Rocket stonks going up!
I'm so happy he got buffed. 😭
Aside from Adam, Loki and Rocket hardly got picked in ranked. I saw those characters maybe like once or twice every 5 games or so, despite the pick rates, especially for Rocket.
Now as for the buffs, they're not what I was hoping for, but I'll take what I can get!
1.Increased his healing orbs from 60 to 70. (Which is insane by the way, Rocket can already heal close to Luna/Dagger numbers if he has good positioning)
2.Ammo overload cooldown decreased from 45 to 40 seconds which is great for Winter Soldier/Punisher team up consistency.
Personally the buffs I wanted to see for Rocket would be
1.A charged shot for his heal, where he shoots a giant orb that heals for the amount of ammo consumed. He lacks burst heal or alternate healing, which all the other strats have but the orb buff should definitely increase his healing output immensely now.
- Separate his armour packs from BRB, making them its own ability and maybe buffing them to giving 30/40 shields so its actually viable for utility.
All in all I'm just happy they gave him any kind of love as he definitely is a sleeper pick in terms of damage/healing output as well as utility.
