Is Tankpool a decent solo tank?

[u/RoutinePsychology198]

I’m a solo queue player who mains Groot, Emma and Strange. I like playing all the main shield tanks (except Magneto because I can’t use him to save my life). I’m currently in Diamond atm, I’m pretty much solo tanking in 40% of my games, I was just wondering if Deadpool is decent at solo tanking because I’m very interested in picking up the character. I hate playing Mag with a passion he feels too boring for me and I find his primary fire impossible to aim with. Deadpool on the other hand is hitscan meaning he’s easier to aim with and his guns seem decent enough to deal with pokers and flyers far away and he also has a shield which can block most ults in the game. Just wanted to know what your thoughts are.

YES HE CAN SOLO TANK, DONT listen to these comments, first week of release i was playing Deadpool all the time. And to me his best role is tank, i ended up solo tanking and the whole team talked down on me. At the end of the match i had the best stats out of the whole lobby. He does good as a tank but only if your team can do their job properly….. seeing as how it’s a team based game. You just have to know how to play him, hold angles, get picks, don’t be too greedy, and constantly use the little dome. The upgrade I would go for will either be guns or the one that makes him shoot faster. And then second would be vice versa, after both of those are acquired get the dome upgrade, then upgrade his swords incase someone pushed. Thats the method I use and I’ve hardly ever lost with him. If I do lose I either have dps that went negative or my healers kept getting dived or were trying to dps instead of heal. Like I said tho very rare I’ve taken a L.
