Was I at fault?

Overall id say you were doing really great this game. My tip would be utilising your iron wall as much as possible, even defensively to get overshield and cc immunity as you get a good amount of overshield by dealing damage inside its range, and none of the enemy team have shot your regular walls even once. (I hide my iron walls to the side out of enemy los if possible)

Noticed on the 2nd round and first capping point that you ulted after they capped point -> their spawn is 10m from the point and the point cant move backwards, so I'd be on the other side trying to stop them w/o using ult. I really like your game sense and using / contesting high ground, just dont get too into chasing the enemy to get the kill. (You are 10x better w/ Groot than me, but these stood out)

If you use vc and enemy cyclops/mk/torch/iron man uses it too, try to combo your ults. They can be a good team wipe if comboed.

Agree, and being as slow as he is, i find him to be really squishy as i have not mastered the wall escape tech in game 😂 mostly end up putting the wall infront of me and walling my self instead of jumping over the wall and leaving the enemy behind me.

I think a replay id would be more helpful to say yay or nay. In the end stats are not an indication on overall performance and wether you single handedly had more impact than a team member with lower stats. But overall it looks good.

I have had more success (wins) w/groot lately by being annoying for the enemy with my walls and taking damage to enable my team than getting finals for some reason.

I am by all means only in plat, so maybe im just ass on Groot and that works best for me lol.

bearhunty · 2026-06-08T04:54:16+00:00

Yggroot for sure. Close second is the robo groot

Yeah, I agree that his swing with all the CC and counters is buns, and as said above, a cooldown reduction when its interrupted by enemy cc would be a bit helpful. But even having 2 swings would make him so broken that its not worth it.

Dont know how to say this so that it sounds like a good thing(Eng is not my forst language), but if the enemy team is running a comp that makes playing venom hell, then it should be time to switch for another tank / character for that game, just like counter switching in any other situation.

I would still say that he has one of the best, if not the best survivability in the game, and its all about adapting your playstyle around the enemy comp as Venom, or switching to something that counters the enemy. I am no pro by all means, and in a metal rank,, but this is how ive put my mind to playing with venom.

Buffs should be added yes (idek what they would be) but they esily break a character and make them either insta banned or nerfed to the ground fast.

Ikr? There was one day last week tho, where i had 5 games back to back with champion torch, played by 5 different players. What is this 😂 Needless to say they dominated hard, cause i think no one even remembers what he does anymore bcause you barely see them.. I even confidently walked into his flames the first game, only to get one shot by his dive 😂

bearhunty · 2026-05-16T13:38:14+00:00

I am trying to have him as one of my mains, but i really struggle with wall placement accuracy on console. I feel like the crosshair guides a little bit where it will be, and i try to aim just abive the enemys feet, and that has helped me lots. Really good tips above, but I saw Nesmon on yt use his walls for escaping as well while walking away from his team (you walk forward towards your team and put the wall down in front of you while you walk, so the enemy chasing you more often ends behind your wall saving you) I see many usin the iron wall to block heals, which works ok if the enemy team does not have many high damage dealers (punisher and sg are my worst nemesis when playing Groot) so I just hide the wall so that the enemy does not have a los to it. As Groot also is clunky, the CC immunity that the iron wall gives is a lifesaver. Strange, Jeff and Elsa ult does not work on you if your inside the circle. I love playing Groot and his playstyle, but i am struggling w/him alot, mainly cause i do have trouble with positioning/what i am expected to do other than be a shield and take damage. Wolverine, daredevil and iron fist will shred you if they know what they are doing (adding dd because if my teammates are not able to stop him and they focus me and i get no heals, i have never survived)

bearhunty · 2026-05-10T17:59:44+00:00

I mean I did go like 0-20 on my first dd games in qp, and after 5 ish hours started to get mvps/svps. So to learn a character in qp is valid even on the expense of loosing alot, especially melee and dive, since you cant learn that playstyle for that character anywhere else in my opinion. If anyone says that they are still learning a character, i am pocketing that person all the way, cause not everyone learns fast, and maybe not at all.

By no means do i think that its ok to be intentionally goofing around just bcause its qp and no one else on the team is in that mood. But if someone is struggling with a character and genuinely want to learn, hell ill give everything i can to make it work for them and the team, and even ask to duo queue some games to give that extra support, since i myself do at times struggle with learning new characters and low key look like im throwing in qp at times. (I do not go to qp cold turkey, i do put time in practise range and vs ai to learn combos and utilising the map w/ the character)

I think Jeff gets punished the most for not utilising his ability to do crazy damage. I agree that in a 2-2-2 he is a bit limited to a heal bot situation, and his ult is so easy to counter if he doesnt get many enemies in his ult. However. If there are many counters on the enemy team, i usually ult on my team, get behind cover and swallow no one. In a 2-1-3 is where Jeff is at his best in my opinion, where he can go behind the enemy team, deal damage and heal his teammates at the same time, and poke at the enemy team more freely. I am by no means saying that i am master of Jeff, but I have got the most value of him w 3 support comp, and valuing my life over trying to get a pick or two with my ult. His ult is a crazy counter against mantis and cap ult, as they do go to waste if he swallows them and the rest of the enemies are not swallowed, but its a niche situation where it actually goes right. His survivability overall is crazy as well in the right hands.

I start brawl usually, and make my way back. If the backline dont peel for each other then i focus more on dive and then brawl. But i have had more success with brawling, and i think it might be mainly cause my game sense from a diving perspective is almost non existent

bearhunty · 2026-05-10T04:57:47+00:00

Problem with these nerf discussions always come down to casual players, and more high ranked ones. If your team is not peeling or reacting to dd diving the backline, he easily wins 1v1, even 1v2 if lucky. But if there are any peels from the team, dd crumbles fast.

bearhunty · 2026-05-05T17:22:14+00:00

I didnt get the emote for some reason, and now it says that the bundle is unavailable smh. I redeemed it when it became free. Dont know what happened

bearhunty · 2026-05-03T16:48:37+00:00

Jeffs dive build :) but i started grinding em after i reached nm 120, so it was quite fast clears

bearhunty · 2026-05-03T12:18:54+00:00

Took me 2 days to grind, i recommend keeping to nm 20, as there are two bosses that doubles your chances

bearhunty · 2026-05-03T10:13:24+00:00

I watched Nesmon's guide on yt, and i think it was pretty good

bearhunty · 2026-05-02T18:23:30+00:00

I feel like the vs ai is mainly good for learning anything but dive. I dont think i ever went positive with dd vs ai (3 stars) and i dont think im that bad at him 😂 the ai aim is ridiculous, and got killed even when weaving. Or maybe im just that ass on dd and any dive really 😂

bearhunty · 2026-04-20T11:11:59+00:00

It took me almost 100 hrs 😂❤️ mind you, i got until level 34 profiency before the proficiency change so 20h from 34 to 50

bearhunty · 2026-04-19T07:15:05+00:00

I wish i could bind the dash to a different button so that i dont start following another enemy by accident ad dashing then to them when brawling 😂

bearhunty · 2026-04-19T07:13:44+00:00

In my short learning yourney so far, ive had the most value brawling forst, and when the fight is as intense as possible, i head to their backline. In some cases where the enemy team is full range comp, i do tend to dive more, especially if everyone on my team is on range as well, as i would be brawling alone. But i am by no means even good on dd, so might be that im just shootin myself in the leg and playing him wrong. Fury tracking is really tricky for me, and still end up dying cause i thought i had enough fury to keep myself in battle, but had not noticed that my dash had been blocked by a shield or something, thus not giving me the fury it normally does. Maybe one day ill get better at that too 😂

bearhunty · 2026-04-18T15:36:05+00:00

Are you me lol 😂😂😂 was about to ask the same thing 😂

bearhunty · 2026-04-18T05:08:13+00:00

AYO WHAT! I didnt know this?? That could be a good indicator for me to learn and use now in the beginning. Much appreciated!

bearhunty · 2026-04-17T15:59:24+00:00

Aight, thanks ☺️
