PSA to Supportpool players: Stop spamming the Gun Ult as a panic button
I am losing my mind over Supportpool players who permanently default to the Gun Ult and then sit there asking, “How are we still dying?”
If you are locking in Strategist Deadpool, you need to understand how his two ultimates actually work and when to use them, because mismanaging them is throwing winnable games.
Here is the ultimates work:
The Sword Ult (Final Exam) is your actual sustain.
This is what gives your team the opportunity to play aggressively. It generates the crucial AoE bonus health that allows your frontline to actually push the tempo, brawl, and absorb heavy focus-fire without instantly melting.
The Gun Ult (Pwnage Pound) is NOT a defensive crutch.
This should be used when we need quick burst healing, or ideally, when the enemy team is already down. The ultimate is action-based—if the enemy uses an ability while hit with it, they take damage while we get bonus health and healing. It is an execution tool to wipe a low-HP team, not a magic button to save us when we are getting steamrolled.
Stop using the Gun Ult to survive heavy hits.
Read the kit.
