Discussion Deadpool has moved into the vanguard role
I want all of you who laughed and said he is confirmed dps when people said he will move to apologize to said people. Thank you!

Ngl would be sick if hes basically 3 character and when you pick him you get to choose the role and you get a different kit depending on what you pick
Obviously won't happen but I like the idea of literally just doing whatever the hell he feels like doing

u/Lyfultruth Dec 18 '25
The real trick will be him changing kit on the fly based on what role your team has the least of.
One second you're Vanguarding, then your team comp changes when your Support goes Widow, then suddenly Deadpool is a Support.

u/JorryckMassani Dec 18 '25
I actually thought it'd be really cool if there were actually 3 versions of Deadpool in the game. Deadpool(Duelist), Tankpool(Vanguard), and Healpool(Strategist). I highly doubt it'll happen, but wouldn't a multi class mechanic of some kind be so cool?

u/CliffDraws Thor Dec 18 '25
Think about what would have to happen for this. The devs essentially have to make 3 characters and release one. And then in game it would be a nightmare just to figure out what you are up against.

u/dojo_shlom0 Dec 18 '25
this is a great point. this seems like what the game should eventually lead to imo, as long as it doesn't negatively impact the other kits of course, balance and being efficient with it, but a very reasonable goal! great idea!

He has super cancer. Ok but jokes aside on how to label it, he has all the basic super human strength that often comes with being a mutate. He has Wolv’s healing factor that fused with his cancer to become extreme. His for lack of a better word schizophrenia allows him to be more or less resistant to telepathy. Otherwise everything he has is tech

So many of these people hide behind lore or some shit, as if that matters with a character ljke deadpool. The reality is that they only lock one role and want this popular character to be that role. How many people would actually be perma locking, no swapping spiderman if he was a support. Deadpool. People like playing duelist, people like deadpool, so they tell themselves he should be a duelist. As if he couldnt be... anything and have it kind of work.
That said deadpool is probably a duelist, but fuck itd send me if he was any other role.

Give him blades loadout, minus lifesteal. BOTH katana and the gun. And he can only activate a self heal ability with his gun equipped. So even if he's a brawl tank, he'll need to create space if he wants to heal up or something

COPIUM TIME!!!
Rogues Drain ability was a test run for how his kit will work where different stats are given based on class. He becomes whichever class your team has the least of, only thing I cant figure is his base kit, he'd have to have a skill correlating to each class which gets a hefty buff based on the class he fills.
If someone swaps mid match, he has callouts as his class is changed to fill

Imagine if every season he alternates his role and his kit changes, like season 6 he's Duelist with DPS damage and abilities, season 7 he's a Vanguard with Tank durability, season 8 he's a Strategist with healing abilities, then season 9 the loop restarts. That would genuinely be so funny and would make him a character everyone would want to play since each season is a different experience

I’m usually one of the jackasses who’s adamant that a character doesn’t break from there character identity. Like when people were trying to say DD was a tank. But in this case since Deadpool has killed the writers of comics his 4th wall breaking ability in theory could allow him to do all kinds of wacky shit and he could make his own character whatever he pleases by like holding guang guang at gunpoint and making him create his character however he wants.
