'Rocket Raccoon is now the goat healer': Marvel Rivals devs have finally caved and given Rocket Raccoon's ultimate the ability to heal

Marvel Rivals characters - Rocket Raccoon riding on Groot's shoulders.

Marvel Rivals Season 2 is introducing a lot of new features, including new heroes, Emma Frost and Ultron, new maps, new Team-up abilities, and, as per usual, a ton of hero changes. Most of these are pretty straightforward and expected, like a nerf for Winter Soldier and a small buff for Loki. But the best change, by far, has to be the fact that Rocket Raccoon's ultimate now heals teammates.

Before this change, Rocket Raccoon's ultimate just provided a damage boost for teammates. It may have been a nice subversion of the usual Marvel Rivals Strategist ult, which predominantly heals allies, but in practice, it often didn't work very well. Now this wasn't all due to Rocket's design: most of the blame lies on players not using it correctly.
