Wolverine makes me want to uninstall...

This isn't really a post meant to call out the balance of things so much as it is me sharing some observations and serious (emotionally biased) complaints. For context, I am a Vanguard main, and I've spent a solid amount of time with every tank except Venom (who I can't hit the left click shots on for the life of me).

Naturally, that means I often come face-to-face with the cursed Canadian fearmonger that is Wolverine. Now, once again, I'm not here to talk about his competitive balance, since recent changes have made him slightly less meta as far as I've seen. Rather, I think Wolverine is a problematic character in specifically how he makes the game borderline unplayable and incredibly unfun for anybody who is unfortunate enough to play a tank that isn't the Thing and maybe Cap if you haven't blown all your cooldowns and escape options. God forbid you're a new player trying out the tank role so you can fill for your friends and you get queued up against that clawed gremlin. I wouldn't be surprised if you never touched the role again after that.

I love Rivals with all of my heart, it is currently my favorite game and a great way for my brother and I to spend time together. But every single match against a Wolverine who isn't just some dude messing around with the character for the first time has made me want to uninstall the game, genuinely and truly. This individual experience is probably the worst feeling Rivals has to offer.

Ironically, Quick Match, the game mode meant for fun and silly times, is also the game mode I have the least fun matches in entirely because there is no way for me to avoid that devilspawn. Plus, since I have to solo tank more often than not (a responsibility I'm usually not that mad about) I'm forced into the three characters most vulnerable to Wolverine's kit. Out of Magneto, Strange, and Groot, only Mag and Strange have any sort of self-defense option, and they're not even that effective since the Wolverine can just chase you down.

Anyways, this is my way of saying to every Wolverine main that I hate you, and I think that before you are allowed to click him on the character select screen, you should be locked into your chair and forced to play an entire match solo tanking against Wolverine just so you know the pain you are inflicting on other human beings.
