Exploring 5 heroes to counter Rocket Raccoon in Marvel Rivals
1) Iron Fist
As mentioned previously, Rocket Raccoon is a Strategist-class hero, which means that his base health will be on the lower side. Thus, a competent damage dealer can easily take care of him. To balance this out, Rocket has one of the most dynamic movement abilities in the game, however, that doesn't mean he is the only one with an agile build.
Trending
Iron Fist is a Duelist-class hero, meaning he excels at dishing out damage to enemies. Keeping in tune with his comic book portrayals, Iron Fist is a melee-based character and is one of the best. Once an enemy is in his range, Fist can make short work of him. Rocket's primary damage dealer, his minigun, can take some time to get going, during which Fist can kill him with relative ease.
2) Spider-Man
Due to the lower health and an okay-ish offensive output, Rocket players will usually have to avoid direct confrontations to ensure their survivability. As such, one of the best heroes players can choose to counter Rocket Raccoon is a close-range agile superhero who can give him a tough time.
Spider-Man is another melee-based Duelist in the game. His web-swinging abilities can allow him to easily catch up to Rocket while his Get Over Here! move can instantly close the gap between them, making it easy to use Peter Parker's pummeling prowess on him. Spider-Man can also attach a spider-tracker to deal additional damage to Raccoon, making him vulnerable to his attacks.
3) The Punisher
While the previous entries in the list focus on agile melee-based heroes, there are a few Duelists in similar games that are picked for their ability to deal significant chunks of damage over short periods of time. Instances include Sojourn or Soldier 76 from Overwatch, or The Punisher from Marvel Rivals.
Speaking of, the hero has a huge arsenal of weapons players can use to rain down hell on their opponents. He is one of the few players who has two primary weapons — a medium-range assault rifle and a powerful close-range shotgun. While both are great in their own right, his Culling Turret can absolutely shred Rocket's health making him a great choice to negate the latter's defenses.
4) Bruce Banner/Hulk
Vanguards can be a great choice to counter Rocket Raccoon in Rivals. They can be extremely difficult to kill due to their massive health bars and decent HP draining capabilities. By the same token, they can tank a good chunk of damage while dealing some.
While there are various Vanguards you can use in the hero shooter, Hulk is one of the best offensive ones you can play to counter Rocket Raccoon.
Bruce Banner/Hulk has among the best movement mechanics in the entire game, allowing him to leap across long distances. Adding to that, his melee-based fighting style allows him to dish out huge close-range damage, making him a deadly opponent against the titular trash panda.
5) Black Widow
Rocket is a great character to use in medium-to-long-range distances, considering both his offensive and defensive abilities. As such, it would not be a good matchup if he was targeted by a long-range specialist, considering his minigun cannot accurately target that range.
Black Widow is a long-range Duelist. Similar to Widowmaker from Overwatch, she excels in sniping capabilities. Using her Red Room rifle to take precise shots can outright one-shot an enemy with a low healthpool. Her long focal length can also negate Rocket's movement abilities, allowing her to track him down and shoot the lethal bullet. These factors make her a good choice to counter Rocket Raccoon.
