A new hero joins the battle every month in Marvel Rivals, which means there are always exciting additions to look forward to. A reliable leaker in the community may have uncovered two of Marvel's finest set to be joining the roster soon—Deadpool and Daredevil.
X0XLEAK is a trusted source in the community, as everything they have posted so far has ended up in the game. This time, they've shared some voice lines between various Marvel Rivals heroes and these two new recruits.
On X (formerly Twitter), X0XLEAK posted two videos packed with leaked voice lines for each character. So far, we only have the lines said to these characters by existing heroes in the game, but these teasers have clear references to both Daredevil and Deadpool.
For now, Daredevil only has leaked dialogue with Venom and Squirrel Girl. Venom tells Daredevil, "We do not like the way you have been looking at us, Devil," while Squirrel Girl says, "You heard the man with the horns, more skittering, less chittering."
The merc with a mouth has a lot more voice lines, which isn't all that surprising considering Deadpool's overly talkative nature. He's already got lines with Hulk, Punisher, Rocket Raccoon, Storm, Doctor Strange, Magik, Mantis, Venom, Spider-Man, Scarlet Witch, Peni Parker, Namor, and, of course, his best bud, Wolverine.
Some of the best voice lines that have leaked so far are Wolverine saying, "I think I've finally stabbed you in the head one too many times," Rocket Raccoon saying, "Who was that guy? It's like he never stopped talking, even when he was down for the count," and Namor saying, "I have no idea what you're blathering about, cretin."
Deadpool and Daredevil are two of Marvel's coolest and most iconic characters, so I'm certainly excited to see some solid teasers for their arrival. My excitement is overshadowed with worry, though, as I fully expect they'll both be Duelists, thus inflating this already massive group of heroes even further and amplifying the already present issue of too many characters in this category and not enough Vanguards or Strategists.
Of course, the roles for both characters haven't been confirmed yet, but it's tough to see these two as anything other than Duelists. Their skills just don't match up with a large tank designed to sustain heavy damage and draw enemy fire or a support unit focused on healing and lending help to allies. The devs could always surprise us and get extra creative with their kits, but these two just feel like they were born to be Duelists.
I'm a big fan of both Deadpool and Daredevil, but can we please focus on evening out the roster instead of adding two more Duelists? I know the devs have been trying to force players to test out other roles, but it hasn't really worked, which means Strategists and Vanguards will likely continue to suffer when these two arrive.
Because of how iconic Daredevil and Deadpool are, I feel like it'll be even worse than just a Duelist being added, as many players will likely be extra eager to play these two if they're one of their favorite characters. I know the devs have said they plan their releases around 12 months in advance, so it's likely the schedule for the next year or so is already fully set, but we desperately need mostly Strategists and Vanguards, not two more Duelists.
In season three, we already had back-to-back Duelist debuts with Phoenix and Blade's arrival. As a Strategist and Vanguard main, it's been absolutely brutal. I'm not saying we should forget adding any Duelists at all, but we should at least be getting two Vaguards and two Strategists for every Duelist that arrives until things even out. We really need it. I want to be fully excited about the likely impending arrival of Deadpool and Daredevil, but I just can't get over my worry and frustration.
What do you think about the leaks, Destructoid? Are you excited for Deadpool and Daredevil's likely arrival sometime in the near future? Are you also wishing for more Strategists and Vanguards? Let us know your thoughts down in the comments so we can discuss.
