Marvel Rivals finally revealed all of the details on Deadpool for season 6, and we're actually getting the first character who is all three roles in one! Excited to see if people drift towards Duelist, Vanguard, or Strategist more, and how different the character feels depending on which role you are leaning towards. I did like that we can only have one Deadpool per team, even with the multi-role approach.

What did you think of the multi-role reveal and Deadpool's first Marvel Rivals gameplay?

Deadpools butt inserted itself into the cannon. Funny ain’t it.

It's a pretty cool idea! I've fallen off Rivals but this is unique enough that I may have to give it another try and see how it plays. I'll be curiosus to see if the build on any of the three classes has some kind of element that secretly makes it the best.

I think it's a fitting idea to try with Deadpool, and I love how they did the reveal. But I am curious to see how being able to swap between all 3 roles for him will work in practice.

It's much simpler than I thought it would be, and even between the three different roles, his core abilities and how they control don't change up that much. It's just mostly the effect they have in a battle.

The idea of having three roles makes total sense for a character like Deadpool, but it's all going to come down to balance. If one role ends up being way more viable than the others, players will just ignore the multi-role aspect entirely. It'll be interesting to see how it actually plays out in ranked matches.
