No damage Rocket challenge

[Polarcrest]

Just stop....seriously stop it. One guy did it and now all you idiots want to do the same.

I'm beyond sick of having Rockets (or even other healers) that have NO damage. That is just dumb. Support can all do amazing damage while getting heals. If you are a Rocket and not doing damage, you are screwing your team over. When an enemy gets away with a sliver of HP, you are the reason that happened.

skill issue,i pick rocket to challenges and is op just healing

Anyone who does this and/or encourages this sort of playstyle on healers deserves a ban.

When you don't use a character's kit to 100%, you're wasted space.

Absolutely. In fact, I've started to report any healers that does this. I doubt they get banned for it, but it's absolutely throwing. Supports in Marvel are better than in Overwatch and everyone wants to play them because they can actually do great damage. Teams NEED that extra bit. They need healers that defend themselves.

That's the other thing, if you are a rocket, and are being chased around by a dps or tank in the back and refusing to do damage, you are wasting time. You could kill that dps, then return to healing but because you want to do some stupid challenge, you throw the match. That is gamethrowing and we should all begin reporting them.

People complain when we do either way. If you deal damage, you need to heal more. If you have plenty of heal points, you need to do more damage. Even if you are fairly balanced at this, people will blame their supports for everything.
The game itself is fun, but its filled with miserable people who are never satisfied. Y'all are shining examples of this.

It's the internet. If you expect everyone to be nice, you need more happy pills.

Also, I've NEVER heard someone complain to a healer to deal more damage. You're just making a claim for the sake of an argument you don't have.

The game is fun, but it's filled with people who exclaim 'Fun first!' when their actions tend to lean more towards throwing than 'fun'.

It's a competitive game. Winning is the goal. Winning is fun. If you are purposefully playing in a manner that hinders your team - not playing your character 100% - you're throwing and deserve a ban.

And other people are sick having people like you in the game who wants to tell everyone how to play.
You want healers to damage. And then there comes the other smarta** and is sick of healers damaging and not healing.
Beat each other about that issue

Good thing you are not someone who has the power to ban anyone. This is a game and not your little kingdome. If you want people to play in such seriousness, search for people you can form a premade group.

It's the internet and online gaming. If you expect everyone to play like you want, you need more chill pills.

Dude!! Literally this entire thread is about that. OP complaining exactly about that. You don't even have to move your eyes or fingers to have the 1st example

Just gonna play a lil devils advocate, but rocket is good at healing multiple people at once alone to the point where you could dominate with heals with only one healer as rocket.
This allows for an extra of the other character types which allow for significantly more damage to be done.
I usually can support an entire team alone and quite easily as a single rocket with no other healers cuz of aoe healing.
And finally, rockets ultimate allows for everyone else to do significant damage to the point where the rocket doesnt even need to chip in (unless everyone is fully healed)

Rocket is top 3 support if you ask anyone GM+

He also has one of the best winrates of all the heroes currently.

Cloak and Luna are the only better options, maybe an argument can be made for invisible woman too but a good rocket will always outperform a good invis woman.

Luna is almost always banned and i've seen people start to ban cloak too which gives even more creedance to raccoon. His beacon is underrated AF, you can trade 1 for 1 and still come out winning because of the res.

His heals aren't as fast but he can constantly shower his team in orbs and if rocket knows what hes doing he's aiming to maximize the time the orbs spend near allies. He also has infinite range so it's really helpful in dive comps or comps with flyers (Iron Man, Storm, etc)

His ult is also a huge equalizer when you're struggling to finish off kills and if timed right/placed correctly can almost always result in a winning fight.

His biggest strengths are probably within the triple support comp, and while pocketing a punisher (or bucky but infinite ammo works better with punisher).

I reached GM using only raccoon in the first week of the season on my main, essentially playing against Eternity and GM players from season 0 (I was plat 2 season 0 because I started playing a couple of days before season 1 started). I'm currently diamond 1 on my smurf using C&D only because I kept getting called a raccoon one trick lol

I barely do much damage on my Rocket. I lose too much if I die. But I will fight when I get opportunities to do so.

Rockets damage is pitiful if they’re not close to you though.

If I had the power to ban, I'd try and remind people that the best experience is in ranked. If people are griefing, report them. If someone gets enough reports, review the cases. If there's enough strong reason, dull out punishments. I'm not a tyrant, people are innocent until proven guilty.

I don't expect people to play how I do and how I want. I expect people to play with common sense and a desire to win in a competitive setting.
-If you go to a casino, I expect you to go there with an intent to win.
-If you play a came of Magic: The Gathering's Commander Format with me, I expect you to sit down and play to win.
-If you play a ranked game, I expect you to play with the goal of winning and improving.

Ya know... Common sense.

And, yes, you are correct! The first EVER time I've heard ANYONE complain about people straight up griefing is a forum post because in my games I report them and move on. I've also been lucky enough to not get a griefing Rocket in my games.

If you load up a competitive PvP game and you are not putting in 100% effort, you are either actively doing something such as a challenge or working toward an achievement...

... or you are throwing and deserve to be punished. Banned? Not exactly, unless you're a repeat offender. Maybe a forced number of games against bots. If you wanna meme, get in a 6-stack with like-minded people or play against bots.

If healers deal damage you complain that they don't heal, and if they only heal, you complain that they don't do damage. Make up your damn mind.

Or put yourself in the shoes of the healer, and see the struggle we have to go through.

Also cute, saying the same garbage as Timthetatman lmao

ENJOY THE FLARKING AMPLIFIER.

I am a healer main. I main Mantis and Loki.

One of them literally MUST attack at all times to be useful, while the other needs to hit his teammates.

Rocket is like Mantis. You yeet your orbs out and attack during some of your downtime. There is very little excuse to not actively attack on Rocket.
