Rocket Raccoons hitbox for his head is massive

[Jim the Gardener]

Been playing him to grind out achievements and he gets absolutely railed by hawkeye and hela. 1 shot all day because of his massive ♥♥♥♥♥♥ head. As a champ himself he just gets eaten alive. His healing is fine, but not great. I guess if your team is grouped up and his buffs are fine at best. Wish he was a bit better and not so susceptible to headshots.

Yeah it's nuts. Shooting him in the chest hits him in the head. Most of my deaths as him are from headshots because his head hitbox is like 30% of this body.

Rocket is a great healer. He has a similar hitbox like Jeff that is countered simply by being a shorter, smaller, skittish character that can climb and make himself a harder target. You're supposed to use your first dash to get to a wall, then the 2nd to instantly climb or horizontally cross the length of a wall at more than double the distance the dash would normally have made you go. His heal does 60hp over 2 seconds and takes those 2 seconds to finish the heal over time. Shooting additional heal orbs while the first orb is in effect does not restart the 2 seconds to heal so essentially his playstyle is much like the other healers, shoot orb and weave in damage every 2 seconds. His BRB is great for getting a teammate back in quickly so the enemy pick does nothing, and his ultimate is a whopping 40% damage boost for your team, higher than mantis' 17.2%. Aside from that if you want to play safer and be more defensive to avoid the enemy you can bounce the heals on walls to heal the team without line of sight if you know what you are doing.

Doesn't matter how much you move, your head is huge, your tail makes your hitbox wide, and Hela is in almost every game who easily kills him because of her big projectiles and his giant head.

God every single time you reply to me in a thread you're just making excuses as to why you lose or get killed lol. Rocket is one of the hardest supports to take out unless you just hold right click in the back line instead of using your jet pack and crawling on walls and sht

Lmfao dude is squishy as all ♥♥♥♥. "hardest" support to take out is pretty funny. He gets rinsed by anyone that can aim properly, regardless of movement.

Yeah if you stand still down mid spamming right clicks. You want to rotate between using jet pack and crawling on walls and floating in the air for a bit and then holding off angles and sht. I rarely get taken out by hawkeyes unless I'm asking for it by standing in the open or if they're cracked asf.

At least Jeff can go underground, get faster, have wallclimb, selfheal and become the hardest to hit thing in the game while doing it.
Rocket can just dash with his tail stretching out behind him which makes him a very wide and easy to hit target, and wallclimb while remaining the same size and typically dies to characters like Hela while doing it.
