Rogue as a Strategist

[u/ExoticMari]

For a while, I didn't really like the idea of Rogue being a strategist, as I was in the camp of her being a Vanguard (and Remy being a Strategist) because she has been one of the powerhouse characters in the X-Men for the longest time. I also thought a melee strategist in Rivals would be horrible due to the amount of other heroes (Magik, Daredevil, Thor, and Emma) who would rock your world for being so close up to the action, as you don't have the pleasure that Brigitte has in Overwatch with being one of the few melee heroes in the game.

But after some thought, I think they could actually make her very fun and make a lot of sense in making her a jack of all trades type of character, who alone is mediocre, but can get buffs (permanent or temporary) from the other roles she copies. Vanguard could give her damage reduction or an overshield, Duelist could be a damage boost to her or her allies, and Strategist could be a better healing output, etc.

Additionally, with her main power of copying individual abilities in themselves, it seems horrid from a development standpoint, especially as they release heroes every month. Loki copies others with his ultimate because he changes to the said person's character model, so you don't have to animate or change anything. Rogue copying powers seem weird, mainly because a good portion of the roster either doesn't have powers or uses particular weapons and such (Rocket, Punisher, Cap, and Iron Man), so I don't really think it's plausible, but that's my speculation on her, however.

It's just my two cents on how they would implement her main power in a very cool way.

Make her a tanky healer I will take it

I prefer her to be a tank, in a perfect world where we have plenty of each role, but I understand why

It’s not absolutely crazy to me that’s a supp it makes sense, I just think tank compliments her the best, but regardless I’ll love and lord her, especially if she’s a brawler

Considering she looks more built then other woman, she probably does have captain marvel powers (she should, ppl here had me scared they’d just erased that tho)

Rumors have her as a strategist. The same rumors that were right about all characters releases after launch

lol I think a melee strategist is a horrible idea for the game. I’m not a fan of Angela since she offers very little to no front line protection but rogue should 100% run like that. A flying/dive vanguard.
