Wraith definitely being turned a blind eye here. Season after season her pick rate is the highest, all the selfish solo players, who don't choose the "no fill" option, play her. Octane was nerfed until most people lost interest in him. Not sure why Wraith is being treated differently here.
It's so subjective. Your opinion is that she's balanced (maybe that you main her), but the pick rates are the real indicator of such things and it has been to wraith's favor for all the past seasons. I'd say I haven't felt that many of the past nerfs been necessary as well, but it's what developers do. People start picking one legend all the time and the developers nerf them until they become avarage or below that. Somehow Wraith's been an exception.
Wraith currently does not need a nerf, she has been adjusted to a very balanced legend except for here passive which I believe could be improved on.
Wraith is not just picked for nostalgia reasons or because she looks cool.
Wraith is a Legend new players can start out with as here abilities are pretty straight forward and easy to use.
So with that in mind on could say that her abilities have a low learning curve and low-mid reward.
Truth be told the more one plays with Wraith the more one learns that her abilities are not as straightforward as one expected and that the learning process has per see different levels to it.
It could be said that her abilities have a high learning curve with high reward.
As with most legend abilities hers are situational. on can use then straightforward to get speed boosts and reposition etc.
Kidnapping other legends is a high risk high reward skill that has to be learned.
Setting portal traps for people to fall to their deaths on Olympus is hilarious to do but is also not always that easy to perform and you have to get someone to "fall" for it.
Heat shields and linking her abilities when the final ring is closing can earn you a win no shots fired but timing is essential.
we could get into how one could combo her abilities with other legends but then this would turn into a dissertation.
There are lots of other legends that have stronger ability sets or are must have for ranked or pro play. The main things about Wraith that we all should know is, she is easy to learn for beginners, for veterans she has a lot of cool shenanigan's she can pull off that are just genius plays and here abilities are compatible to most team comps and play styles. Wraith is a great allrounder.
I hope that the two of you are a bit chiller in this Wraith thread as the last one got locked before I could reply.
Have a great weekend to the both of you.
i rarely play wraith, and im telling you, this idea is bad. the already nerfed her Q time activation. she can't take any more nerfs.
I think she should get nerfed even more. She is really hard to play against!
Her micro-hitbox makes her hard to hit and when you finally hit her, she will just teleport away.
I think her "low profile" nerf made tons of sense and I also think her tactical should interrupt if she is being shot, same like with many other characters!
Wraith Hitbox need a nerf !
She is the only Legend i lose the most time in a 1v1 cause i cant hit her...
I dont know why the dev´s ignore this Legend so long, perhaps cause there are so many Wraith outside that they are scared about...
everyone who said she is balanced is not familiar with this game!
Her Abilities are good but her Hitbox is a Disaster...
I love killing wraiths. They are the only Legend I insta-thirst. Lol.
Sorry for being toxic.
