For the love of avocado pancakes, fix Wolverine's Feral Leap!

[Jarek Defiler]

Everyone kept saying how much Wolverine sucks and so I thought I'd dedicate some time trying him out today. I actually rather enjoy him and tend to do fairly well. Even got MVP a few times. I like his style and although he is definitely not as strong as most DPS heroes, he still is capable when played decently well.

However, he has two major issues that basically makes me lose fights if they don't work:

1 - Feral Leap is the most inconsistent ability in this game imo. Jeff and Rocket are virtually immune to it because it will simply jump over them rather than snatching them up. Other times, it will simply go through heroes without snatching them up. Was playing against a Groot, his entire body was covering my screen yet when I leapt, I see Wolverine pass through his body with no woodman in tow. Severely broken ability. Not sure if it's a hitbox thing or a registration thing (thinking the latter).

2 - Information being communicated to the player in regard to his health regen. I still am not entirely sure how this thing works. There will be times when I get jumped by 2-3 guys and am able to fight them off, sometimes even taking 1-2 down due to my big beefy overhealth/health regen juicing me up at the perfect time. Other times, I will do the exact same combo and nothing happens. I don't know why or how I am doing it (or not doing it lol) and the game doesn't really explain it. Granted, I am a noob and have only started playing Wolverine today.

All that said, I still really enjoy him. But the jankiness of his Feral Leap loses fights all the time. Fix that one issue and I think he would be heaps better.

Two cents from a noob.

His passive triggers taking fatal damage
Has a 90 second cooldown
Bonus health gained is increased by how much rage you had at time of trigger, after a few seconds, any remaining bonus health will heal you for that much

Okay. thank you! I didn't see that stated anywhere in the game but maybe I'm just blind lol.

It's a passive with a 90 cooldown you can see it as the leftmost skill in your skill list in-game. Cooldown carries over death, but any kill/assist you get reduces the cooldown by 10 seconds so if you're playing decently with your team you'll probably average about 40 seconds or so.

Wolverine's "healing factor" passive is a sick joke.

Feral Leap needs a bigger hitbox.

Seriously. I started playing him recently and I enjoy the style but leap misses like 80% of the time. You just jump right over them. Even doing the dash and being "inside" them I will still somehow manage to jump over them. I have tried aiming at the ground while doing it and he still jumps over almost everyone.

W9olverine is op of course you got mvp
people saying he sucks are sucka at game

The worst part is that Feral Leap is one of the 4 criteria to up his proficiency, but since it barely works, he might as well only have 3. He's easily taking me longer than any other character to get to even Centurion, let alone Lord. (I have 3 others to Lord already, and several to Centurion)

I hope tomorrow's patch fixes it's hitbox.

I once was in the Throne Room on one of the balconies overlooking the point, and leapt off the balcony with Feral Leap and grabbed a Namor from the ground directly below the balcony.
I wish I had saved that replay because it was baffling. I haven't been able to repeat that.

As someone who is actually trying to get him to Lord so he might accompany my beautiful Goddess Storm, I truly hope they fix it very soon.

I think the best thing to do would be is to add the travel line like Hulk's charged leap. Would make it easier to aim.

I only miss it about 1 in 5 times and i chalk that up to my own errors. Perhaps just practice it some? Perhaps its a ping issue so the enemy is not where you think they are?

Dude I make physical contact with Iron Man mid-leap and it doesn't grab him. Like I impact characters and it alters my forward velocity and it still doesn't grab them. It's janky af

Again it may be a ping or performance issue. I know that FPS directly changes dps some. Having a slight ping would make it seem like you bounced of them on your screen but then slipped off because in reality they had already moved on their screen you just handnt seen it on your side yet.

Im honestly not sure what the problem your having is, but when i play him i hit most of mine. Perhaps certain moves being used by certain characters makes them immune? IDK

the leap is meant for tanks hence why it whiffs on smaller target Wolverine is a Hard Anti tank fighting anyone but tanks it sorta spending the same amount of fuel to go less distance

And fix his Deadpool&Wolverine skin... right shoulder is bouncing while running forward.
