Rocket racoon is useless

[Grizzly]

There is no reason to have a rocket over any other support.
Useless ult.
Somehow they end up with crazy healing but doesnt deal damage so we cant push any chokes.
Unlucky useless champ

Rocket is a strong Support. You just have no clue how to use him or have no clue how the game works and don't realize how much he is helping your team.

Thank you for letting the Steam forums know about it. We'll get right on changing that for.... Oh, It's just you.

[DaylightDemon]

there is actually a decent reason to have racoon: if you have a good punisher or bucky or both. the teamup especially with punisher is one of the strongest in the game. its essentially a low cooldown mini ult.

That's a lot of words to just say you don't know what Rocket does lol. If you're looking for damage from Rocket then you really should learn something about the game first.

[Coth]

he is literally THE best support if your team knows what they're doing

[Phantom Limb]

Bronze 3 take.

He's mostly a good pick only if your team isn't good enough to protect you against a dive comp. Also yes, Luna/Mantis/C&D are better in every other case as sustain.

I would give you a reward with hot take but i dont have any points anymore :(

if you have no hands and can only healbot then rocket racoon is the best option

He's an awful solo support, he's solid as a 2nd. Play him better. Get the high ground, climb walls to awkward angles you can't be hit. Also, he shreds up close. He's God tier if you have a good punisher or Bucky, and his ult is solid as long you you're not dumb and place it in the open.

3 supports is pretty solid with rocket such as Mantis, Adam Warlock and Rocket. 2 self rez + rocket rez. Mantis and Adam have problems with consistent healing so Rocket helps with this. Then they can concentrate on DPS and buffing.

He is the best right now but some people play him wrong

There are two powerful reasons to pick Rocket over other supports. I'm not saying he's better, but he's definitely not useless.

1. The beacon - There are situations in which the overwhelming priority is to avoid losing any one teammate, because that may snowball into a teamfight defeat and result in losing a point. Usually, this is in point defense. The beacon negates a single lucky pick from the other team, which can help hold a point for significantly longer.
2. Mobility - Rocket is probably the single hardest support to kill because of his excellent mobility. He can dash out of the way of the vast majority of offensive ults and outrun nearly anyone. This is good if you are struggling to stay alive in a match, and he's also good at chasing extremely mobile tanks that keep changing vertical levels like Thor or Venom.

He's got a couple of other advantages too, he does enormous damage close which is good at killing overextending tanks, but those are the big ones.

Not every support is meant to be copypaste of Luna. Rocket is awesome in teamups comps.
