox lol. Also, when u hit platinum (which you will) try to do more damage with his mini gun as well as heal botting. You will be SURPRISED how many enemies you help your team finish off!
@KETCH419 im just doing it for the moon knight skin. I look for ankhs, pennies spider hive, groot's walls, and the occasional help with finishing off enemies. Its a struggle but fun
You should be able to go into the settings of the specific character and I think somewhere around the reticle settings you can toggle a healing effect around your reticle when healing a teammate
Hey there, so in settings you want to scroll over until you see controller (Console) or Keyboard (PC) then click on combat, then you want to switch to wtv strategist you want and scroll down until you see the hero selection. Look for the option called healing reticle feedback option and turn it on. Hope that helped!
@ man thanks I appreciate the quick response. Also like your commentary on the gameplay. Looking for another support besides cloak and dagger. Going to try rocket
I'm wondering if you're working on a guide for Rocket, I've been sorta stuck at Plat 1 with him and I'm unsure what I'm doing wrong, figured it'd be nice since there's not that many guides for him in higher ranks yet.
@@gabirusama3072 Do you realize how easy it is to get to GM if you just duo with a good tank? Both in OW and MR, find a tank main who can actually play the game and just heal the absolute fuck out of him. He'll carry and you'll climb with him.

Dude he does almost 200 DPS as a healer. No.
I mean, how much have you played him? Tbh if I'm lucky I get a 7k-8 k damage game.. his healing and revives are nice tho. @@TheShockzero

Great ideas! I also agree, he can definitely feel dull at times, they definitely should make him more complex or at least interesting to play.

well when i play rank, ppl constantly tells me to switch when i'm playing rocket

Def helps that you’re at the level where teammates know to come closer for heals
Let me tell you ,It really, really does. Makes playing support so much more rewarding to play
Can you show me your crosshair settings pls?
In my next video, I will have it in there. Stay tuned!
I love playing as rocket. I'm already bot healer with little to no damage. But how is it that on Playstation, im gold II. But on Xbox im bronze III? 😅
Well I’m on PlayStation, but the rank is cross server so if u can get to gold on PlayStation I promise you you can get to gold as well on Xbox lol.
Also, when u hit platinum (which you will) try to do more damage with his mini gun as well as heal botting. You will be SURPRISED how many enemies you help your team finish off!

Dude how do people get that healing effect around their reticle ?
You should be able to go into the settings of the specific character and I think somewhere around the reticle settings you can toggle a healing effect around your reticle when healing a teammate
@ ahhh settings of the specific character! Didn’t know those were a thing, thank you!

For sure! I definitely want to help you guys improve on rocket and just strategist in general. Be on the lookout for it here soon!
you just heal?
For the most part, if needed I play vanguard (strange,magneto, Penni)
@@KETCH419 no i meant just heal on support, I expected a gm support to be doing way more dmg and off angling
Oh yea, totally agree, but as raccoon that’s not really needed but if you check out my most recent video you can see me doing that with mantis!
@ ill be sure to check it out, im aware that rocket has way less dps than most supports but was still suprising to see the lack of in this vid
@@deadku6150rocket doesn’t get the privilege mantis, Luna, shark get
If his beacon doubked as a healing auro and did a burst of like 150 helaing when it was destroyed i bet he could be a little better
That’s a very interesting take on the beacon, I would love to see how that would be played out
Great gameplay.
Not trying to hate, but healbotting w rocket isn’t the way. off angling w his jet pack and playing an off support role works hella good.
Appreciate the suggestion! Something I definitely gotta work on fr with rocket
Bro he’s GM, he’s at least not playing him wrong
@@gabirusama3072 Do you realize how easy it is to get to GM if you just duo with a good tank? Both in OW and MR, find a tank main who can actually play the game and just heal the absolute fuck out of him. He'll carry and you'll climb with him.
W
Oh, it's just console.
What’s the deal with console players, is it just under assumption it’s easier for us? I’m genuinely curious lol
