Re: Wraith's ability Into the Void

You have to be special to think the Wraith Q needs a buff of any sort. It's incredibly powerful as is. I'd almost dare argue that the Wraith should be SLOWER than currently while in Q.

The whole point of the ability is that you can fall back to cover. If the opponent is capable of chasing you, you deserve to die for being so incredibly out of position that a literal immunity to damage for a few seconds isn't enough to shake them off. There's this thing called a team, or line of sight, usually both. If they chase you, your team can fire at them, meaning you're safe. Against long range ambushers, if you can get to cover during your Q, you're safe (and that's ignoring the fact that Wraith is nigh impossible to hit at long ranges anyway because she has the hitbox of maybe 3 pixels).

Additionally, you can use your Q to become immune to grenades (sticking an Arc Star on a Wraith is the most cancerous nonsense ever; ANYONE else just dies in that scenario), or rush into an area with people hiding while your team pushes from the original position, leaving the opponent with the conundrum of having to face you or your team while being shot by both.

She already gets an insane movement speed boost while setting up her portal. She can even Q during this. Even if her hitbox was Gibraltar levels of terrible game design, her Q would be an incredible tool and potentially too powerful as is.

    Ok I can deal with all you said . It doesn't stop anyone from seeing your trail from across the map.  Even if you think you got cover. Most of my sniper kills are from Wraiths . Because once you pop out of the void there is a window you are incapacitated.  Where it doesn't tell you you are being aimed at.  What do you do when you are last in the squad and need to get your mates? You are going to die using the void will get you killed .

    "And I forgot what happens in solo mode? YOU ARE SCREWED"

    And having no trail in solo mode would make it even more OP.

    It's bad enough that she has the smallest hit box and doesn't have very loud foot steps.

  • The hit box needs to be fixed.  I am saying cut the trial to first 10 and last 10 ft or so. Also make the trail that can't be seen from across the map.  

  • Yeah lets not buff the 90% pick rate character due to bad hitboxes

    I have watched now to many videos with people who tracked down and easily kill her lol. Once we get solo mode you will see all the main Wraiths complain
  • Just a thought, but perhaps a happy medium for this would be to remove the trail and instead add a loud noise almost like 'lightning' (you know, the whole tearing a rift in space noise) to the ability when she enters and leaves the ability. It means you can still track her based on the 'leaving' noise but would make it less easy to simply follow her right behind the trail.
