STOP NERFING WRAITH
3 times, more than any other legend in the past 2 seasons of apex, wraith has been nerfed. This needs to change. By no means is she overpowered and she was by no means overpowered before the nerfs. I...

I haven't been playing Apex Legends long enough to really experience the buffs and nerfs. But by all means, out of all the characters I was able to play, Wraith was by far the most useless one. And so far every wraith in my team has mostly been useless as well.
I mean, her tactical... what is that? No, seriously, what even is that? Practically the "delay death by a few seconds" button because I leave the thickest trail of dust behind me that basically screams "hey, follow me and you'll find a vastly damaged Wraith for your kill counter" - And thanks to me being just as fast as anyone else in this state, what's the point in even using it anyway? At least legends like pathfinder have the potential to properly get out of fights thanks to speed and ability of positioning. I can easily get on top of rooftops or behind obstacles quickly and be safe for a very long while Wraith? Yeah, mostly just "run into a building and try to find the quickest way outside of your enemy's view. Which rarely works out.
Her ultimate is a bit better and serves a little more purpose. By all means, it's a nice way to quickly get out of ranged combat, heal up, get back into it again. But all other factors considered, it's neither a good traveling ability because the distance you could walk as a group is equally as fast. Plus, your team mates will be sitting ducks for a while.
Her tactical is useful. Being able to know when someone is aiming at you before any shots are fired is a useful trait to get out of combat before it even started.
Overall, Tactical is useless in my opinion, ultimate semi-useful, passive very useful.
- @Peri_Longbow_plz Wraith is very useful.
The tactical can buy you precious time if you nee to reposition under heavy fire.
The ultimate is good as a team repositioning tool. It's actually a little better than just your entire group running, as Wraith moves much faster when deploying it.
The passive can be useful, but can also be useless, as it'll sometimes tell you that there is a sniper after you get shot at, or a trap when you can see them. - @Peri_Longbow_plz She gets a speed boost when using her tactical. Slide jump as well to further increase speed. Her tactical isn't for completely escaping squads, it's for retreating back to cover, safety of your teammates, or for noping out of a 1v1 and letting your teammates finish off the enemy instead of going down. It also lets you travel safely through traps, avoid circle damage, avoid bangalore/Gibby ult, avoid crypto ult, avoid grenades, and can be combined with her ult to drop a portal while in the void to rotate your team. It's pretty good.
- @SpaceHamster1991 Just wanted to say that her tactical only makes her 4% faster, or possibly not at all. It's very slight.
- @Sir_Named I looked it up, it doesn't have a speed boost. Huh myth busted on that one...still a good tactical.
You can't really "nope out of a 1v1". Her tactical takes almost a second to activate, and you are stuck in an animation.. same when you come out of the void. If you try to nope out they will either kill you mid animation or when you come out of the void, because you can't defend yourself after. If I ever 1v1 a wraith and she uses her tactical just to try to run away, she is dead 8 times out of 10. It's really her ultimate that makes her good, and that's it. It's the "safest" way to get from point A to B. Because if you goof up, and run into another team, you can take your portal back, and just watch the portal.
Hopefully the Apex devs look at some of these complaints, because sometimes I feel they act like nothing happened and it’s fine for them. Wraiths tac delay is annoying as hell and you can die in the void which is crazy.The tac delay and speed kills wraith a lot. Not to mention like some people said not being able to go through doors.They better address this in the next update or when season 5 comes out. They’re killing the game for a lot of different legends not just wraith. Wraith was fine before the last portal nerf but now it sucks. They turn a blind eye toward wraith a lot it seems.There are multiple threads on complaints on wraith nerfs hopefully they get the picture.Thank you Apex devs (and what I mean is by it sucks is that you can’t save your teammates anymore when in storm. It just seems like her mobility is getting hit hard.)
