Bunker
Groot functions as a bunker Vanguard built around wall placement, area denial, and fight isolation. His value comes from splitting teams, blocking sightlines, trapping enemies in bad lanes, and turning chokepoints into kill zones. He fits teams that want controlled brawls, objective lockdown, and coordinated ultimate combos around trapped targets.
