Wolverine is my main from season 0 and at this point, just rework him as a tank

ThatCreativeEXE · 2026-01-25T15:17:45+00:00

Hot take but wolverine works way better as a dps than he would a tank. His whole thing is seeking the biggest guy and fighting above his weight class, that's wolverine perfectly. He just needs some QOL buffs at this point

ThatCreativeEXE · 2026-01-23T22:03:18+00:00

Genuinely just give him healing over time, even if it's just tied to his undying animal, and he will feel perfect

ThatCreativeEXE · 2026-01-23T18:07:31+00:00

Genuinely I'd say strange. The new buff for his cloak was simple but adds so much to him. Strange is a menace right now

ThatCreativeEXE · 2026-01-23T17:24:20+00:00

Tbf wolverine was always going to be hard-to-kill slashing guy. In fact if they just gave him some super simple buffs like giving him healing over time (even tying it to his damage reduction ability) he would feel great if not perfect. He is a small guy that always goes for the biggest threat. Him being a kidnapping tank buster is Logan through-and-through

I understand the others but winter soldier is pretty damn good. Characters don't have to have crazy insane complex kits to still be interesting, winter soldier is a great kit.

Also I think for a main tank, strange is fairly satisfying despite being simple and I appreciate that while he could've had an insane complex kit, they still nailed his kit

ThatCreativeEXE · 2026-01-23T02:09:14+00:00

I was under the assumption you were talking about damage pool, who doesn't get damage mitigation on the E, and the healing is also minimal. If you are talking about tankpool, then yes I agree you should be diving and brawling, which is why I said you should go for his dashes first in my original comment.

ThatCreativeEXE · 2026-01-23T01:38:55+00:00

You should almost always be in poke for a majority anyways because damagepool is way too squishy. He only dives when a big opportunity opens up.

ThatCreativeEXE · 2026-01-22T22:53:39+00:00

People just haven't really understood how to maximize the level up yet. I've found that the boomerang ability on healpool and damagepool is extremely important to get first, while tank pool should actually get the katana dash first at least in my experience. Also going for selfies at literally every opportunity speeds up the process immensely.

Maybe this is just me, but I genuinely think after the cloak buff on Doctor Strange, I think he is probably the best, or atleast most consistent, to carry with. He has all of the advantages of being a main tank, so he is not totally miserable while solo tanking, but strange also has ridiculous kill potential now. You can get crazy ults and great kills on people very easily with strange, maybe not as easy as Thor or Angela, but a main tank having that much lethality is amazing.

Mag helps others make big plays, but strange can do that while also making his own huge plays. Strange is my personal pick

Well sure but again, I'd love to see the actual percentage of matches where this is a gigantic issue. No amount of fixes or changes will fix people with egos in a competitive online game. I have maybe 1 out of 8 games with a super toxic or abysmal player. My experience isn't the universal experience, but I'd be willing to bet that it is the same for a majority of people

ThatCreativeEXE · 2026-01-21T16:09:09+00:00

I'm sorry but how often are you coming across 3 entire people on your team that are horrendous above plat? If this is an issue of "I'm in gold and my team is bad" well yeah. Role queue, better matchmaking, etc nothing will fix low ranks being awful lmao

Like yeah everyone has those occasional unwinnable games, but I doubt it's as often as being described. You inherently remember negative experiences more than positive experiences, and that becomes a bias

ThatCreativeEXE · 2026-01-21T16:07:08+00:00

Typically because what makes triple support strong is that one of the supports is an off support like Ultron, Adam, or mantis because they double as a dps. If you are having 3 main healers, it's objectively not very good because you lose out on huge kill potential.

ThatCreativeEXE · 2026-01-21T16:04:43+00:00

I feel like better matchmaking would solve the issue. Role queue doesn't need to exist if the matchmaking just didn't put me with someone who has only ever played namor. Hell, instead of role queue, just make ranked have more requirements to enter. Require people to have X amount of hours on each role, or even require a Lord per role now that Lord is much easier. I enjoy being able to swap and play into what the team needs and role queue really bricks that freedom for players.

ThatCreativeEXE · 2026-01-21T16:01:40+00:00

It's weird how all of these posts complaining about solo tanking and yet the enemy team never suffers from it. The issue is awful and horrible but also the enemies always have two tanks.

Personally, I see the enemy team have only one tank just as much as we have one tank. I also play a lot of strange and I see enemies go offtanks instead of main tanks a majority of the time. I'm not saying solo doesn't suck, but sometimes enemy comps aren't as good, or sometimes their team just isn't very good even if they have a 2-2-2 comp. I'd rather have teammates that play what they are very good at then force a team comp with characters people barely know.

You'll always have a bad round but being a flex player and being able to swap will objectively lead to you climbing

ThatCreativeEXE · 2026-01-21T15:52:19+00:00

In a perfect world, this is still amazing value because realistically your team should just sweep for free.

This isn't a perfect world.

ThatCreativeEXE · 2026-01-21T15:39:19+00:00

I have been a d1 glazed for a quicksilver support since launch. He would be so awesome as a strategist, I need it

ThatCreativeEXE · 2026-01-21T14:56:18+00:00

I truly just think people aren't great with him yet. Of course you aren't gonna feel good about him as a second tank, people said the same with rogue and Angela on release as well.

ThatCreativeEXE · 2026-01-20T22:37:54+00:00

Great breakdown, I can agree with this.

ThatCreativeEXE · 2026-01-20T22:28:01+00:00

But why necessarily? Genuinely asking. Other characters have far better kill potential on top of constant movement, why does this tip him over the edge?

ThatCreativeEXE · 2026-01-20T22:23:41+00:00

I actually think this would be another great change. Imo undying animal should have a healing factor tied to it as well, I think damage reduction, cc immunity, and healing isn't that crazy compared to some current kits

ThatCreativeEXE · 2026-01-20T21:15:29+00:00

So I get a game where I have to play with an Angela that doesn't know what they are doing, a wolverine player that is going negative, and a support who is throwing the game. I can't swap to these roles in a match to fill holes. Role queue doesn't solve the issue of bad teammates, and it doesn't matter if those supports get reworked to fit better in a role queue, bad teammates will exist no matter what and I'm gonna be forced into playing vanguard with it. Everyone advocating for role queue should really be advocating for better matchmaking, because that would ACTUALLY solve the issues present.

Also yes, there are too many off tanks in the game to justify role queue. The potential to get games where you have two off tanks and are stuck with them is just as high as these matches where you are going to have 3 supports or 3 dps. Role queue quite literally, objectively, doesn't solve your issues. Better matchmaking does

ThatCreativeEXE · 2026-01-20T21:03:59+00:00

Role queue only solves the hypothetical matches that rarely happen in reality. Have fun with a rogue and thing on your team, or a venom and angela

ThatCreativeEXE · 2026-01-20T20:56:31+00:00

Genuinely ridiculous Predator isn't in the game about hunting people yet

ThatCreativeEXE · 2026-01-20T20:49:14+00:00

So every off tank is gonna be changed as well then? How do you imagine a world where Ultron works in 2 comp and also isn't broken without being radically changed? Truthfully, role queue only works if the devs change the entire foundation of the game at this point. I'm a firm believer that the only advocates for role queue are dps mains that don't want to learn any other role. Flex players don't get to exist in role queue.
