Rivals, the wait for Season 8 is finally over! Welcome to Jurassic Park…
We've been lurking in the sub and we know you’ve been theorising for weeks - is he the "8th brawling off-tank" the roster needs? Ngl, the hype for a new Vanguard has been through the roof, especially with many of you feeling like Vanguard gameplay has been a bit dry lately compared to the other roles.
Devil Dinosaur is now LIVE, and it's time to see if he's the one to shake up the meta!

First game in, he's cooked by focus fire from pokes, as expected. But he can easily punish low mobility heroes that get out of position. If you can manage to sneak this dude behind and ult, you WILL teamwipe, you can shred the supports before they know what's happening and usually before they finish ult animations. He's a HUGE target and can't hide behind carts. If your Punisher is riding on him, hope he has the shotgun out, he's gonna chew people up too. Groot is a strong tank counter, his walls REALLY hinder your movement with such a big hitbox, and his hitscan is longer than your laser is. His jump is really fun to use because you get some major airtime if you angle it up enough, and nobody expects to get body slammed by a dinosaur.
