Curious on the turnout.
I don’t have a deadpool og higher than a 1* and I don’t think hes worth bringing unless you have a higher rarity.
I’ve got only 1 path left on 7.3 but wanted to get the t5cc here before I picked my selectors from 7.3z
But at the same time, I’ve heard a lot of discouraging things about the variant such as high block damage, limited mercenary pool, and a lot of the merc champs and the boosts for them not being that good.
Going forward it might be better to reward the pool of champions centered on the theme of a variant rather than penalizing the non-benefitting champions, or at least increasing the targeted pool of champions who benefit from the boost. This can lead to difficulties in having counters against certain defenders when you can only bring so many champs. The havok for instance.

Variant 8 was not the best or worst variant. I think it had really high expectations since the last few variants had been so much fun. I know it did not meet my expectations for definition of fun.
But I also hate not having everything 100%. Everything. So yeah, I explored it.
Overall IMO the nodes were a bit much for the restrictions given. Felt like high end content but rewards couldve been better. Still a better variant than variant 1.
Harder variant in a while that's for sure though.
And agree, the quest was doable because Mascre was fun to play.
Owns exactly 3 #mercs in 6*s. HM, BWDO and Electra.
And I'm not going to upgrade 5* r5 to get 2 t5b.
I do not mind difficulty or annoyance.
I usually do quests just because it's there or I was after a resources, but not this time as I have plenty of all resource except the champs.
I've completed it with MVP R4 5* Gwenpool. And I needed a 3-4 2017 Gem so I explored Chapter 1 to get it.
