shyt is wild man. Every game folks fiend to ban wolverine, hulk, storm, and then cloak and dagger.
Wolverine, Storm, and one of hulk/iron duo - I play Mag mostly so I can deal with a CD.

I think thing is going to be a hard counter to Strange, shield can’t do anything and you lock him on the ground

Some assorted notes:

My ranked play experience:
- Bronze is like the wild west. You'll get complete messes of teams, you'll play messes, and one or two players sync'ing up can carry. I also ran into a bunch of lagouts here. It's not like we were losing and someone rage quit, my squads would be up or in a competitive fight and someone lags out round 1. It was frustrating.

- Silver at least has team concepts forming. Most teams have people willing to switch up to give you at least 2 healers and a vanguard. This was easier than Bronze for me. I stacked MVPs and dubs pretty quickly.

- Gold is where I'm currently at (Gold 2, and a win away from Gold 1). I haven't run into many trash players, though there's still plenty of mid around. I've seen some teams pull-up and sync their characters for team-up bonuses and ultimate combos. Those squads crushed my teams. But otherwise, it's been fairly smooth running. I'm not a consistent MVP anymore, but still comfortably a top-three on winning squads.

- Gold is the first rank where I've seen genuinely effective dive-bombers. I wasn't pressed at all as a healer in the bronze and silver ranks, except when my DPS or Vanguards were completely clueless. At gold, I've run into some really good Spider-man and Black Panther players.

Learning Wolverine:
- I'm trying to main Wolvey as my DPS, but I feel like I'm too reliant on my healers. I press up and can throw the back lines into chaos, but if their teammates backtrack to help, I can get bodied before my self-healing kicks in..

- I'm still new with him, so idk if it's just that I'm learning...but Wolverine's L1 attack, which can push a character away from their team feels inconsistent for me. I can't land it on Jeff or Rocket, and sometimes I fly right over the top of guys I was already pressed up to. But it's damn near an instant kill when I get it right.

- I'm still sloppy with the ultimate.

Notes for anyone tryna main Cloak and Dagger:
- I'm a lord with Cloak and Dagger, and I can carry using them against teams that aren't good. So some quick tips
- Splash healing is huge for Dagger. You can trail a vanguard and you'll get healing as you heal them. It's great for sticking to Strange or Magneto. Not so great if you're with a Venom who flies away and leaves you in a mess.

- Your splash healing will work if a melee character is fighting an enemy that you hit. So you can do damage and heal characters if they're battling up close.

- I've seen tip videos about conserving the bubble healing, but I find that to be wasteful. I fire bubbles ahead to dive bombers or drop them in a path where DPS shooters can walk up into the healing and keep firing. That frees me up to focus healing where the big battles.

- The ultimate is OP. Just don't waste it on your own survival. Use it, when you've got two or three teammates scrapping or to hold down a point/convoy.

- Cloak's L2 ability is underused by most Cloak and Daggers I've faced. If you time it right, you can cover teammates around you so everyone survives the big damaging Ults. It takes practice to get the timing down, but I've had some hero moments with a well-times cloak.

- You'll learn to use Cloak's L1 pretty quickly. It blinds opponents and lowers their defense. So it's great to switch to Cloak, blind opponents on the front lines and then switch back to Dagger for healing your allies while they body those blinded/weakened front guys.

- 80/20 Dagger/Cloak splits for me...unless my team is smoking the opponents. You're a healer first and foremost, but switch to Cloak to help finish off weakened opponents. Otherwise, focus on healing people and using Dagger's auto-hit on flying enemies like Iron Man and Storm.


I'm a wolverine main.

Wolverine is a tank killer. Use him for that purpose. His L1 works on tanks like Venom, Hulk, Groot, but it's hard to hit on small opponents, you basically got to breathing on them.

If you run up on groot, align your leap towards your team and y'all can pile on him.

I only just found out that Wolverine's damage scales based on the opponent's health. It completely makes sense since I found myself melting Vanguards but dragging against Healers. I've got a new approach to try now for sure. Many thanks!

I feel like The Hulk will be exposed as boring once Ben gets released. I said if from the beginning that the Hulk was too basic. Ben just seems way better in every aspect.
Funny I was thinking something similar, I think the thing will be slightly harder to play. The hulk can at least get in and out and block damage at will.


The thing we'll probably really depend on his healers even more so than the hulk

They definitely could rework Hulks kit down the line. Bens kit has personality and Hulks is bland. I think it will only get better from here with kit designs.

Just from watching the clips, I can tell I’m gonna main The Thing :banderas:

He disables mobility moves with the final hit of his dash and stuns with his ult.

Gonna be a blast to play him.
