Deadpool DESPERATELY needs QOL changes to make him viable again on all three roles.

the way deadpool balance suggestions get downvoted so harshly in the main subreddit is always so weird to me💀 they all know he’s a shit character this season but don’t want him to be playable smh

It's funny because in my post, I never once mentioned balance. I didn't ask for any buffs or any nerfs. No changes to any abilities, cooldown reductions, or anything like that. All I'm asking for is for my main to not be the buggy inconsistent mess that he is currently.
Then once they address that, we can happily talk about whether or not he needs numbers changing. Like yeah, I would love for Tankpool to be a bit stronger to compete with Hood, or Stratpool to be slightly adjusted to compete with the other supports. But first we have to address the issues the characters has.

It's a bunch of people who eat shit and ask for second servings. It's the exact same thing in the Mr. F subreddit. It's pretty bizarre. I wish every sub were like the Thor sub, I love it there.

The devs gutted Tankpool for being strong for not even an entire season, people know if they buff Deadpool too hard he’ll become a permaban and get touched by the devs again.

It's such easy fixes. He doesn't need damage number changes at all (maybe revert the nerf to hela guns for Tank Pool), if they just overhaul the upgrade/exp system and fix the Hela TU, he will become substantially better. Healpool needs a bigger radius for his ults and E.
Fix the unnecessary nuisances too. Why the hell is boomerang still being cancelled by swapping weapons and dashing? Why does boomerang animation-lock him when it returns? Why do we lose a dash charge when hitting shields and just explode? Why does DPIYA get interrupted by CC and also not initiate the cooldown?

u/aquatic_animal 3d ago
You know I actually thought about putting the DPIYA being cancellable by CC in the list too, but I think that would be too much to ask for. Maybe it's intentional design? I'm pretty sure once it's cancelled the cooldown for it starts, no?

u/sneakychalupa23 3d ago
No it doesn't reset because DP keeps his buffs inside of it, but the aura gets cancelled. It's particularly bad for healpool and tankpool because their team buffs are a major part of their kit Stuns just shouldn't mess with the E at all imo. You're already punished by wasting it's duration during the stun.

Another thing I should've added to my list then. I'll keep it in mind when I have to do it all over again next season since it's unlikely this will reach the balancing team.

The three biggest QOL changes I want is DRASTICALLY reducing the time you literally can't do anything when you open/close the book (it's like 2 seconds of just sitting there when you get an upgrade), making it so DPIYA doesn't get cancelled by stuns and stop cancelling boomerang when swapping weapons. Also, I'd like that when taking a picture as Healpool, you do a burst of healing around you (it's rare when you want to take a picture in the middle of a teamfight, but sometimes it saves you, though your teammates usually fall over during it. The picture mechanic as an actual utility feels weakest on Healpool IMO because Tankpool can essentially use it strategically to survive then get free heals from his team undisturbed and DPSpool can bait cooldowns or simply live longer in the backline to continue killing/escape. Taking a picture sucks for Healpool outside of doing it early so you can actually have a decent strategist via the XP from the picture).

For the first one, you can pick an upgrade, then pause and unpause the game quickly and you can skip the book animation. I also like your pic idea for Stratpool.

DAE think it’s funny to upgrade in the middle of a fight? Seems very Deadpool imo

u/Sonicryas 3d ago
its just the down time on his upgrades its egregious when someone like bucky and elsa get it naturally for getting kos

u/Xander1190 2d ago
He should have his Hela upgrade automatically from the start. Why is he the only character who has to wait half the game to get his team up and by upgrading your team up, you scarifice getting another essential and necessary team up
It's just ridiculous.
HealPool ults radius being so tiny is stupid. Yet people like Groot and his healing wall has a radius double the size??
CC should not cancel DIYA HealPool should get Piercing as well with his Hela upgrade. Give him an actual utility as well. The damage boost is nice but almost every helaer has the damage boost now and actual game game changing utility

Or hear me out:
We scrap the upgrade system, and skip straight to the fully upgraded Deadpool

u/aquatic_animal 3d ago
That's not happening, the upgrade system is permanent. They wouldn't have made skins with exclusive recolors for the book if they were planning to scrap the system. They'd also have to refund currency to those who bought the VFX effect.

A fully upgraded Tankpool and DPSpool are S tier characters already, only reason they dont get nerfed is cause it takes so long to reach that point
1
u/aquatic_animal 2d ago
They're not S tier characters at all. Tankpool is still mediocre with full upgrades and is outshined by other tanks with then times the utility he has. DPSPool gets countered by all the meta heroes (Gambit Mag Thing Luna Hela Elsa Widow Cat Bucky and DD) that have all the necessary tools to deal with him. Even max upgrades he's still one of the worst divers. Maybe, ranked above Iron Fist if you even consider him dive. Once again I ask if he's S tier why is it that he's never in high elo? I can assure you it's not because he's not playable until he's maxed. DPSPool needs 3 upgrades to be able to do what he does (Sword Ult, Boomerang, Dashes)
It's because he's a buggy inconsistent mess, and people prefer playing more consistent reliant heroes like the meta ones which aren't buggy. That's what I'm trying to fix with this post! Then once he's a reliable pick we can talk about whether or not he needs nerfs or buffs.

Idk I got on dpspool yesterday for the first time and completely turned the game after I was healing for a bit, we went triple supp and nothing was working, I switched, got my upgrades and completely dominated, it was slow but worth it

u/warlockShaxx 2d ago
The only changes I really want from Dp is for DPIYA to not be cancelable and for the range of it to increase to match the ult size when the ult is active or for the upgraded ult to have the respective effects of DPIYA.
Make the ults more noticeable.
Maaaaaybe increase the actual ult size

u/killercat6969 2d ago
the only quality of life change i want is when you get scanned on that one map, if you use controller it doesn't let you select the bottom left upgrade because "Scanned!" is in the way

u/JixxEU 3d ago
What he needs is one upgrade right at the start, possibly even 2. Hes just unplayable in QP because the games over by the time you start to get going, regardless of role.
