Why is Wolverine not good?

[BigEazy]

Since I learned the playstyle I think hes very good I can get 2-4 kills before death. Mind you I'm a beginner. Does he suck at higher ranks?

[Bluebeard]

He's actually got the third highest win rate after Hulk and Mantis.

Well, his main weakness is that he's very "all-in" with few chasing tools; some characters can literally walk backwards faster than he can walk forwards, meaning he needs to use 2 abilities with very long cooldowns to keep close to them. If someone like Rocket just boosts up a floor, then he's left incapable of reaching them.

With that said, he is very good at "abduction"; approaching from behind, using his anti-air tackle, and dragging an enemy into the middle of his team to tear apart. His percent-based damage also makes him a tankbuster, especially against melee tanks like Thor and Venom.

he is usually 2 headshotted by hela before he even approaches the enemy(his health on death cd is 90 second)

[Cpt Obvious]

If you play him incorrectly as a flanker, which he is not, you will suck. If you play him as tank hunter you can be as good as the top Wolverines which includes several in the top 500.

everyone keeps saying he sucks but I just tried him a couple days ago and eviscerated with him, had a blast, got mvp. Idk man just land your skills and stay enraged as long as possible and slash them, especially tanks and shields

[BigEazy]

I just got a 5 KO with my ultimate. He can't be that bad. Won the game with it.

Wolverine is probably the hardest hero in the game to tier-rize. Imo

I think players were quick to label him low tier simply because he doesn't play like how they imagined he would in their heads based on the preconceived knowledge they have of him from comics, cartoons, and other video games.

Let's be real, most players just pick the hero and then go into a match thinking that he's gonna have some crazy high move speed and that they're gonna just run in brainlessly and start spamming left click on every hero in sight. All while taking advantage of his cool healing factor because it's Wolverine after all. But that's not how he works at all.

You should watch YouTube videos of the number one ranked Wolverine and see how he plays, you'll quickly change your tune.

Dies in 2 seconds vs competent teams, needs a dedicated healbot to do anything.

Him, Magic, iron fist, and even psylock to some degree, need healers to keep them up and running when the brawl breaks out

He needs a remake. Why he is not a tank is just laughable. Also the high cool down on his abilities... he is outclassed by nearly everyone else.

Hes not bad at all, watch out for those yellow wolverines x.x

What?

[Kyutaru]

He's great against vanguards, especially ones that are being healed. Invincible they are not.

Pretty sure Wolverine isn't a tank/vanguard because they are making Vanguards typically bigger models, whether it is height or overall scale.
If they add Sabretooth(I hope they do), he will most likely be a Vanguard style Wolverine.
