Using specials when he isn't supposed to
And the venom pool is way harder than your standard Variant boss
The disagrees this post will get....
1) the rewards aren't worth it for that effort
2) Kabam Specifically told that it is targeted for mid game players and not for endgamera so the difficulty is not warranted.
That being said, since I don't care about the rewards eitherway I'll be doing it before the nerf if I get time
However please fix the deadpool x force kabam
that’s fine people can disagree.
The options for this fight currently is only Apoc or Venompool as a realistic option. Sabretooth can do certain paths, but he needs the poison from deadpooloids which are not on all paths. Torch/YJ etc are counters, but not easy to use for this fight. Domino needs a few hundred hits and even then, a ton of luck.
Apoc can do any path no matter the deadpooloid. Venompool can do any path but really needs to be R3, possibly could do it fully boosted as R2.
This fight is not hard, it is parry heavy with Apoc, get your debuffs on and easy game. This fight is niche, with two realistic counters.
This is not the way that content should be designed, make it difficult yeah. Make it hard yeah. Make it require a ton of skill, wonderful, that’s how you encourage players to progress. Don’t make it require one of several champions and if you don’t have them, well damn, you’re out of luck.
OP I appreciate the thought behind this post, but don’t conflate niche with hard. They’re not the same thing.
Deadpool x is definitely bugged, so it needs to be fixed, but as Wade said, it's a fix.
Venompool, though he is really hard and need specific counter. But the community already found 4, 2 if them not (maybe just a little) RNG dependent.
And no, I'm not saying stuff random, I have 2 lanes from DPX and 6 from Venompool left.
Deadpool Red should be the champ to take down the boss
Skill based is fine and practising for a better result is a good thing. But waiting against thisvlow odds is a bit annoying
imho; what made variant 1 hard and challenging was the class restrictions. and final ultron boss had only several counters like Ghulk or quake, or capiw without triggering dex. after lots of shock immune champs released it became easier. people did it with either limited options or used revives. complained? yes. cursed? yes. was it hard back in the days? yes. but they did it anyway. wheter they knew or not; that gave them more skills, strategy and patience to finish it. it’s like trying to solve a puzzle or crosswords.
that being said limited options or niche fights shouldn’t be that much of a problem. if you have 20 r3s with tons of 5*s you don’t even look at them anymore and rewards aren’t exciting you can take your time to do it itemless. but if you’re a progressing player who needs those rewards, it’s no shame to focus and finish with what you have.
again thank you for the polite answer. have a nice day.
I haven’t got to venompool yet so I can’t say how bad the fight is but deadpool xf is bugged. Need that fixed.
Excluding the final boss, it isn’t THAT hard. Couple difficult fights during exploration but nothing ridiculous. It just isn’t fun..
Others have already hit on the niche topic but one of the two great counters for the final boss isn’t even a mercenary LOL. WHICH IS WHAT THE WHOLE VARIANT IS ABOUT! To add to that there is no incentive to bringing in mercenary champs. It’s either bring in these specifically tagged champions or you’ll do no damage, but we’re not gonna boost those specifically tagged champions in any way and on any paths (besides Deadpool of course)
The whole variant just doesn’t even make sense to me.
Also half the bosses are bugged (or at least 2 of the 6) so the variant just isn’t doing much of anything right tbh..
The EXACT same thing should’ve been done with this variant. Mercenary champs get a tiny little “boost” but mutant champs are normal damage as well
Some war veteran / boomer style advice? “Back in my day we used to work for it ..” drivel?
You’d do well to read and understand the entirety of the situation before telling people to roll up their sleeves and get their hands dirty.
