I main venom but when he’s banned I play wolverine

I genuinely have to play White Fox when I want to feel like Wolverine.

Wolverine is supposed to be the character who gets in your face, claws people up, refuses to die, and gets stronger the longer he stays in the fight.

But right now, playing Wolverine often feels like fighting the game itself. His survivability and overall ability to actually brawl don't feel like they match the fantasy of the character.

And somehow Wolverine wasn't given any form of regenerative health.

How does Wolverine -- probably one of the most famous regenerating characters in Marvel -- not have regenerative health?

He has such an awkward design where he kidnaps tanks and then runs away while his cooldowns reset.

And then White Fox comes along and somehow does Wolverine better.

She has an ability that lets her fight with her claws where she heals herself by hitting enemies and, for at least a tiny part of the match, actually gets to live out that tanky brawling playstyle.

That's the part that bothers me most. I don't just want Wolverine to be stronger -- I want him to feel like Wolverine.

Instead, White Fox is giving me more of the Wolverine experience than Wolverine himself.

I really hope the devs revisit his kit rather than just giving him a numbers buff. Wolverine needs a stronger identity as a relentless, self-healing melee brawler.

If I have to lock White Fox to get my Wolverine fix, something has gone wrong.

I haven't played wolverine since like season 2 and my first game back with him I went 22-1 with the most damage, a penta, and 14 final hits

He looks like a bara OC here, and I'm all for it

If a character is only viable when the entire team baby sits that character, he simply isnt viable.

Characters like Black Cat, Bucky, Elsa, Punisher, etc, are genuinely S tier because they:
- Work at all ranks
- Extremely independent
- Can be played in almost any team comp
- Can solo carry games
- Can destroy tanks and supports equally
- Have overloaded kits for max versatility
- Have very little bad matchups

Wolverine has absolutely zero of these qualities. Even characters that he is supposed to counter completely obliterate him in many scenarios.

So I ask again, if a character only works in 1% of teams, 1% of matches, against 1% of enemies, how the hell are they S tier?

I am entirely sick of people in the primary sub saying the same "Wolverine is already an S" instead of actually having any sense of genuine discussion about his very blatant shortcomings in terms of balance and overall powerfantasy. How do we have Felicia having a billion mechanics that aren't even hers in her kit, but Wolverine cant have out of combat regen, are we dead ass?

What will it take to be treated like the "sexy" cashcow women who run the game? Watch them drop X-23 with huge tits and ass, then give her out and in combat healing, wall climbing, scent detection through walls, and 3 legendaries.

The Upside

But through it all, theres something very "Logan" about all this. He's never once had it easy in his life, and moments that happened to be, were fleeting. Its partly due to his healing factor, but Wolverine has consistently been the Xman to endure the worst of the worst types of pain and trauma. People wont understand you, people will want to keep you down, people will hate you, and thats okay.

So🖕

2 of the most popular heroes in Marvel are the least picked, Wolverine has a new game that drops next month and Cap carries as shown in the trailers of Doomsday which releases in December.
‎

‎

Only the top 1% players with voice chat and team coordination can make them work, top players can make the worst heroes look good even Black Widow before her rework, after her rework there were more players picking her so she is not a bottom dweller anymore.

‎

‎

Cap's shield breaks so fast it's ridiculous and no damage buff was given to him even with the team-ups introduced so he tickles and his damage gets outhealed.

‎

‎

Most players who are against Wolverine still can't move on from the Phoenix-Wolverine team up that happened a long time ago. Wolverine feels like a joke right now with how easily he gets bursted down or pushed back by everyone's abilities, dude has the worst melee range.

CAP'S LIBERTY RUSH [ 30 damage, CC immunity on Cap ]:

• Magneto's right-click can push and Thor's hammer push is spammable.
• make Cap's Liberty Rush (shield charge) actually push someone (he gets body blocked by even Rocket Raccoon)

‎

• during Ult, Liberty Rush upgrades: push like Bucky's uppercut and increase it to 50 damage
• using it instantaneously gives +30 shield health (not bonus health on Cap but shield value)

‎

• Cap's Bucky team-up jump is slow (compared to Thing's ally jump) without a teammate it's useless
• Cap's Thor team-up is weak and only gets a +5 damage boost when Thor is present

‎

• Like another user pointed out: Liberty Rush is countered by body blocking in front of it, something is extremely wrong when the counter is taking it head on but try doing that on Thor's hammer push
• how can everyone body block the shield push as if they have the Thing's passive?

‎

‎
WOLVERINE'S UNDYING ANIMAL [ 1 effect only, a 40% damage reduction on Logan ]

• the Thing's ally leap has 3 effects: 20% damage reduction on Thing, on his allies within a 5m radius. and a very quick jump to escape (unlike Cap's Bucky team-up jump)
• make Logan's Undying Animal upon cast, heal him 35 health

‎

• then 10 bonus health per second for the duration (max 40 bonus health in 4s)
• lower Wolverine's percentage damage a bit but give +5 flat damage to his basic attacks and abilities, he tickles duelists and supports

‎

• give him a +0.5m increase to his melee range OR a +0.5m/s movement speed boost at 100% rage (Blade gets a movement speed boost immediately by turning on his lifesteal)
• Wolverine's Cyclops team-up dash got a distance nerf and the enhanced version is a joke

‎

• give him 200 green health
• so Wolverine's supposed to just die if he is on low health and there are no healing packs nearby?

NO HERO FANTASY for them...

I thought wolv was supposed to be for tank busting, but it doesn't even look like he can do that. He and Deadpool (duelist) are the only ones with both negative win rates and pick rates below 2%.

i recently trying to learn wolv and I've been rocking so hard on comp and this is by far my first time doing this ult team save i hope you rate it and enjoyyy!!

Yeah I don't know where all the health pots are on this map since I stopped playing around its release (due to power creep), but still.

This sort of scenario happens constantly on a dive playstyle when playing Wolv.

Insomniac cooked up another banger outfit and I really want to see how it translates to the rivals art style since the spider man 2 skin looked really in this game and also when are we getting a legendary and could the Xmen 97 skin be for us?

Which is it Logan, does your healing factor only proc whenever the supports look your way or are you simply boasting about it to make yourself feel better?

I don't think I can support a mutant who isn't open and honest about the effectiveness of their healing factor...
