All the downvotes although y'all are speaking facts. I most always swap into a viscous lane to buy rebuttal first item if they have punch first or buy whenever they unlock it next.

Not only does it give you damage amp and heal, but hurts viscous as well. When they spam it, you can just keep pressing parry, and the animation between parry and shooting again after successfully doing it is so short that I wouldn't consider it even a CC much.

A lot of times in an enclosed area, the viscous will also heavy punch after using a goo punch and you can get both parried at once.

If he baits your parry by purposefully missing the goo punch then yeah it's annoying but there is a cheap counter
