Seems a little glitchy to me. Sometimes I will be locked out of any inputs when it activates (Example: I try to parry, but it doesn't register so I get hit in the face).
It makes avoiding multi hit specials/heavies harder. And when your 2020 new champions have far reaching, multi-hit specials (Tigra, Black Widow Deadly Origins, Mole Man, Sasquatch, etc), it makes everything a lot harder without being more fun.
As a bit of an aside - Tigra benefits from spacing (unblockable, etc). Root seems like it both helps and hurts her depending on if she is on offense / defense. That is one champion that I can think of so far, where Root will have unintended interactions.
I have tigra, and she’s my so far favorite champ and with roots version today - it makes her play style worthless. I wondered how they would negate her abilities and root does just that She needs to heavy and when you go rooted mid heavy they attack you back
She’s already a tough champ to use efficiently without error and this made her borderline useless.
considering how much you trained to count, you should know that is 2 words and should be "words" not "word"
I find it hilarious that the roots hater’s best argument against those defending root is picking on the fact that they forgot to add a plural.
no moots just a troll. I think he likes root
it was a Reference to Monke saying he travelled around the world to prove that there are 11 champions in top 10 champions (im pretty sure that was him)
I see the combinations of annoying nodes as “artificial difficulty” It’s something there to trip you up and confuse you/ force you to work around.
It’s like auto aim on modern shooters If you do bad it makes your auto aim magnet stronger where as you crack head shot after head shot you suddenly start not being able to aim right The enemy slides around and your game starts lagging.
That’s what these nodes feel like, you out of no where lag and it glitches and then the fun and interactive mechanic kicks in and your inputs lag out and you die
It’s like “I have the power to have all the super powers”
I’m really enjoying today’s root node, Icky I think it’s called. Big fan of being able to work around it like with encroaching stun, adds a good dynamic.
It’s quite easy to get 10 hits in and prevent it entirely, but maybe that’s the point.
Haven’t tried the others yet, but I’m very happy to see a new kind of mechanic in the game. Much needed!
Ok I forgot to post this yesterday. I was doing epic difficulty "Avengers" themed raids and a few things that I didn't like: 1)I could not attack the defenders before they launched their heavy. Root stops movement so intercepting is pointless. 2)The defenders were too strong. This is epic difficulty and my 5* 4/55 thing lost 69% health to Iron Man! Their heavy attacks, light attacks take down percentages of health in multiples of 5! While thing's sp3 did less than 10% damage! I dont have as many complains about root as I have for this difficulty. A 4/55 thing is more than capable of defeating a 16k iron man with no health lost. This is ridiculous Kabam.
Absolutely hate this mechanic. The difficulty has already been ramped up tremendously. This does not add a fun challenge (for me at least), but an ever increasing level of frustration that the devs continually add buffs that make sure I take damage. Quite honestly if this mechanic is used anywhere except special side quests I will most likely completely stop playing the game.
I haven’t had problems with root. I think you might just be bad...
I cannot take anything you say serious when you apparently love Iron Patriot in this game. Just because YOU haven't had issue with root doesn't mean others aren't. It's still a trash mechanic even if it works for you. This may shock you, but the world doesn't revolve around you. I'm by no means the best player, but I'm not "bad" either, and I'm sure as hell not **** enough to parade Iron Patriot around while trash talking other players.
What an angry post lol. I honestly don’t know what to say if you don’t understand that the whole Iron Patriot gag is supposed to be ironic. Yea the world doesn’t revolve around me, but when did I ever push a narrative that implies that I think it does? You’re the one who generalized the player base in your post. Just a little wake up call, this node wasn’t designed to make fights easy. Just because you struggle with it doesn’t mean everyone does and it deserves to be taken down. The only problems I’ve had with this node are failures with my own performance as a player, and I accept that instead of claiming that it breaks my game without backing it up with evidence.
GET RID OF THEM! You seriously want to implement trash mechanics that screw over the players when parry and dex STILL don't work?! This event is great but root is a DISASTER and completely breaks my game and does nothing but screw over the players. FIX the trash in your game before you make new trash. Dang good veteran players getting absolutely robbed in EASY fights with these two nodes alone.
GET RID OF THEM!
Let me guess, u got smacked by black widow yesterday didn't u?
Root is not fun! There is no benefit from it I don’t understand it? It’s this something to hinder players ability to dodge special heavies and basic attacks? The shadow raid is nothing compared to the level of difficulty that this node can have in book 2 so just get rid of it

So all nodes have to have some kind of benefit to the player to exist now? You can still very easily dex many specials, basics, and heavies with rooted. I’ve done it multiple times, you can too.

I haven’t been playing the entire month really after playing the root side quest I find it’s just annoying and the side events aren’t really to great from what I’ve seen.

I love how people talk about “parry and dex issues” as if everyone has them, but fail to provide relevant proof when asked about these issues.
Noone goes around recording every single fight they do in the contest. Issues aren't regular. They come and go, but they are there. That's why you have so many complaints in general. Even if someone would show a recording, you'd just say that their timing was off.
Root really isn't that bad. It is just another knew mechanic to learn and figure out how to bypass depending on the situation. I personally find it fun and challenging. I don't think it should be removed because of that
the game is not only about skilled player,if a medium content player is having trouble,and a skilled player doesn't..it's not that the mechanic is good,the game is for everyone

I really don't like root...why kabam added this isint node satisfies...why more disadvantage and sabortage on a simple champs...it would be better if these root would be advantage....I really don't like it...plz kabam take it back...I am happy with normal gameplay...even happy with nodes...but I don't like root...its like I have chances to of 50 percent to win a fight and after this root...it goes to 0.5 percent
