Best Counters to Groot
How to Counter Groot
Groot depends on his walls, so break the Ironwood Wall first: it has only 600 health, and without it he loses both his Unstoppable and his Bonus Health. Heroes who fly over his walls or slip past them, such as Storm and Magik, take away his control, and with no movement ability he cannot follow them. When Strangling Prison flies toward your team, spread out, since it only pulls enemies within 8 m of where it lands.
