This new update with low profile legends taking body damage on their limb shots is completely OUT OF CONTROL. It has destroyed the game. You guys are going to LOSE MONEY because people like me don't want to buy the Wraith skin considering how bad Wraith is now. Wraith gets absolutely melted, Pathfinder too, and no one even plays Lifeline or Watts anymore. The reason people still pick Path and Wraith is because they are attached to them, the poor souls can't let their favorite character go. Low profile legends are at such an incredible disadvantage now that IT HAS DISCOURAGED TEAM PLAY. Low profile legends either aren't picked or are feeling like they must sit back with a sniper rifle, because they will be absolutely melted at close range battles. Low profile players are finding themselves avoiding combat, due to their overwhelming disadvantage in battle. This gave legends that needed buffs such as Mirage and Octane an edge, yes, but this was NOT the way to do it. Wraith and Pathfinder mains are devastated that they can no longer get in a fight without being downed near-instantly. Being more comfortable in close-range engagements, playing low profile legends is entirely out of the question for me now. However, even playing other legends, (I'm an Octane main that's recently grown comfortable with Wraith) I'm always picking up any low-profile teammates. (Usually a pathfinder. They're always the first ones down, now.) Please reduce the limb shot damage back to how it was before.This is completely absurd, unnecessary, and infuriating. While I'm talking about hitboxes, please, please PLEASE refine Octane's hitbox. You can shoot a foot above his head and still have it count as a headshot. That's the entire reason I started playing Wraith before this stupid limb damage update! People are really being forced out of playing their favorite legends.

@SorryWeDied Nah man, the low profile legends aren't suddenly going to get melted 10x easier. You're kind of overestimating how big the change is. At most, the Low profile legends die 1.08x faster, and that's not much.Lots of people play Wattson, although mainly in competitive.Lifeline, less so, but that's because Gibby has some of her abilities.You are kind of blowing this out of proportion. I literally played Wraith today just for some missions, and I did really well. I was doing duos with a friend, and actually slightly carrying them. (they were octane too)Maybe the reason that your Low Profile teammates keep getting knocked is because they rush too much. This can be an easy mistake, especially for Pathfinder as he is really mobile. They might grapple in, hoping to get in a cheeky knock or two, but end up getting focus-fired by two enemies.But yeah, Octane needs hitbox fixing.

Another cry baby that was bad at the game, but abusing a broken mechanism which was Wraith hitbox, and was getting away with bad strafing, but now when the actual skills matter, he is getting melted. How it was? Oh god, there is a god.Finally.Now we are on equal pars.You actually needs to be good in order to have success with the Wraith and Pathfinder.The nerf was well deserved and she even deserve a bit more nerfing. Pathfinder too.And no one was attach to Wraith or Path, if you really are, you won`t complain but just still play them. They were picked because they were OP, and were abusing a broken small hitbox mechanics, that allowed them to get away with getting dodging bullets, just because of the small hitbox.Wraith up close with a PK was a nightmare. Its still is, but now there is a bit of balance. I like that.Noobs obviously don`t like that. :D

Nah bro your on drugs imagine a wraith and Gibraltar both land in the same room and pick up the same weapon but they both have no armour Gibraltar will win this exchange 10/10 times cause his armshield gives him 175 health. so tell me.how does nerfing her low profile help? this also applies to all the bigger characters bloodhound caustic they have a buff that gives them extra health so why nerf the smaller characters even more?

@SorryWeDied Wraith, Path and Watson are still top tier, even after these balances/nerfs people still love them and you can find them in almost every single team.It’s all about a fair and balanced game and applied considering their hit box size/shape; also none of these fixes made players take for example Crypto over Pathfinder now that it take extra leg damage.

Firstable no this is not a 1 vs 1 game, and never will be. You get that? So you are not balancing the game that way. I hope you understand that.And second 5% more damage is 5 hp out of 100 and 10 hp out of 200. Can you even math? This damage is absolutely garbage nothing, when you take into the consideration her small hitbox. And stop the b.c. with this limb shot, cause no one will aim at the limbs, so they make like zero to 1% difference.I will actually won 10 out of 10 fight against Gibby, when using Wraith, because you won`t be able to hit me, because of her hitbox. And even with the worst aim on the planet, you can`t miss Gibby.If you don`t believe me, lets do it on the firing range.

@Capitangecko that would be an unnecessary buff, since he is kinda good rightnow. Not perfect, but good.

@ainsleygreen123 Well, Gibby is a tank character, so he does much better in a straight up 1v1. His downside is that he isn't as mobile and if he gets outplayed, he's fairly vulnerable due to his large hitbox.
