Stop Using Rocket Raccoon In 2 Healer Comps

[Shuyin178]

You do nothing but handicap your team every single game that you lock Rocket in during 2 healer comps.
The reason is very simple, lack of a second defensive ultimate to keep your team alive.
Rocket's orb healing is good, but it's not saving your team from enemy ultimates. Rocket's ultimate is not going to save your team from Doctor Strange's ultimate, it's not going to save your team from Moon Knight's ultimate (giving your team time to escape the AOE), it's not going to help your team survive Psylocke's ultimate, it's not going to help your team survive Storm's ultimate, it's not going to help your team survive Punisher's ultimate, it's not going to help your team survive Star-Lord's ultimate, it's not going to help your team survive Winter Soldier's ultimate, it's not going to help your team survive Groot's ultimate.
You are handicapping your team's survivability during fights every single time you play Rocket Raccoon in 2 healer comps.

There have been countless times I've lost matches because my team did not have a second defensive ultimate that would have allowed us to turn the fight. The only times this season I have won matches with a Rocket Raccoon in a 2 healer comp is because the enemy team had a Rocket Raccoon in a 2 healer comp. That is not an exaggeration. Even I have tried to use Rocket in 2 healer comps, and have made the intelligent decision to not do it again because of the reasons I have stated already.

Rocket can work in 3 healer comps just fine, but not in 2 healer comps. Stop gimping your team. Your "Total Healing" at the end of a lost match means nothing short of stroking your own ego and gaslighting yourself into believing you were not the problem when it was your fault your team lost due to the lack of a 2nd defensive ultimate that would have turned the match into your team's victory.

Last I checked, it's my choice as to who I want to play as unfortunately.

If you want a specific set up, you're going to have to get some friends who also want it or something simular to it.

If you are unable to ban both Luna and CnD during the pregame phase, you deserve all the bad times you get. Can't wait for them to be nerfed to see the endless tears of metaslaves.

It doesn't even matter who is banned though.
Rocket does not work in 2 support comps period. Mantis still exists as an option, Invisible Woman still exists as an option, Loki is an option because of his AOE field BASIC ABILITY that can save more allies than Rocket's ultimate, even Jeff is an option because he can technically ult his own team to save them (I've seen it, and it's funny). Adam is not really an option, and honestly suffers from the same issue Rocket does, but at least Adam has damage reduction for his team to help them survive something and can revive them if things do go south.

Rocket is good when your team is good. If they keep standing in ultimates and grouping up too much against ults that kill groups that's a spacing and situational awareness problem not a healing problem. When your deaths trickle out slowly because your team is good rocket is the best healer in the game because anytime somebody dies you bring them right back and you always have a full team. His ult is for taking points not defending them. I will continue to play rocket in GM2 regardless of if you like it.

I would agree as a Loki main that I dont like playing with Rocket, most of them just go into heal bot mode in my rank. When I get to play with a Luna or Cloak it's soo much easier to win the game. I do need to play more Rocket though, with Loki it's important to know the other characters If I dont I could be throwing when I copy them.

Vent post clearly lmao. Its ok that you suck with him

His Ult is excellent for taking points and hard pushes.
I've lost count how many times it's helped overcome a hard stall at the end of Shibuya or Yggdrasil.
Killing the enemy team > keeping your team alive (in those situations)

ALSO if people actually focus characters you can overcome Luna's healing; this is even easier with Rocket's Ult.

People have to "healbot" with Rocket most times because people literally just stand out in the open and at low health trying to attack instead of focusing on being alive.

It's obviously NOT a vent post. He gave many examples to support his take on Rocket. While you said nothing other than calling him a noob.

[Nihil]

Haha how funny to see how all the DPS kiddos are crying about people not picking the healer they want them to pick but doesn't even get to the point to realizhe, they could just pick one of the favored healers themselves.

If you are so fixated on what healers you want, go play that healer. Otherwise be thankful that someone is willing to keep you suicide butt alive.

All the examples revolve around being a meta slave and using crutch ults. Maybe your team should have better positioning so they aren't immediately wiped out by a single AoE ult. Good players are good players regardless of meta. The dood even identifies himself as a C&D main, totally no biased at all...

How is keeping your team alive meta slaving? Did I say "Every team should be 3 strategiests"? No, all I said was Rocket is useless in 2 healer comps because he lacks a defensive ultimate that could save the team and allow a win.
Stop being delusional and trying to twist things to fit your fantasy.

If a Luna is easily focused to death through her ult, she is a bad Luna. She should be constantly on the move and hopping around to become has hard to hit target as possible.
