It's ridiculous how Wolverine at 100% rage needs 7 strikes to down puny Bruce Banner, it should only take 4 to 5 strikes
WHAT IF? A hero EMOTE that can be used on all of that heroes' skins like the Thing's Helmet Ready emote but only you and allies can see it, enemies still see the default animation.
Say you like a specific Spider-Man skin so much but it doesn't have a unique VFX since it's not legendary, the solution = an emote that can be used on all Spidey's skins. Just an animation change.
To avoid confusion on the enemies' side, they will only see the default ones but you and your teammates will see the changed animation unless your teammates turned it off in the settings.
Animation change is very easy for Marvel Rivals Developers since they can already make the heroes do sophisticated dance moves with emotes:
- Hulk's default Radioactive Lockdown animation
- is not a Hulk Tuah (Gamma Spit) anymore, it generates from one arm like his clap
- Wolverine's default Heated Claws at 100% rage
- is turned into a red rage color and his right-click dash has a reddish white contrail too instead of orange
- Spider-Man's Amazing Combo which is just a spinning uppercut move with a webbed fist
- is now a spinning cool kick (Spidey's only kick is the 3rd melee attack that only a few use) and they can even add some exploding web particle effects
Why this works: More funds for Marvel Rivals and more hype for the customers for their specific heroes.
Starlord's backflips are changed into a cosmic smoke now hence the i-frames.
Blade's ult slashes are blue now.
Captain America throws his shield with more style.
You get the idea.
After seeing Black Cat's gameplay isn't it time for Wolverine to have a wall climb? No wall camping, he will slide down once you stop moving.
You have to wait for 3s when you missed getting on the 2nd floor. Wolverine has claws for climbing.
He cannot wall camp, if you stop moving, he will start to descend. He could even have a wall climb meter so that you can't spam it just going up always. Horizontal movement and wall running is even possible and cooler but even a basic vertical climb would do wonders for him.
Wolverine is a bottom 5 least picked hero in the Marvel Rivals official website (4/14/2026) he has the worst range for a melee character in-game too! And in a hero shooter, he's a melee character with no movement speed boost that's why only a handful play him.
Wolverine gets pushed back a lot with just 1 dash (right-click with 3s cooldown) you combo with the feral leap (snatch), maybe it's time for a 2nd dash too? 2 charges of the 3s cooldown dash?
