1: his backstory isn't that tragic. While he got bullied, he nevertheless looked up to Baku. He's no Naruto, or Goku.

2: More than anything he wins because of strategy. Which is rare, since it's often a matter of insane power. When he uses raw power, he tends to lose.

3: He doesn't really have a rivalry. While Baku is a rival in a sense, Deku is superior to him in many ways. In a sense his whole class considers him a rival, which i find to be somewhat rare (or i just don't read those manga).

I like the strategy, the creative power use. It's what i liked about Naruto.
