What are your thoughts About the root node? And how do you counter it?

Bruhhhhhhhhhh

I personally don’t mind the root node because the speeding on specials is pretty easy but it gets annoying baiting out specials does anyone know any counters for it?

Learn the rhythm of the Special Attacks, if you can't evade them you can block the attack unless you're fighting someone say... Rogue on her SP1.

Power control champs. Aarp.

I use Archangel if they can be bled and poisoned.
Otherwise I hope for the best and try to dex. Working out decently so far. Just hate some of the contact attacks

Today's was not awful because you can avoid them throwing heavies completely

dont close, he is asking for advice.
one piece of advice for countering root is practicing dexing specials on people that have hard to dex special attacks!

another piece of advice is using power lock, burn, and drain champs so the opponent cannot use special attacks!

Bruhhhhhhhhhh

Thanks I’ll try to do all of these things

I think it'll take some getting used to. For the most part, I'm not having too much trouble with it, unless it's Rogue's sp1. I just can't seem to dex the second hit and take a ton of damage.

Ive used Ghost, she was pretty efficient

Oh I forgot to say that I hate the visual of it. Both how it looks when you are rooted and the node icon.

I hate the icon. It looks like cripple from Annihilus. I don't mind the circle, but it should have been green so it looked like you were locked in place by the time stone. It already has the shape of the timestone spells Dr Strange used.

Then it would look like Doom's Aura. I think purple is way cooler (grammar?) looking. Also, it wouldn't make sense as a function of time-spells since you can move, just not cover distances. I feel like it would be more of a gravity-type situation, and therefore purple or blue would feel more appropriate.

Personally I think it should be yellow so it is easier to see

Goodluck on baiting out black widows heavy...

just dash back and parry their medium dash ins

I love root. It brings a new gameplay aspect to this already complex game and adds a new skill depth to the game.

I think the color should be something brighter, maybe a brighter red or blue. It just looks wonky as purple
