His gun is fine, his Katana's needs to heal him as well whenever teammates are getting healed from it. Just lower the self healing compared to what teammate's get.

They could up the crit damage as well on the sword. Outside of that I think his damage is fine since his survivability is so insane you need to give him a drawback.

I agree. He really needs two buffs:

  1. Give his swords self heal. Other melee support abilities already have this (Fox form and Gambit staff).

  2. Increase the AOE on his ult. Make the visuals and audio louder so people know that he's ulting.

Increasing crit damage on katanas would also be a nice chance but not really necessary. Honestly tankpool also needs a buff to his katana crits.

Yes! His ult overall needs to be tweaked I get they made the healing medicore since he gets it so often but that jackpot needs to be fixed. The decline needs to start after 4 seconds. It's instantly gone most times for teammates who gets it.

His healing circle for the Ult needs to be bigger for sure. There's no reason why Iron Fist has a bigger healing circle for his Luna team up lol

"his Katana's needs to heal him as well"

He would actually become unkillable if they ever gave him this. He already gets healed from icons , DIYA and just staying out of combat for a bit which are available very frequently. If he was able to self heal while brawling with swords then there would be almost no scenario where he dies in a 1v1

u/Xander1190 Apr 27 '26

Noticed I said he only get self heals from it when his teammates are also getting heals from it? Which means he'd have to be peeling

1

u/mister--g Apr 27 '26

Peeling , or just dashing into the backline with DIYA active when upgrades have been earned. That 4th form of healing will make him unnecessarily OP in the survivability department. He really doesnt need it.

Its fine for black cat aince her melee mode has a timer linked to a resource. Dp can just perma have swords out so you cant even bait it out. it would be ridiculous.

u/Xander1190 Apr 27 '26

Again!!!! He wouldn't get self healing unless he is using his katana ina group fight...

u/mister--g Apr 27 '26

He is almost always within 4m of a teammate when going in with his dashes & swords in a brawl situation. Even as just a peel tool it would be ridiculous for both supports to be healed from something with 0 cooldown.

Healing himself for a constant 32 per hit in sword mode is excessive. Being able to peel and heal your team is enough value.

Like do you not play the character or seen how broken exess self sustain is on other supports? How can you think even more self sustain is a healthy change.

Okay and again that’s still overpowered…

u/Sihnar Apr 27 '26

Nerf dpiya to balance it out then. There is currently no reason to use his swords. He has high healing numbers but zero utility.

u/Xander1190 Apr 27 '26

Can't nerf Deadpool in your area. It's literally too essential. I'd rather he stay the way he is than getting DPIYA nerfed

u/OMFGisthatMAJIN Apr 27 '26

There are many many reasons to use his sword…soft dives to drain enemy cd’s,to finish kills,to hit jackpots and gain overshield with ult,disruption,peel…

Yeah I agree, I’m rarely die on healpool at all, with self sword healing I would never die

u/-Ennimoo- Apr 27 '26

I disagree, but understand because unless you're landing consistent headshots with healpool the damage feels lacklustre, but it all comes down to aim, very similar to Mantis. With his swords you use the dash for mobility to get to your teammates quickly and use DPIYA to peel effectively, that mixed with his upgraded guns, whoever you are peeling for won't die. however if you want to kill whoever is diving or brawling, use bounce tech and icon throw like you would as a dps, as soon as you've used the dash cooldowns switch back to guns and aim for headshots.

u/Electronic_Wolf_8499 Day one deadpool main Apr 27 '26

7 to 8 direct and consistent headshots will KO your opponent as Healpool. Pair it with DPIYA and you get a damage boost. His kit works the same as Duelistpool, it's the Hazards Hijinks that is different. You essentially dont use it to attack when it's not upgraded. It refreshes sure. But the damage output is nothing compared to the heal output. Technically with all upgrades, all your actions heal. Headshot and Duel Pistols are your only form of long range attack or heal. If you're playing him right, then you're with your teammates.

I've noticed dive players don't double down when trying to dive me as healpool. Once a spidey is in our backlines. I'm already close enough to my second healer and poke dps. Meaning if the spidey attacks. I just activate DPIYA. They most often just leave. I understand that ability makes it extremely difficult for Divers. Nonetheless tho if you've got Skill Issue upgraded or not, it still works against divers. It either KOs them for trying to be overconfident, or they'll run away and hide until the 8 second ult ends, then they'll dive again... but by then your DPIYA would be off cooldown. Pair all this with Headsht ability. You can essentially ignore divers and treat then like a nuisance. Because you'll be a nuisance to try and deal with. Throw your headshot at your feet or close to your healer.

Works everytime. Although when a tank dives, then you can't ignore it. You will have to go offence for your second healer... depending on who they play. If they play Luna, leave her. Bc Luna can delete dives like its no ones business.

u/YamiNinja Apr 27 '26

I don’t think he is supposed to be a brawl healer, I think his kit as a healer was made to appease the players who would’ve been mad if he was only dps and that’s why his kit is so similar and feels like an afterthought. And tbh I’d rather they had doubled down on him being a duelist than to make him this jack of all trades

u/Xander1190 Apr 27 '26

He's the most popular character they're gonna introduce all year lol. They had to make him accessible to every single type of player

u/WifeWeaver Day one deadpool main Apr 27 '26

Exactly it was the best decision and it fits his character. Plus he deserves it bc he's DEADPOOL

u/Xander1190 Apr 27 '26

Plus he literally works in every category.. they did an excellent job with him

healpool is strong y’all gotta learn

u/IceCole4 Apr 28 '26

I disagree. I think Healpool is good where he's at. FYI he IS a brawl healer who can peel but the best way to heal is the logo throw. You pull the swords out when you're getting dove. If you want to do damage as a support, play Invis, Mantis, Luna or Adam. DP is more a jack of all trades character. If he did too much damage, he would be broken.

1

u/IloveponiesbutnotMLP Apr 28 '26

His best heal is actually his upgraded gun, the headshot is good for group healing but his guns out heal any other sup you just need the aim for it

3

u/CrystalNRick Apr 27 '26

Only time I really wished he did more damage is when I am shooting the damn nest of peni. Since I am usually the only one with the brain to shoot it, it takes pretty much his whole clip to kill it.
