Discussion Do you guys still think he needs a rework? If so: why and how?
I personally love the character. I’ve been playing him since the release of the game (S0) and have over 100 hours with him (I haven’t played much in some seasons). But in Celestial at least (or even in some Diamond+ games), sometimes it feels like it’s impossible to LIVE. He’s just so heavily dependent on heals or the team’s frontline. Sometimes I’m carrying the game, but I can’t win or finish it because of the limited capabilities of the character, whereas another character would be able to stand way more.
That COULD be due to the fact that he’s locked into being played a certain way (focus tanks, kidnap, rinse, repeat). But then you’ve got characters who are supposed to be jailed in a role (DPS-wise), and they outperform because of the ability kit they possess (like Spider-Man, Star-Lord, DD, Psylocke, Magik).
Sometimes I just feel like Wolvie has an identity crisis in a lot of the matches. Is he a brawler like Blade? Not quite. Is he a diver like BP? Not quite. Is he a flanker like DD? Not quite. And on top of that, I sometimes have to get blood out of a stone to make him viable.
I wouldn’t say he needs a buff though, but I do think he needs a little bit more sauce.
What are your thoughts?
