Marvel Rivals Season 6 launched January 16, bringing Deadpool as a brand new Hero. The iconic mutant has been heavily requested ever since Marvel Rivals launched, and now players will be able to dive in and push the front line forward while utilizing multiple styles of play.
Marvel Rivals Season 6 key infoI've now played 300 hours of Marvel Rivals since launch, and I've been jumping in at the start of every season to try out the new Hero. I'm very excited to get my hands on Deadpool, and absolutely ready to try out his role-switching abilities. It's not just the arrival of Deadpool that'll switch up Season 6, however, as there are changes to Heroes like Hulk and Gambit that will surely change the meta going forward.
Here's the Marvel Rivals Season 6 launch info, alongside details on what to expect from the new major update.

Marvel Rivals Season 6 downtime began at the following times, and lasted 2 hours.
Marvel Rivals Deadpool
Deadpool finally joins Marvel Rivals in Season 6, and as expected, he's a completely unique type of Hero. In a first for the game, Deadpool is actually a Vanguard, Duelist and Strategist all rolled into one. He has dual pistols and a katana to deal huge damage either up close or from a distance, he has the ability to place down a shield bubble, and can even heal teammates with his main attacks.
As the match progresses, Deadpool can choose to upgrade certain abilities. His Ultimate then tasks you with carrying out certain attacks, then you'll gain bonuses based on how well you do. Strategist abilities operate in a similar way, while Vanguard is all about throwing down a shield and tanking damage. As such Deadpool is easily the most complex Hero we've seen in Marvel Rivals so far, and it'll take some time before his abilities and role-switching becomes clearly understood.

The following Hero balancing updates are now live in Marvel Rivals Season 6:

There's plenty of Ranked Changes added as part of Marvel Rivals Season 6. Here's the headline info:
As Evergreen Editor, it's my job to stay up to date with the latest games, especially live service titles like Marvel Rivals. I've put hundreds of hours into the game at this point, having jumped on during Season 0. Since then, I've covered every season personally and professionally, and I particularly enjoyed Season 2, which gave me the opportunity to try out Emma Frost as a brand-new Vanguard. I tend to stick to the Vanguard role, and I'm currently working on getting Magneto to Lord proficiency. Hopefully, Deadpool gives me a new character to main in Season 6.

I've been busy trying Deadpool out in the Practice Range, and he's very complicated indeed. First off, you need to choose whether you want to play Deadpool as a Vanguard, Duelist, or Strategist. This opens up different abilities, and then changes the upgrade paths available as you play.
You can choose to upgrade certain abilities during a match, and knowing what to focus on is going to take some serious practice. We'll have to wait and see what the best of the three versions of Deadpool is, and whether it's better to upgrade specific abilities over others.
