@@J5TN you're welcome! I think if you made a video about "The best rocket revive placements" for each map it would help a lot of people. I see so many throw it on the ground in the middle of a payload lane 🤣
@@J5TN So I used him! I really struggle getting out any damage without health bars dropping to nothing, fast! I am in low elo though, positioning is terrible here.
I'm really liking his buffs, allows me to focus a bit more on damaging some guys, had a recent match where I went 19-3-18 with 12k heals. Love how you play Rocket.
@@FowlPlayPresents Thank you! His buff is pretty nice I agree. It really helps promote more damaging playstyles since you don't have to healbot to get decent healing numbers
I just started playing him today and fell in love with his tank busting abilities. I keep wondering why people dont play him, but im practically switching over to maining him. Those buffs were sweeet~
@@BlackVulpes Melting tanks gets so addicting in my opinion. If I play other healers it doesn't feel as fun. Teammates will forever think he's bad but I think his buff really helped elevate him 😊
If I were to guess I'd say that people don't play Rocket because he lacks both burst healing and a reactive support ult. When you have someone like Groot sitting in front of you at 1 hp even Jeff can burst heal him with stacked bubbles, but Rocket can't. So as a result whenever there's bursts of damage coming in Rocket easily gets overpowered. That's why he can only work as a secondary off-healer. Not to mention that his ult is a proactive damage boost which is nice but, again, it can't save anyone during "o shi" moments. It's also worth noting that until Luna's ult is nerfed so that it no longer lasts 10 years there'll be even less reasons for supports to pick Rocket. This in addition to CnD ult being buffed recently as well. Don't get me wrong though, I love playing Rocket. But his weakness becomes glaringly obvious when you play other supports and realize how much faster they patch people up.
Cool highlights! I would love to see some full games with gameplay commentary. Where to position, when and why to prioritise left click over right click, etc...
@@Maxificent That's what I've noticed some people asking for more of. I have a video on my channel of a full match but im still getting used to the commentary part 😅
Awesome video. What's your take on Groot's team up ability with RR? Is this something you often use with the benefits of having DR and RR's close range damage (that pretty much melts everyone). Also, at around what level did you get Lord for RR? Thanks a bunch and looking forward to more RR videos.
@@Chiwitz Thank you! Honestly I rarely ever use the Team up with groot. I feel more comfortable moving around rather than being on his back and people usually don't see me on the ground 😅😂. I got Lord Rocket at around 24-25 hours played on him I will say. Im working on getting my Mantis to lord rn and my goodness it take forever 😭
Ill have games where I drop a pretty decent number of kills, and I try to as often as I can, but it really depends on how well the other strategist can help on heals and how well the rest of the team can play their lives. With both DPS flanking and a vanguard playing dive tank on a non dive character, getting kills can be difficult when I constantly have to evade the entire enemy team.
@@Reveur_Lucide Yeah it becomes very situational. Sometimes your other healer may not be focusing heals so you have to pick up the slack, or your DPS may or may not be performing so you can't play aggressive. It really can be a coin flip
@J5TN absolutely. All in all, I've tried half the roster and nobody clicks into the same groove that Rocket does. My aim isn't the best, sense of tracking and leading my shots is even worse, so most characters I just do really poorly on. I've considered trying hitscan characters but I'm still leary because of my consistency, and hitscan characters usually catch a ton of flak lol
@@Reveur_Lucide Omg yeah, I've had many games where the team will gang up on a guy for not performing on a hitscan character. Kinda why I just stick to support 😅. But Rocket is a bit harder for people to get used to because of his projectiles. But once you get use to having to lead your shots it's not bad.
@J5TN for sure. He's not made for range so helping push back dive characters is great. Keep at it mate, you're a great player, I'll be keeping my eyes open for anything you put out for sure.
Rocket feels much better at healing now, but i still find his gun a little wonky Even without buffing it, theres actually a lot of visual clutter on his weapon fire, despite being a pinpoint projectile stream, the visual looks like bullets spray everywhere, its just kind of a mess to look at I also feel like they could maybe rework his gun a little bit, where using each type of ammo, refilled a portion of the other, so youre incentivised to sort of "Heal -> Shoot -> Heal -> Shoot" repeat His weapons gameplay loop being closer to something like Baptise from Overwatch would be better, but right now its a bit off
@@Moogle But its literally a pinpoint projectile, its not an explosive If it was an explosive chaingun that didnt crit? Fair enough, but its not, its just a bad machinegun right now, and the distance games are played at, you basically cant use it until youre in a bad situation anyway
@@andreicherciu5719 I actually just did my first test stream last night here on RUclips! The full stream is on my channel but im definitely gonna be streaming more!
Man, you are an insane rocket. Your gameplay is exactly what I'm looking. Feels criminal having a machine gun and only use it as a heal dispenser. Do you have any tips to improve aim? My aim currently sucks!
@@RandomGorilla10 Thank you so much! Yeah playing healbot with Rocket is just a waste when other healers can healbot much better than him. I would say for me, small crosshairs help my aim a ton. Small crosshairs let me see more of the spray and where it's going so it's a little easier to control. Hope this helps a little 😅
Hello 👋 I'm new to the game, but I'm really enjoying Rocket. I always loved support characters with great movement (i used to play mercy back when ow wasn't garbage) and Rocket just feels so fun I watched quite a bit of character breakdowns and Rocket breakdowns specifically and in all of them the general advice is to basically never use left click and just stay in backline focusing on the heal and brb positioning But i noticed that you actually go in the fights pretty often. Is that because of you having two other supports on the team or is it actually better than focusing on heals? Also, do you not place brb before fights and drop it in you see that someone is dying? If so, why?🤔 Last question, what is the best time to use his ult?
@@roga6067 Hello, thanks for checking out my video! Rocket is by far my favorite character, other supports feel so stiff compared to his movement capabilities. Regardless of if I have 2 other supports or just 1 other, I typically play a more aggressive style with Rocket. Healbotting just doesn't necessarily fit Rocket as other healers do that much better than he can, and with his high damage I like to help the team by finding a balance between heals and damage. I've honestly just gotten use to saving my B.R.B for when people are right about to go down and throwing it right before they do. I just started liking that a little bit more than leaving it in a hidden spot because some divers actively look for the beacon or when my team pushes they can get out of range a lot. For his ult I typically use it to encourage a push or during a push. I try to avoid using it if the other team supports like Luna or Mantis are using ults tho. Hope this helps a little 😅
