nah, takes a certain rhythm but he is one of the stronger dudes. Very good at dealing with vanguard

He is a TANK BUSTER use him only to fight tanks .

Depends honestly, do you play quickplay Or ranked? (if so which rank?)
What's your ping?

In quickplay there's several issues for Wolverine.
One, enemies very often don't pick any tanks, which he is meant to counter.
Two, your teammates sometimes pick a comp that doesn't work with you.
Three, also goes for low ranks, you grab an enemy and your team completely ignores it cause they don't realise the enemy you grabbed is literally a free kill.
Four, people are generally just worse and even if you go 20-0-0 you sometimes sit at 5k damage and teammates will blame you for doing no damage and then throw the match to "punish" you.

In ranked, it kind of goes the same in lower ranks, but as you climb higher you eventually get better players and you eventually feel the real value Wolverine has.


Ping, after experimenting with different servers and pings, it really does feel terrible to play Wolverine at high ping. (high ping being 120+ in my tests)
At high ping the leap grabs enemies WAY less often. And when you leap it often desyncs and tries to pull you back, though it's relatively random.
Issue is lower ping (40 being default for me at the server that is hardly 100km away or so. Despite games with the same server location having 2-10 ping for me)
So I very often experience grabbing someone, with no enemies or teammate interrupting it, the enemy just teleports back to where I originally grabbed them.



So in general when people are good Wolverine gets some great value.
Biggest issue: ping/desyncs are sometimes bothersome.

Wolverine is op. Just make sure to kidnap enemy tanks into your team and do m2 into shift - connects better that way

"TeamCaptain" has a good guide on him, if you're more of a visual learner.
Besides that, Wolverine's % based dmg makes him dependent on what the enemy picks. But both his grab and his ult are super quick ccs, so if you get used to them, it's easy to get kills.

Oh yes, Wolverine is OP. And thats why you never ever seen him used. All these players just dont want to have the unfair advantage and pick him all the time.

He's boring to play and is effectively permabanned in ranked (am in celestial atm, was eternity last season) because of how good he is. There's no reason to learn him if he's just going to be banned anyway.

See all that right there holds zero weight. Because the other 70% of player base below diamond that dont have the option to ban him dont even have to worry because no one picks him anyway.....because he is Soooooo OP.

Honestly. I have so many games with Wolverine as MVP it isn't even funny. He is strong as balls if you know how to use him. Even better if you have a team that actually backs you up to. Got to keep those claws red. Massive damage. know when to back off and leave. Dare say wolverine might even be my main. Now that the thing is out it's just free food for me. Ally thing throws me near him speed slash him to hell he runs away I leap towards him just to get more speed slashes and burst him into oblivion very fast. Great displacement hero as well forcing enemies into your own team that are vulnerable with leap. Great engage and disengage speed. Lots of pros for him. But he has some cons to.
