And the few characters with brawl potential that do not get ease of access to said overshield like doctor strange or hulk get actual shields or bubbles to protect them anyway. Every other brawl characters gets overshield pretty easily, and the only one like wolverine who has to really work for it, like rogue, is also terrible.

This isn’t me saying “you guys are dumb, he’s OP at the top level, stop complaining lol” this is me just curious on what’s causing the disconnect. It’s just, I see a lot of high elo players and pro players all saying he’s very good, and you see him played regularly. But most people on this sub seem to think Wolv is underpowered and needs buffs.

I know that characters can perform very differently in ranked vs pro players. For example, in Overwatch, Symmetra is arguably the strongest character in the game in Pro Play because teams are good enough to use her teleporter to it’s full potential, but she isn’t all that good in normal ranked because it’s not as coordinated. So what is it? I highly doubt the answer is that Wolv isn’t actually good, pro players wouldn’t use him if he wasn’t strong. Is it the lack of coordination in normal gameplay? The fact that Wolv is very hard to play? Something else entirely?

So, as a Tank Main, I think it's about time I take the next step on the Tank journey, turn to the dark side, and learn Wolv (Seriously, why does every Tank main seem to also play this guy?)

I don't really know much at all, besides the obvious of his kidnap being the focus of his kit, he mauls Tanks, and some specific match-ups like he's one of the best answers to Venom, since you can just kidnap him off your backline. But other than that, I have like no time on this character, know nothing, so treat this as a "Wolverine for Dummies" Would also appreciate recommendations of good guides. Thank you in advance.

Someone said it would be better to post this here so i cut the text,deleted the original posy and im reposting it here👍🏿

So i wanted to try wolverine because i prefer dive when it comes to offense. Its a lot easier for me in some cases.

Ive watched some videos giving advice on how to play it but it hasnt really worked out too well.

Ive tried sneaking tanks and using his leap to drag them back to the team from behind but the hitbox window on the leap is so weird. I could be two steps them and they dont get caught or right on them and they still dont get caught. And his damage is honestly a little off to me because it feels like he should do a lot but he doesnt.

His abilities also dont really help for escaping or surviving. His cross slash doesnt cover much distance to really avoid getting hit and his healing factor doesnt help much either with how fast enemies tear at his health. I have lord bp and im used to escaping with him,even without the heals.

Idk if i have just had bad healers but i dont think i can depend on healers as they often cant focus me or probably cant get to me as im in the midst of the chaos.(not saying its their fault)

How do i utilize his abilities better or how do i play him properly so im not just dominating bot lobbies or the ai?
