honestly would be really happy if you made more marvel rivals content. I've been playing it a ton. probably the most fun ive had in a competitive shooter in ages
Rocket is a healer and you don't really need to be shooting enemies all that often. His gun is only good up close whether you're on Groot or not. If you're shooting too much you're going to be an underperforming healer whether on Groot or not. You should be wearing out your right click. Meanwhile, the healing orbs don't require tremendous aim. I definitely don't think it's ideal to spend the entire round on Groot's back, but I'm not sure the reasons you mentioned are why.
I main Rocket. Rocket and Groot are great as long as the Groot is not reckless and understands taking bad fights are still taking bad fights even with +150hp and a dedicated healer. Usually my Groot players want to 1v6 from start to finish and never play smart at all. Hopefully you'll continue to enjoy playing with Rocket.
I was just about to say this, I play with a really good groot tank and although I'll occasionally jump off to chase and confirm kills I could 100% just sit there it depends on who's playing Groot. One thing I will say though, at least for me on controller aiming without knowing where you're gonna move is a bit rough 😅.
Important note here: the 150 HP bonus is always active for Groot, this season. He doesn't need Rocket or Jeff to sit on his shoulder, they don't even need to be played. The anchor bonuses don't require the team-up to be active, because they're actually seasonal bonuses. Always active this season, regardless of who your teammates are playing.
Flaming hot take, I really think that's the move if you're wanting kills. You make healing secondary and ride groot for reduced damage, but you can beam headshots while on groot as he applies pressure, damage
It really all depends on how well the rocket can aim his dps and how much the enemy team focuses the pair. I’ve seen teams completely ignore rocket on his shoulder as well as the opposite where they get hard focused anytime they’re seen on the field. Add to the fact that shooting a rocket on his shoulder allows you free headshots on groot if you miss due to the close proximity. I found that the best use of this ability is for rocket to use an extra boost ability to for getting out of danger or moving quickly. Hop on then hop off
I love switching to Storm when the enemy team is running this combo. Her enhanced damage boost mode sends lightning bolts down on enemies inside her radius and Rocket (or Jeff) and Groot get hit by double bolts while together!
As a rain main, if you just sit youll get shot up. You gotta go back and forth between being a literal mosquito and piggyback groot. Also that health boost is only for groot not rocket. Pair rocket with capt cod (punisher) or revolver god (winter soldier) and rocket gets 15% heals.
It's not even close to my main game, but I enjoy playing this with the GF (she's super into Rivals, I'm mainly on Helldivers & Hell Let Loose). I love to see the success for a fun game!
Driftor, have you ever looked into or considered making a video on the concept of a “post-truth society”. I recently watched Interstellar and noticed this taking place in the beginning of the movie, and honestly with where our society is at, I’m worried we’re steering into becoming a post-truth society, where conspiracies and unfounded beliefs take the place of science and research. Would love to hear your opinion on this topic.
dont think other games than cod is the move for getting the channel back together. i personaly hate like 80% of the marvel ip and i dont really enjoy 3rd person pvp shooters. if you wanna do something different id go for political news, philosophy, or something else. im sorry i wont watch but you cant expect a total 180 to work out. lean in to the other things you have done before besides cod if you no longer enjoy the game. pure gameplay wont be it for me if people like it thats fine too, just giving my opinion.
7:21 "'...I'm like trying to calculate all these angles in my head while I'm riding on the man's back..."
Yeah I hate when that happens
This is the best youtube comment i've seen all month

Trust me, I'm cooking
@Drift0r YES i was about to beg you for more marvel rivals
The problem was you were riding the "panda_stupid" groot, gotta find the "panda_smart" groot
Couldn't agree more.

I think Shark is better on Groot.

Stop playing rocket 😡

We need the yung driftor in depth style reviews for this game

Love the Marvel Rivals content! I haven't felt this way about a game since Overwatch.

It's strange sometimes watching a game I've never played and wondering wtf it is I'm looking at.
Drift if you started making more Rivals content i'm all for it
Try Jeff. Just shoot left click down into groot. Right click also has splash damage so you can shoot an enemy's feet if you can't hit due to movement.
Aw yeah boi. A good game, at last.
Wild title choice lmaooooo
I pray that one day people will stop asking 'is this viable' and start asking 'is this fun' lol
it's not often fun to get nothing done and die
MARVEL CONTENT FROM DRIFT0R
A buddy of mine and I did this (me as Groot and him Rocket, probably both of our mains) and we had lots of success early. It was really fun lol
Groot's only like 5 in human years. C'mon, Drift!
My gf and I have been playing a Psylocke/Magik comp and been climbing together, just hit plat!
Nooooooo not Psylocke :(
Big angy

Marvel Rivals in depth when?
Not hate or anything but I'm not surprised that you gravitated to Auto Aim Lord, given your condition. 😂
Just waiting for that Wanda gameplay now. 😂😂😂
Luv the marvel rivals content
I said the biggest AYOOOOO when reading the title
Landshark mains rise up
I'm pretty sure there's skill-based damage in this game too isn't there ?
cats
9:24 its 12 meters.
I'd ride groot

I've been talking about that for ten years now
What was the point of this video, those observations are obvious to anyone who tries riding Groot.
BORING way to play. Cmon guys !
Agreed! I prefer Groot on top ;)
