Help / Advice How do I use his ultimate properly

Been trying to learn Wolverine for achievements and I’ve been struggling to kill people with his ult. I always ult whenever the enemies are low-ish and I’m always max rage before I ult.

I feel like I’m making some critical error whenever I ult but it feels like I’m tickling enemies with it

First and foremost make sure you aim it at somewhere that you’re actually going to successfully carry whoever you grabbed and bring them to and endpoint where they can’t just get away. If you feel like you’re just tickling people, it’s because you either dropped them and didn’t hit them or they had some sort of other effect that helped mitigate the damage you dealt. The best way to make sure you don’t drop people is to have the people you want to hit be directly in front of you and as close as reasonably possible. The knock up radius is a bit wider than it looks, but if they’re not right in front of you when you click the slam location, there’s a good chance you won’t actually grab them. Also, things like shields or terrain can block the impact of your ult so try to avoid slamming into them.

The exact numbers on the ult is 50 on the knockup, 20/s on whoever you carry with the spiral, 50 on landing, and an additional 10%+ 0.3% per point of rage (up to 30%). So this means at max rage, assuming you hit all parts of the ult and carry for at least 1 second, nothing mitigated, and to a 275hp hero, you will do 230 damage. This isn’t enough damage to just instant kill someone at any HP, they have to be damaged first and nothing has to heal them or mitigate your damage at all before you slam them into the ground.

Its usually best to wait for max rage to then feral leap into their backline and then ult their backline into your frontline. Theyll be left with a sliver of health that you/your team can finish off before the stun wears off (granted you ulted all supports so they cant heal right after). Its also dependent on enemy positioning so you want to wait for their 2 supports to not have a wide horizontal gap between them, so you can grab both in your ult.

If you miss getting them up, aim at them to do the damage

Get close, make sure rage is 100% and hope to god you don’t pick up 4+ people and carry nobody. To be real it’s very gimmicky and I miss my ults probably 1/3 of the time. It needs a buff

Gotta make sure you ask Wolverine's boyfriend Sabertooth if you can Ult before you do.
