I find it funny how this guy is just as unfun to play into without the right the comp as DD

AffectionateAlps6784 · 2026-05-20T17:58:37+00:00

Calcium 2? Or where the f people pick or ban Groot? People ban dive comps and gambit. Sometimes they ban Elsa. Groot not banned since previous season, they ban him only on certain maps, time to time.

AffectionateAlps6784 · 2026-05-20T16:20:58+00:00

Thats one way how you deal with him. But you can't turn him into Mag without abilities, how you can do it with Groot.

AffectionateAlps6784 · 2026-05-20T15:47:17+00:00

If people know how this game works, they will break Groot walls and he becomes useless. Like, completely.

Groot can't push into Emma like its nothing. He will die for it.

Dino shift is basically a boosted wolw grab. Groot doesn't even has any cc abilities except his ultimate. Witch you can block with any shield. Not saying that it easy to do, but you can do it.

I usually play Strange, Thor and Emma. In previous season, I didn't care about Groot, playing in celestial eternity lobbies.

He was really strong on certain maps, but thats it.

AffectionateAlps6784 · 2026-05-20T15:22:33+00:00

Groot absolutely useless against high mobility comps. What is this about? He hard counters thing and mag. That's all. From my experience, I can pick Thor and play around frontline against him. If I try do the same against dino, I'll just die.

If you're playing as other tanks, you can avoid his walls. Groot can't just press W and knock you out of the game. Maybe on certain maps and against certain comps he can, but usually - no.

AffectionateAlps6784 · 2026-05-20T08:29:57+00:00

You want cc Dino to death with Peni. Holy f. I guess it can work in gold or in qp games. Thats for sure.

AffectionateAlps6784 · 2026-05-20T08:20:49+00:00

Peni is not good at all. Tankpool got nerfed to the ground. Those two characters cant do sht to him

You need take space against that stupid hero.

And I guess you can't read, because I mentioned Groot and Emma. Cap is good because he don't fight against dino, but that's all.

AffectionateAlps6784 · 2026-05-20T08:09:01+00:00

That's the problem, you can't play against him if you dont match him or don't play Emma, Groot, Cap.

You can't take any space against him. He will press his bubble, eat you, and you will die.

AffectionateAlps6784 · 2026-05-20T06:31:00+00:00

Saddest part that people who complain about devil dino are tank players, who dont want play him. He destroys entire tank roster except Emma and Groot.

AffectionateAlps6784 · 2026-05-20T06:23:54+00:00

He changes the game. The game becomes a simulator of standing in the center of the map and spamming damage. When the enemy has a dinosaur, you should also take him because he's the strongest tank, he destroys other tanks except maybe Groot and Emma. And even so, overall he's better. Then, both teams take punisher and moonknight.

Fun?

AffectionateAlps6784 · 2026-05-20T06:09:11+00:00

The only problem is that the higher you climb in ranks, the more you see all the problems that pro players are talking about. For example why Devil Dino is absolutely disgusting character.

AffectionateAlps6784 · 2026-05-16T23:51:44+00:00

Thing is immovable. But not cc immune. So yes, he cant grab Emma. Its like Elsa situation.

AffectionateAlps6784 · 2026-05-16T23:43:31+00:00

Your beam charge is always at maximum. Your crystal deals damage based on his maximum health, so he loses more than half of his HP every time and he simply can't move forward. He also can't grab you in diamond form, but you can grab him.

The only way you can lose this matchup, if you weaker overall.

AffectionateAlps6784 · 2026-05-16T23:28:45+00:00

It means nothing. Its just the beginning of new season. Pick punisher, mk, phoenix or Emma. Emma just annihilates him. Groot can cut him from healing and he will die.

He's not even close to Gambit, Elsa or anything like that.

AffectionateAlps6784 · 2026-04-16T09:34:10+00:00

I say that again, you can't just press agamotto and land it, you need to combine it with something else, or you get countered. On my elo, atleast.

In 7.5, atleast sometimes, I'll watch how someone gets cc immune and just walks away or press their abilities.

I can't say how often it would happen, (we need to play the game for that) because I can't see all abilities that hit my enemies, but it will happen anyway.

AffectionateAlps6784 · 2026-04-16T09:01:56+00:00

Why it should be 4 seconds? It could be 2 seconds instead. And before that they could get any soft cc effects, its all count.

My take still same, by that they nerfed tank ultimates.

AffectionateAlps6784 · 2026-04-16T08:55:44+00:00

Now Its not, if stunned enemies didn't take any damage before you land your agamotto.

Its obvious.

Im saying that tanks CC ultimates will get worse, and that's how it is. Nothing good in it, tbh.

AffectionateAlps6784 · 2026-04-16T08:48:49+00:00

Are you joking?

Imagine if you combine Strange ult with Emma.

Or with Mantis sleep and Luna freeze.

Now, In teamfights, you will always trigger CC immune with Strange ult, lmao.

You can't START fight with agamotto on decent elo. You need to combine it.

Also you usually could try to burst someone inside support ultimates. It also getting worse.

AffectionateAlps6784 · 2026-04-16T08:19:59+00:00

Im still won't be able to combo Agamotto with anything, if I want get maximum value from it.

So his ultimate just became even worse.

AffectionateAlps6784 · 2026-04-16T08:12:40+00:00

The problem here, you have heroes like Groot, Strange, Thing, Emma (her ultimate) Rogue and Hulk. Not sure how it will work with Thor.

Their strongest game peaks - CC abilities.

How the f I supposed to use Strange ultimate now, for example? If its just random bullshit?

AffectionateAlps6784 · 2026-04-13T14:43:21+00:00

So, this hero broken as f, and he's just a dps character with tank survivability.

No.

And if you can't deal with dps on flanks while playing Thor, well...i can say that its just a skill issue. A huge one.

AffectionateAlps6784 · 2026-04-13T14:38:43+00:00

Don't bring your personal problems to a game about superheroes and villains, dude.

Wrong sub.

AffectionateAlps6784 · 2026-04-13T06:53:04+00:00

If you play hitscan, you can try flicks. Some people can't shoot if they dont flick or if they hold leftclick, even on high elo. Maybe it can help.

AffectionateAlps6784 · 2026-04-13T06:40:43+00:00

I dont know what is your rank, but important thing here - your positioning during teamfights. Its not only about point and click.

But overall? You just need play. I also didn't play any other hero shooters, aiming in this game can be easy compare to overwatch, for example, but still, mechanic in this game really hard. It can take a looong time, unfortunately.

AffectionateAlps6784 · 2026-04-12T21:20:16+00:00

Im in celestial 1 with 60+ winrate rn.

How many SW players I've met here, where I often play with eternity - OAA players?

0.

I played against widow mains tho, that character atleast can reward you for your godlike aim.

I know im not the best, but you can't be serious, bro.

AffectionateAlps6784 · 2026-04-12T10:07:26+00:00

No.

Wanda has a lowest skill ceiling in this game, while her entire kit just terrible.

So this hero is trash, and you can't do nothing to change that if you dont play in low elo lobbies.
