    Ammo Overload is so freaking helpful. Use voice comms to tell your Punisher it's up and have him focus fire the enemy tanks. A Punisher primary fire deals 300 DPS for 12 seconds at minimum range and ~187 DPS at maximum range. He will deal MORE damage with his rifle than his turret. Even at maximum range he deals just about the same damage as the turret but will still be able to walk around.

      Burst Heals would be people like Loki with his clones do 120 HP or Luna doing 120 HP with two barrages of her primary fire or Warlock with his 95 burst.
      But the people complaining about that don't realize it's a selfish mindset because burst healers can't reliably keep the whole team healed up consistently like Rocket can (70 HP a sec), what they want are personal pocket healers and constant invulnerability from ults.
      It's a crutch 🩼 to make up for poor positioning and cover usage.

      @ You need 1 burst healer and 1 sutain healer I find works best. adam and mantis is such a powerful combo. I can go for 1 burst kill headspots with adam then turn around burst the dive so it doesnt die. That being said, if you have a bad other healers you fell almost usless as a burst healer because you have to waste all your burst heals at bad times.

      @keefert0n that's is the bad support mindset, supports should not make themselves easy picking. A good support should be supporting from as far away from risk as possible without compromising the support. If a support is playing super close to you it means they don't have confidence in their own ability. The only reason for a support to stick closer to the front line is if they are wary of a dive.

    Hey I'm not sure if it's mentioned but Rocket can use his Team-Up with Groot from quite the Range so much so that if you are close enough to him and your being dived you can immediately jump onto his back as a means for escaping the Diver aimed at you mainly plus then they even have to contend with your Groot which I know Duelist/Divers do not want to do if they are solely aiming for you
    Plus it's funny to see them all try to shoot you only to suddenly see you on Groot then off Groot the back onto Groot then ya know... Looney Toons activity 😏

    1) play high ground. If some dives you you can just jump off and then run back up when they follow you down
    2) if you boost while wall crawling you go super high
    3) drop your brb in the first spawn waiting for the match to start
    4) that setting change you recommended is for pc only. It doesn’t work if your are using right stick instead of a mouse

  • @jackobatgaming
    @jackobatgaming 17 днів тому

    IMO, riding Groot makes a BIG difference in a tank match up. Instead of standing at range pepppering in heals which have travel time, you could be riding him providing near instant heals while also being at ideal range for your weapon to actually provide useful dps, and into an enemy tank, who is large, you won't have much problem hitting them. I think this is what Rocket's left click was designed for, point blank into big targets.
    Now even with the damage reduction and you providing constant heals, things can get dicey riding Groot, so I like to still be a nimble fugger. I'll dash off Groot to high ground to heal an ally that was tougher to reach from Groot's position, or I'll dash off Groot to avoid an incoming ult, or to quickly set up a cheeky BRB, but then I'm right back on his shoulder as soon as I can be. I can't be dove in the same way I could be in the back, and hopping on and off Groot means the enemy has to work at keeping track of where I am. They get used to me being on Groot so when I've dashed off they don't have a reliable memory of where I play from at range.
    I love playing Rocket mainly because yeah he's super mobile and that is fun. He's very slippery and has options. The down side is I very much disagree that pure healing will carry potatoes. From my experience they will NOT eventually get a kill and gain an advantage. I think I lot of bad dps are used to tank and support doing damage and maybe they get lucky cleaning up a kill on a less than full health target. Supports that can do meaningful damage just have an advantage if the player is good, creating a man advantage on the field on their own. Rocket will RARELY be doing that, no matter how good he is. His low damage really is a huge point against him. Also, while he can pump out a LOT of heals over a fight, it's 100% because he's heal botting because his damage is bad. His actual heal output is, imo, low and he has no burst heal options like other supports might. Rocket has to work CONSTANTLY to keep up enough healing on his team. Other supports have high enough burst healing that they can find time to do damage and still maintain healing. Even if Rocket HAD damage, he'd rarely find time to use it imo.
    If I could request Rocket changes I'd love for his heal orbs to slow more when near allies so they are in range of them for longer, and buying Rocket a little more time to NOT just be spamming out heals. I'd also like to see his primary fire move faster so he can put on a little bit more damage pressure at his less than ideal range.

      Too many people seem to be parroting this same flawed mindset. Assuming your team is already keeping you healed anyway, a support ult is arguably a loss of utility. In reality, it seems like folks more so want a get out of jail free card for if/when they play in an unga bunga manner, in which case all you are doing is delaying the inevitable of you failing. More specifically, it's just stalling for the sake of stalling.

      Yeah I don't know if the towards crosshairs climbing setting is necessarily the best always. I originally tried it with Venom, but it disoriented me and made me unable to aim at the ground for his leap attack while climbing... It could be a matter of getting used to though, but it for sure is weird unless you practice it. It does give you more control on the direction when running on a smooth wall, but any ledges and stuff can throw you off. It seems weird that you drop down like at 14:22 instead of just going over the ledge...
      Not entirely sure if I just need to have it on and practice until its second nature, but that doesn't solve the problem of aiming away from the wall that you mentioned. 🤔
