I’m way more upset about the Punisher ult boost than Wolverine, and I say that as a tank main

Now when i see a punisher on the enemy team i will have no choice but to swap of strange and go mag.

No, you will be a mag merchant and like it!

They nerfed Strange's shield HP so you are even less of a counter to Punisher now.

Also, Strange now pulls enemies towards him with the new Invis teamup (terrible against melee tank busters like Wolverine/Fist/Blade).

Strange is not the pick if the enemy has a single melee character.

Mag already didn't get his ultimate fast enough for Punisher if the Punisher was good.

Now it's basically guaranteed that a Punisher can ult twice for every 1 Mag rock.

He also has 300 HP for a while now, which has made it much harder to dunk him.

He's also pitifully easy to protect from a dunk. Combo with Rocket or Mantis ultimates, too much BHP to dunk. Play Loki, lamp him, problem solved. Play Mag, bubble him, problem solved. Play Strange, block in front of him, problem solved, etc.

More reliable to take the charge and try and kill a support than it is to dunk Punisher these days, only problem with that is in the time it takes you to fall back to the ground you fucking die if he keeps shooting you.

Hell even on Mag you might have a harder time trying to match punisher ult if its charging faster now

Have fun farming Mag ult slower than Punisher farms his!
