Variant 8 is awesome… except the 2 boss fights

I absolutely love this Variant and hate it at the same time. Being able to use my 4 star redpool as a beyond god tier champ is so much fun. If they fix the Venompool and DPX this will be a great variant. I would say they should sell 4 and 5 star redpool ASAP

    My three-star Red Dead slaps in V8. Fun.

    I agree with the OP -- love the design overall, but the pain points make it too aggravating. And the rewards are not spicy enough to care.

    Making red Deadpool so op that many don’t have him is bs. Why not make all the pool champs have the same buffs?

    Masacre and venompool are Powered up they also crush the content. I like being rewarded for playing this game from the beginning and scoring a redpool in his first ever arena

    Really like the concept of this Variant. Making redpool a OP Character is awesome. The Boss Venompool is much easier now. I like this variant @Kabam Miike

    Easily the worst variant. Full of bugs and badly designed, to the point of buffing an exclusive p2w champion as well

    Had opportunities to get him without paying. Design is cool. V1 takes the cake for worst variant IMO

    Pretty sure he’s only been in money offers. Design and execution are arguably the worst of all the variants. V1 is still trash tho

    Agreed. I am in no rush to finish this massacre.

    It is a bit strange one. As an owner of a 6* r2 VP I would call it stupidly easy. The regen is so OP it's not even funny. However there are few BUTs:

    1) Only 2 champs are this op, VP and Masacre. V3 has huge boost for Sentinel, but not this crazy. Other Mercs can get the crossfights, but they are only about 10% dmg caused

    2) the final boss even after nerf seems too hard. Idk how mamy mercs can put on so many debuffs consistently. If you get the Bad Breath crossfight, it's pretty easy. If you don't, it nears being undoable

    My main grip with variant 8 is i thought they learnt from variant 1. Energize and Vivified are super lazy node design where you need to constantly bait specials in less than 2 combos and when the ai goes stubborn it all goes wrong. Add to the fact the limited champ pool of mercenaries doesn't have power control and the power nodes being spammed everywhere is unfun.

    The timer on dead pool is too short making him still too difficult for many players

    While I agree there aren’t enough champs that can easily defeat this content. I still really like the concept. Kabam should sell redpool again many would buy him now. They could have upped the damage for mercenaries. Also, should have buffed DP xforce that’s a huge miss @Kabam Miike There is no question V1 was the worst variant this one after the changes is just a medium middle road variant.
  • DarthVadidDarthVadid Member Posts: 409 ★★★
    Well I feel like an ass. I defended you @Kabam Miike said this was great content. Then you pee on my leg with this bogus compensation. And take down any criticism
  • DarthVadidDarthVadid Member Posts: 409 ★★★
    So someone who went HAM on venompool and fell short using many revives and boosts gets less then the guys who completed the fight using synergy tricks and were luck enough to have apocalypse? This is your solution Kabam? Dumb, silly, tone deaf and typical. Why can’t you get out of your own way and make this game great.

    It’s bs that you have to get all the way to the final boss to find out you have nothing to beat him with. I whaled out big time on this one, watched all the videos but there is no way of beating him with a 6* r3 Massacre. Even though it feels like you’ve got the lifecycle thing beat with a s load of heavy’s and sp 3s… No dice. BS!

    It's been out for 2 years and you didn't think to check the boss nodes before whaling put? You also would have been overjoyed with it for the first week before Venompool was nerfed and DPX bug was fixed.

    You guys should have tried it the right when it came out boss was almost impossible. With the champs available at the time you had to max despair, use Mr fan prefights and use apoc and had to 1 shot. It was stupid.
