Rocket ult needs a buff to keep up with other healers

[digstraightdown72]

his normal abilities aren't that bad but his ult is just so much worse than others

[digstraightdown72]

i kinda wished that rockets ult gave some explosion element, maybe giving allies aoe and extra damage for every hit almost like a brilliant behemoth from ror2

I'm the Rocket using the ult, i am the Rocket player getting yelled at by people.

I am saying the buff should happen to shut these nerds up that parrot what their bald streamer dude said about how Rocket is awful.

Either it needs small reduction for its energy cost, or something like +10% healing gained for players' affected by its damage boost. This would put his healing to +15% in total during ult (seasonal buff +5% and +10% from ability). It would still be worse than Luna's ult, but least it would have more usage. (Luna's ult being able to toggle both bonuses, healing or damage boost is still stronger.)

Then watch Dafrano play Rocket, made top 10 with rocket doing damage and healing.
The game I watched there was an enemy Punisher and every single time punisher used ult, Rocket dashed in and killed him.
And if he spotted an enemy healer just a little out of position he dived them and killed them.

Dafran is not your everyday player lol

Obviously not, dude is an exceptional top tier player. There are no noobs in celestial+ but this doesn't diminish the point. His Rocket play works as a great showcase on how to use the hero for best results.

I watched one fight of his too. Yes of course he defaults to RMB like mostly any strategist with their main heal ability but he also goes aggressively for opportunity kills. Dude casually dashed to a high ground where enemy Namor was lurking and single-handedly took him out with a well placed burst (two, sure, Namor shielded but it only prolonged the inevitable).

He doesn't push out huge totals on damage done but the damage he does is often times impactful by removing a player altogether. Meanwhile someone like Luna and CnD push chip damage that can typically be sustained by the opponent, Cloak shifts notwithstanding. If you just healbot yes it'll be nice for the frontline but there's more to the lil' raccoon.

too many defensive mains don't know how to play with Rocket trying to dictate how he plays

Healing ults are so strong, they literally put the game on hold for the duration. There is a reason why at high ranks the meta is 3 support ults.

Healing ults don't need nerfs, but the Terrible Trio of Luna, Cloak and Mantis need to be reviewed. Those three being a required 2-of is the problem.

Healing ults definitely need to be balanced - and I speak as a Strategist main.

- Luna could see her outrageous 12s duration reduced to 8s and it'd still be extremely powerful.
- C&D could see its healing effectiveness stack cap at 2-3 even if you can stack up to 4 times
- Invisible Woman could have her heal changed to a burst overheal, but no continuous healing while inside

I feel Mantis is fine even though it is a weaker Luna ult (but with the versatility of not locking Mantis)

Adam Warlock could definitely gain a buff instead though... The 100 HP revive is way too weak - rather than a flat 100 HP, perhaps a percentage-based revive amount would be better, something like 50-60% of a character's max health.

Of those that are left, probably the most I win button is Groot. This is a near-guaranteed value ult that can teamwipe a lot of the time. Psylocke is also pretty strong, but there's a little more counterplay to it since it at least doesn't instantly delete you like Moon Knight does (so you can save someone with something like a Magneto bubble).

'OH NO, GROOT ULTED-' Loki shift.

'OH NO, PSYLOKE IS ULT-' Haha, Loki shift.

:azyrranDab:

People shoot the rock above loki's healing to stop it.

Healer ults need to be toned down.

Id rather they nerf the other healers ults tbh, they change the way the match is played and not for the better.

Says the guys with 26 hours in the game. Your opinion doesnt matter. I was diamond in ow1 as healer and it took me harder to get gm in season 0. You can back to OW2 anytime we wont miss you.

OW2 is a dead game with severely botched character stats and fixed team composition, your rank in OW2 is irrelevant and meaningless

the only change i ask that it follows rocket via tether. it still can be destroyed and still has the same tether length for people around.

given his offensive style of character this would also be lore accurate
