How to do well with wolverine?

[Birds Aren't Real]

I'm trying to get good with wolverine but he just seems weak to me. To get to a target usually means taking a few hits, or flanking and being useless for a bit. Then when you actually do jump on a tank, they can usually just get away with a movement ability anyway. Or stop to fight you and instakill you with the help of 1-2 others. Lord help you if you dive penny parker, she'll just 1 v 1 you.

I'm just looking for some explanations for why Wolverine isn't as bad as he seems.

From what I've seen, Wolverine is highly situational. I wouldn't pick him unless they have a ridiculously good tank that is just terrorizing my team.

I main wolverine. This character is not a diver at all, you are a helper for the tank. Let them push a bit forward so you can safely get to their tanks. Come as close to them as you can, shift and make a 180 degree turn so you can deliver their tank to your team (even better If you manage to put them around the corner). In team fights focus on tanks and you should be good. Keep your right click off of cooldown as much as you can, it is your escape ability to dodge every thing that will be thrown at you. Only use it when it is safe to do so
Althouh wolverine is super strong, I would not pick him against only 1 tank (you won't be able to help your team that much)

I am far from the best player, but he's useless against flying characters up high, and he needs to use cover to survive from ranged attacks. He is based around either having full rage, or using his leap then beserker slashes. Use your sheild ability at the opportune time (when you are outnumbered) to more safely build rage, and remember: you dont leap INTO them, you just have to be touching them; you can stand back to back with an opponent and as long as your models are touching, you can snatch them up, they just have to be pretty much standing still or you'll miss. This makes bringing them back to your team easier. I would tend not to use his ultimate unless rage is full, then getting the 3 kill award isn't too hard (quickplay has bots) :( Also in a 1v1 or DM you have to decide whether to keep you dash to get back to health, close the distance to finish them off, OR you can "chain" most of wolvies attacks and specials. SO you can give two normal combos, quickly dash to add more damage then combo back into his basic slashes; twoX4 combos, and his dash has all but recovered. I agree though, although he's not a Vanguard, he feels a bit weak sometime. You have to use his leap, then strafe in circles around them hitting them with your beserker slashes, or they'll get up and one shot you often, even with his shield on. :(

Hmm I actually haven't been staying with my tanks very often now that I think about it. Thanks for the tips, I think this is good advice.

In high elo ranks he is banned like 99% of games. Nobody wants to play against skilled Wolverine. His impact to game is so big that it quite hard makes enemy tanks game unplayable and when your tank(s) is either delusionally careful by presence of Wolverine or dead all the time by his assault, then your team has a big problem. It literally makes your team to play without tank or frontline and messes up game badly.
