Summary

Rocket Raccoon's rework has been live in Marvel Rivals since Season 2 started.
Many Rocket mains aren't happy with the changes, saying it's made him even more of a healbot.
Others argue that this was a much-needed change to make Rocket harder to play.

168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Marvel Rivals Season 2 kicked off last week, adding 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Emma Frost to the roster. However, it also made a series of ba✱lance ꦰchanges, and one of them in particular has frustrated fans.

Yes, I'm talking about the 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Rocket Raccoon reworks. Even before the changes went live, 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:players were upset to see that Rocket was being tweaked to, presumably, bring him more in line with other strategists. Now, his ultimate does much less damage boosting (25 percent, down from 40 percent) and also heals teammates. On top of that, he has reduced mobility, thanks to his jet pack's cooldown going from six seconds to ten seconds. He does at least get a slight healing buff, but only if he hits an ally directly, as the area of effect has been nerfeꦆd🃏.

So, how does 🍰this feel in practice? Well, according to Rocket mains, he just feels like healbot now.

Rocket Mains In Marvel Rivals Aren't Happy With His Season 2 Changes

"Everyone accused Rocket of being a healbot before, but now he's more of a healbot than EVER," says Reddit user Thopterthallid. "Maybe worst of all is now his ultimate is just another reactive ultimate as opposed to a proactive and strategic ဣone. Not only that, it's the only 'my team is now invincible' ult that anyone can disable just by shooting the beacon."

Many others agree. "They really might as well rename 🍸'strategist' to 'healer' at this point," says RoyalRat "The strategy with Rocket is certainly dead,

"I really loved Rocket’s playstyle before. Our tanks and DPS didn’t need to worry about me. I was safely hidden, bouncinಌg heals from cover, doing my job without disrupting the flow of th💞e fight," says Altruistic-Check5579. "Now? He’s just standing out in the open, trying to heal while being an easy target."

That said, there are many players who are relieved to see these changes. They argue that the nerf to the area of effect healing means that Rocket requires m🅘ore skill now, rather than being able to healbot from a distance with no risk.

"Now that the healing is ﷽buffed I can actually use my weapon and get kills without my team dying," argues ValhallaAtcha🦋Boy. "Not to mention really go crazy when we're enjoying the amplifier."

"I think he plays now more like the devs originally intended," DamianKilsby agrees. "I don't think he was really supposed to be able to mindlessly fire orbs in the direction o෴f their team from the other side of the map."

Of course, it's only been a few days. We'll have to wait anꦐd see how these changes affect Rocket's stats in the long run, and if NetEase ඣmakes further changes to address the feedback.
