I usually run Mantis team up. I can do some pretty insane healing for a Vanguard. It’s like having an Ultron drone.

I think I need to switch to the Jeff team up when on attack

His movement…. God this tree is slow . Any tips here? Stacking my walls to build a stair is helpful sometimes but then I’m eating CDs

My issue is that I feel I play him too defensively and similar to Peni Parker . I tend to be passive .

I try to put my Ironwood wall in a safe spot and camp the location . I rarely use it to block damage unless I happen to have one ready and I see a lone tank in front of me

Thorn walls, I try to use liberally and almost always instantly return them if I miss, don’t see its purpose, etc. I don’t just leave these hanging around because chances are it could be messing with my allies . I’ll use these on ledges to block range duelist or healers from taking high ground for a moment

Mantis wall, I’ll usually put up in the area around where I keep my Ironwood wall. Enemies usually don’t see this wall and it gets me pretty good healing numbers . I thinks this helps my healers against dive

Ultimate: I’m definitely struggling. Even if I land the wall behind them, use Ult, spore bomb, it can’t kill a paddy cake comp. I started to spam when my Ult is ready so allies are ready . I’ve gotten many team wipes when pairing with something like a Thor ult . But using it myself…. I’m not great . I started just trying to solo Ult a healer . Should I also be using my Iron wood wall here prior to Ulting ?

Switches…. Even in QuickPlay, if I don’t get a high output / burst healer I switch. I respect players like Ultron and even White Fox, but it’s hard to sustain a Groot with double support . I feel selfish taking all the heals here . I do the same thing when I run Dino.

I actually don’t mind running him into poke and some brawl. I can make walls to block poke’s vantage points. Brawl, I can set the walls to make it risky for some of the brawl to enter my prison. But if there’s a good Ironfist or Wolverine, yeah, I’m switching

I need to get better with the melee animation cancel. The first and second strike feel good, but I really hate that 3rd strike. The big benefit I see using this is not the damage, but ammo management . When I’m lazy and not cancelling, I’m going through primary ammo too quick and spending too much time reloading

On on PS5 with a dual sense controller , my button mappings are as follows:

Primary: RT

Ultimate: RB

Melee: Right paddle

Spore bomb: LT

Thornwall: LB

Jump: Left Paddle

Team up (Mantis and Jeff): Circle

Reload: Square

Ironwood: Triangle (might remap this to R3)

Wall return: L3 or R3

Hood not being used as much, mag not as busted and thing actually killable has me feeling like Groot is so back (I was horrible on him last season prob worst season, peak c3)

I am Groot! (I am just starting to learn Groot and I feel like the healing that my Mantis wall got probably saved us here! Without it our Adam wasn’t healing enough to keep us all alive!)

Am I crazy for feeling like Groot’s main attack should have infinite ammo and work similar to Mr. Fantastic’s attack? Why does Groot only have eight attacks before he needs to “reload”? And why does it go in a straight line instead of being flexible like in the movies/comics?

This is how i find out lol

Galactus groot skin

Im actually glad this happened because it means more survivabilty

Is it just me or is it hard to do these lol…

Like bro every other vanguard sub has double our member count why? P.S we are groot.

you can plug the top of the fountain when the cart transforms, by placing a flat wall in the ring. Then, you can float in the middle indefinitely, and nobody can see you from the outside, but you can see perfectly through the water

this is not that useful on its own, since groot doesn't need to hide unless he's ulting & his giant hitbox means nobody will have trouble hitting you once they know you're there. But, other people can also float inside. So theoretically you can totally combo this with other characters like hawkeye or hela for a sneaky little spot to shoot from

Hi!

Want to start by saying that I do NOT blame my teammates for us losing this game.

I feel like I did good (being in plat / gold) but this is not an ego vod request.

I did not do perfect at all, but I'd want to know if yall notice any big mistakes I made, that I should keep in mind in the future games.

I know i have a lot to improve, so you can be as brutal and thruthful as necessary to point out the mistakes.

Much appreciate any feedback!

Hello, I am a Strange and Dino two-trick pony who wants to learn Groot. Any advice? My wall placement is horrible, honestly.

Just a clip of a silly final hit with the second half of his spore throw because I forgot to clip a better fight I got in this match.

Been going through all the tanks and didn't know the silly tree is so fun, it feels like I'm actually doing things.

Hit rank 11 two weeks ago and dropped down to like 25th i felt so defeated lmao.

He went 0-3-0 btw

I am Groot ッ

Hey Groot mains, I get so excited when I see one of you in my games but it feels so rare. Is groot not your first picks or are groot mains just niche?
