You need a lot of firepower to shred through their beasty bodies. So if we were to call a hero anti-tank, logically, they should be a Duelist or another damage-heavy Tank, right? Well, players say, not really. Entitling Rocket Raccoon as \u201cBorderline Anti-Tank\u201d in their Reddit post, one Marvel Rivals player highlighted why our adorable raccoon is arguably the best counter to Vanguards\u2014and the community couldn\u2019t help but nod. All of his abilities, including his Bombard Mode weapon, are built to either help him or his teammates take down the strongest heroes in the game. \u201cNo joke he will shred any tank in 6 seconds as long as they\u2019re right in front of him,\u201d the post, with over 3,900 upvotes and counting, reads. \u201cThis also includes support killers such as Spider-Man and Ironfist. If you can\u2019t run, you can definitely fight. This is on top of being a great healer.\u201d Normally, you wouldn\u2019t expect a Strategist\u2019s primary firing weapon to be as effective as a Duelist or Vanguard in Marvel Rivals. But here\u2019s Rocket, defying all odds with his big, satisfying guns. \u201cThe rapid headshots feels like I\u2019m winning a jackpot,\u201d one relatable comment under the post reads. Besides decimating Vanguards and Duelists in close range, he can easily help destroy enemy utility, secure final hits on debuffed targets, and offer critical revives and health packs. His ultimate is usually considered weak, unlike other Strategists\u2019 \u201cinvincible\u201d ultimates. But when you\u2019re struggling against enemy tanks with three supports lingering around them, your team will definitely \u201cenjoy the amplifier.\u201d While he has always been known as an excellent healer, unfortunately, Rocket Raccoon\u2019s firepower is truly underrated. In fact, most Raccoon mains focus on pumping out healing bubbles to keep their teammates healthy. I often come across Raccoon players earning the highest heals achievement but, at the same time, a ridiculously low total damage(sometimes as low as zero) output in a match, which is such a waste of his true potential. As one comment explains, \u201cAlways get flamed for playing rocket in close quarters but he\u2019s literally wasted potential if you aren\u2019t melting tanks. Plus rockets should be shooting squids, peni nests and clones constantly.\u201d \u201cI love the Eye of Agamotto because it lets me line up my rotary cannon at their heads,\u201d a Rocket Raccoon main shared in a popular comment under the post. You can do the same with any crowd-control ultimate and grab a couple of valuable kills on stunned targets under your name. If you\u2019re a Strategist main and tired of dive heroes chasing you down, switch to Raccoon. Not only can you enjoy excellent mobility, but you can also just kill them with your powerful gun. If you\u2019ve got a Punisher or Winter Soldier on your team, please play Raccoon to give them the overpowered Ammo Overload team-up. And these are just a few examples of how valuable you can be with the Guardians of the Galaxy hero. So, the next time you decide to play Rocket Raccoon in Marvel Rivals, make sure you use him to his truest skills.","apple_news_notices":[],"yoast_head":"\n
