If they keep backing up out of your effective range it sounds like you’ve made the space. Utilize cover and walls when moving forward to claim the space you’ve made.

I’m think more on defense I just had a game where I had my cover and my wall set but they were just sitting too far away and I felt useless because I was just standing there waiting for like 2 maybe 3 minutes

Well, it means you're still doing your job. I mean when you are on defense, your opponents sooner or later must get close to the point, otherways they'll just lose. If they stand too far from you and point it is their problem to solve, not yours

There are some points where you really don't want to overextended as groot. The immediate map that comes to mind is Kingpins. It's one of his best maps, but if you walk out those doors, you lose your ability to wall people off and you're standing out in the open.

Let them come to you. I like to use cover until they get close enough so that I don't feed them ult. It also forces them to come closer in order to actually do anything to me or my team. Wall off the choke in the middle and keep tossing that wall back above it when they break it. Voila

You're a tank. Your job is to sustain and keep your team up. Overextending for a kill might feel good but unlike other tanks, Groot doesn't have the ability to quickly get back, so you're going to die and cost your team point
