@cramandman: Nah. That arrow is incredibly fast. I don't want to spoil anything but it's speed is amped to be greater than a bullet.
Also Diablo died from a C4 explosive... which is nothing compared to Groot being able to have his body endure the Dark Asther crashing and exploding. Rocket has enough tech on him to replicate a better explosion to finish of Diablo.
Yondu will blitz almost immediately.
Deadshot isn't fighting fodder here. Gamora is a casual bullet timer and her agility is amped. Her strength is shown to be around 10 tons, so one in SS taking her h2h.
Quill and Rocket can also fly pretty fast and have enough firepower to supress Deadshot and keep him on the defense.
Then Yondu kills everyone.
I cannot overstate how broken that arrow is.
I'm not denying the speed of the arrow just pointing out the ridiculous accuracy of Deadshot and the arrogant stupidity of Yondu, who is unlikely to just end it without savoring the moment. I also mentioned that if Yondu whistles before Deadshot kills him he'll take out the entire SS team. Even if he's already whistled, if Deadshot has gotten a shot off that kills him before the arrow does it's thing, the arrow will most likely stop dead in its tracks when Yondu's dead.
Diablo only died from a C4 explosion after he was completely tapped of magical fire power and reduced to a normal human. Until he exhausts his fire supply in Fiery Skeleton form, he's pretty much unstoppable. While Groot's body technically survived the Dark Aster explosion, Groot did not survive it. We also don't know how he'll handle a magical fiery demon's firepower. If he pulls the same trick as in the movie and balls up, he'll die or at least be reduced to a twig which is still a KO. Remember Diablo was hurting Enchantress' brother and pushing him back. Groot doesn't have any FEATS against powerful Characters like Diablo, just fodder.
I'm not denying Gamora's evasiveness or agility, though Starlord, rocket and Groot all fared well enough against her at the beginning of the first movie. Without Deadshot, SS doesn't have a chance. As for Gamora being a casual bullet timer, that won't do her any good against Deadshot. She may dodge a few bullets but Deadshot has an automatic rifle with uncanny aim, he'll time, tag and kill her eventually.
If they were starting closer together, I'd agree that Quill and Rocket could suppress Deadshot and keep him on the defensive, but Deadshot is too fast and accurate and 500 feet is enough room to work his magic. He'll take them down before they get the chance.
Again, I'm only really saying it depends on who gets off first, Yondu or Deadshot and whether they have enough information to target each other first. If Yondu takes it seriously, immediately whistles, and takes out Deadshot first, the GOTG are guaranteed to win. If he hesitates, Deadshot will wipe the floor with them.
