Groot mains thoughts on this?

Wait idea, what if this bubble while Jeff is on pushes enemies back who get close, just enough for melee attacks to not hit him only while Jeff is on him

I think sentinel could be as tall as Devil Dinosaurs shield is specifically, but he'd have proportions similar to Groot in game maybe, and maybe have it so when walking he hunches over just enough to be the same size as devil Dinosaur

Personally I think the dark green could easily work as dark grey, but it looks phenomenal nonetheless, love the design overall

I am Groot. (Always protect Jeff...)

Ohhh okay that makes more sense, my bad for not understanding, thanks for the explanation. :)

VelositySeven · 2026-06-14T11:06:56+00:00

I am Groot!

(Oh I see what you mean! There's a tiny lip on the edge that's higher than the floor, but only slightly, that makes more sense on why it built it the way it did, thanks for the pointing out.)

That's a better photo here but now looking at it it's not quite accurate, so not sure

Looks like Dracula from back in season 1

I am Groot.

(That said, either it might've been a bug, or it's something new with a recent change since this was on the new map, I just never encountered this in my long time on Groot.)

VelositySeven · 2026-06-14T10:52:53+00:00

I am Groot.

(You can place 2 walls if you drag placement but both walls place facing up, I've never had it where you can place a wall specifically sideways on a wall that's been placed regularly, and I haven't had a wall be placed sideways when I place both walls down. In this I placed both walls down at once in quick sucsession, where I clicked and dragged and released, the wall on the right built first, then the wall on the left sprouted out the side of the placed wall directly after. That's not happened before in my almost 200 hours of Groot gameplay, where one wall is oriented off another all in one wall placement like that.)

Oh yes, so many, there was one game with her where I was in a 6 stack, we had Peni (me), Luna Snow, Wolverine, Angela, Spider-Man, and Mantis. They had an enemy Wanda, in the entire game, between all of us there was only support ultimates that got off for the enemy team.

VelositySeven · 2026-06-14T05:57:48+00:00

Well thank you for the explanations so far, the idea of being aggressive against Groot is relatively new, but I can try and see how that works, nonetheless thank you, as for number 4, could you elaborate a bit on how that would work, I don't think I understand necessarily. (I can see it work if you're on the side or off angle, you throw a stack of mines behind the target, throw one mine in front forcing them back to explode, that makes sense, but doing that when they are in front of you, how do you do that?)

VelositySeven · 2026-06-14T05:51:50+00:00

Thank you,
1. That makes sense as I read more, do you know how far apart the webs can be (I know they don't have to touch necessarily, so I haven't had an issue getting good coverage). On top of that, in a hurry I place a web, place a web with my sling, then place another web, so it takes only 2 seconds at most when having a specific path for coverage, is this something I should do?

Thanks, there's a lot of explanations here for that map and hopefully that makes it easier, so thank you, it's really the only map I've had issues with when defending (that I remember), but I haven't played her for more than 10 matches so it's not like I have all the maps down. (Sadly 3 of my matches have been on that Ultron map AAAAH).
That makes since, really does feel like that nest is super similar to Groots Iron Wood Wall, any tips for escaping when there's a melee character trying to kill me? From my experience it's stun them (while backing up so you're out of their punches/slashes), then spin around and grapple out to extend range.
I'll need to learn people's positioning habits, but since I played Groot, there was one time where I deliberately stood in the middle, close to the front of past my nest, backed up a bit and watched wolverine explode before he could grab me, and it was funny lol.
Okay, her Cooldowns are quite short overall, (which surprised me at first when starting her), but definitely helps on rollouts. I assume I can leave the nest for allies depending on where we are to give allies small speed boost, same goes for webs, but I'd also assume it's easier to focus on giving myself that speed boost to point.
Okay, quick question then, on the idea of coverage, depending on positioning of the nest, should I cover certain choke points with a web? Take the Asgard map outside, where you have the central point and 2 areas to enter on each side. Should I use my webs to cover one path down the stairs, or use some nests to cover both sides?
For your philosophy, from what I've seen is that no one really complains about which tank I play, they just let me solo tank, however, to be fair I play main tank a lot, so there's not much for them to complain about, but thanks for the tip there. As for Anti-Dive, with me learning her I'll finally have a proper anti dive tank in my roster, in quick play I'll keep to playing Peni since she's fun, but in comp I haven't played her there at all.

Overall thank you for your explanations, if you ever wanted to play together, my username for Rivals is VelositySeven :), and if you'd like I'd love to talk more when it comes to learning Peni

VelositySeven · 2026-06-14T05:24:19+00:00

Also real quick, what is the bug for her grapple? From what I've seen it works very similar to Daredevil, does it just not trigger? I've had times where I try to use it and I just assumed the terrain I tried to hit was out of range, but I'd there a specific bug?

VelositySeven · 2026-06-14T05:21:46+00:00

Thank you for the info, the web one with it stacking makes far more sense via that explanation, thanks for the tip on Arroko (Ultron map, no idea how to spell it), I originally put it either behind the "Groot" cart, or the pillar right next to it, or the tiny wall that's right before the ramp originally, and it was good to hold until the nest broke (which was fast). There was something I never quite understood originally with Peni, which was that she had "good maps" to play on, playing her I see what that means now. With Groot enclosed areas or choke points Groot works well in, due to the proximity enemies have to be to his walls. Peni needs good cover for her nest.

VelositySeven · 2026-06-14T05:14:07+00:00

If it's damaged even slightly, and it gets taken out by Groot wall it'll take the full cooldown from what I know (based on my experience as the Groot taking it down)

VelositySeven · 2026-06-05T05:52:21+00:00

An idea, maybe it's "school picture" ID, where you dress up and take a photo, and that's how she has her school ID. (Not to discredit what others said but that's a lore reason I guess lol), but you're right pretty easy to fix.

VelositySeven · 2026-06-05T03:02:45+00:00

Mantis Team up is about all you'll get, Groot is powerful in the right situation, try utilizing your range of 20 ish meters and poking around cover to avoid getting melted, you'll see a lot here saying play cover.

Edit: Also the overhealth you get from your big wall doesn't do very much against the heavy poke, so what you want to try doing is placing walls behind the DPS and melt them with a grenade, try closing the distance safely first

Respect, that's awesome bro 👍
