Season 8 Wraith Nerf

Yea soo i hear wraith is being nerfed again to a larger hitbox. How many times yall gonna touch my legend? Why has wraith been getting hit season by season in fact more nerfs then every single legend combined. Stop catering to players who cant counter her. 

Ever think people in the mass just play her because she is just fun? Would we not play any legend because we find it fun? 

Stop listening to noobs who refuse to get better and cry for nerfs. 

That is all have nice night. =P

    Most people that play wraith did a hard work on the kills badges etc... Most of them are really good. If you ask them if they can transfer stats on other legend most of them would not play her anymore.

    Maybe it was nothing on this merf but in these scenarios it isnt. I just dont get it. You get an ability to escape tense situations and small hitbox at the begining,both are strong,true,strong against people that cant aim and anoying for players you get away from. But rhen get the cooldown bigger. Dont make the activation 2.5sec and low profile plus bigger hitbox,plus bigger cooldown ,practicaly makes her ability useless in a fight,like wtf. Lets make her melt in 0.5second so she doesnt have time to activate it. Its like putting gibby arm shield to activate after 3seconds of aiming....  Doesnt make sense... 

    When youre on top of the stairs and some1 pushes from the bottom,he shots your legs like its a chest,or opposite way around. Also 1v1 wraith vs gibby is always won by gibby if he has atleast some aim. Good players could hit wraith before and can now. The problem is,i am under cover ane i get killed by a headshot because my head doesnt peek but the hitbox is above it,that is a problem. If i cant see the enemy and my head is not peeking i should not have been hit,head glutch now with wraith is broken,ther head is like revenants,a zeppelin on a shoulders.... Also changing her runing animation so she can be hit easier,why did they do that,its a small change and ao stupid. Good players hit wraith from season 1...

    Only ones who wanted a nerf are the ones who dont even strafe left and right when shooting. 

    This game is souch loot dependant,sometimes a worst player can kill you because he has a purple shield and a mastiff and u got no shield and a p2020. 

    On console aim.assist does wonders everyone can aim,everyone. Ive been beamed by r99s in gold lobbies....

    Theyre slowly removing the things skilled players used to kill less skilled ones. I wont mention sbmm that wants you to have 5%winrate and 50%duel...  So if ure not in a 3stack that si better than most players you cant solo much above that %. Have you noticed that the 1st game of the day is always the easiest even if you dont warm up...  Then you get lvl20 teammates against pred stacks...  Because good players wont stop playing the game after 4 bad games untill they win some and gave good games. Their algorithm(sbmm) is basicaly made so we play more,not to be fair...  

    But abput wraith,I got 3 mains,i loved wraith because she was way fun,i loved also pathfinder before... 

    Wraith abilities right now:

    Passive:. Tells you if there are traps or some1 aiming at you.  Traps are useful, letting you know some1 is aiming at you is useful also,most usefull against a kraber(well,before when you could quee immediately and get away,now you get shot and get down before you can react),ok it lets you know there are other squads around you(crypto drone can ping banners and you can know before others). Her passive is useless when you enter a camping building because you get melted right away. 

    Into the void: Made for repositioning only if you got yourself into a bad position or is getting flanked,but you need cover for that delay,you get a movespeed so you can get away,vision is also good now because ypu can check the surroundings without taking dmg in some situations,using with the portal to make a portal across contested area into the safe one,using vision to kidnapp people..  It is bad if you jump into 2 or more people camping inside the building preaiming doors(last 2 seasons happens a lot,maybe warzone transfer players or I dont know) eitherway makes wraith play much slower and careful. 

    Portal: best ability in the game if you have a team or playing ranked. 

     The way wraith would be perfect: remove low profile!!  If you upped her hitbox it doesnt make sense that some1 shoots you in the legs and does chest dmg. Reduce her into the void time to 1second but remove the movespeed when into the void. Abd thats all from me.  

    I play wraith the most but I dont have a main,i play what is neded in ranked composition and pubs what i feel like playing. Also expect nerfs to octane soon,all wraith movement players switched to octane and are doing crazy stuff. He is even so viable in top ranked plays now.

  • @E9ine_ACI think your “argument” on people being bad at aiming is ridiculous - I’m top15 on 3daimtrainer tracking and clicking and can tell you for a fact that a smaller hitbox is imbalance. I shouldn’t even have to tell you that, the word smaller itself implies imbalance. Almost every aim trainer has a difficulty based on the width of the target, a.k.a hitbox size. You are less likely to be hit by bullet spread if hit on the edge of your hitbox, too.
    Also, I’m not sure why do you keep refering to your personal opinion as “we” - you are just a single person, you can only speak for yourself... Your thread title is “Season 8 Wraith nerf” but you are trying to act as if you are just unhappy with nerfs happening too often regardless of their content.
    I think you need to stop lying to yourself and just face the truth that wraith was broken in terms of balance and devs finally introduced a much needed nerf. Although hitboxes should have never been different among legends.
    I have a spidey sense that you’re the wraith mastiff runner and there will be a thread coming from you on mastiff’s nerf.
    People often confuse imbalance of a legend with them being good at something and when that imbalance vanishes they get sad because they lose the unfair advantage.
    Oh, and your “wraiths have to keep adapting” is even more ridiculous, wraiths had to only adapt once when the “Press panic button to escape a fight” button was changed other than that wraith’s abilities didn’t change. Even that change just added a delay on the ability not even changing it. Take an advice from your own book and simply don’t be a casual, get better 🙂

  • @E9ine_AC thats the issue with wraith and always will be, is the hitbox, its so tiny and slim it requires absolute precision to hit
