Best Counters to Wolverine
How to Counter Wolverine
Wolverine has to stay within 3.5 m to hurt you, so keep him out with knockbacks, slows and walls, and focus him once Feral Leap is on its 12-second cooldown. Peni Parker and Groot handle him well because their webs, mines and walls stop a melee hero from reaching the backline. When Regenerative Healing Factor gives him 300 bonus health, back off for those 3 seconds and finish him afterward, when his Rage is back at zero and the passive is on a long cooldown.
