While the post was made to criticize the Jeff and Groot mechanic, many comments were curated as sarcastic remarks. u/Jjvicious6124 reacted to the post by stating that they have never witnessed this mechanic before. This was because Venom is a drop-and-leave Vanguard where he can utilize his Venom Swing to make quick escapes, but he could not do so because of the prison created by Groot Walls.
