Why I laugh at the devs for nerfing Wraith

Statistics show Wraith is the top legend. She is the most dominant. She gets more kills, wins and knocks. Right?

But isn’t Wraith just a video game character, incapable of doing anything without a player in control of her decision making, her playstyle, and her abilities in game? 

Wraith simply doesn’t just run around as an AI bot that destroys all players in her path... no she dominates because we, Wraith mains as players, in a multiplayer game, are of the highest skill level in apex. 

We should be proud of ourselves. Constantly being told that we as players are so good that others make up excuses and say that the character we use is overpowered, because they’re unable to deal with their own losses and lack of success. 

And every time I see a nerf for Wraith I chuckle. Because the devs formula for how they balance legends is to nerf the characters that the better players choose, because we win.

Respawn punishes success in apex, they punish dominant players by nerfing their mains not because the character needs it, but because they can’t handle that we are better players than the majority. 

If pathfinder players were at the top, he’d constantly be nerfed as well. Lifeline, bangalore, caustic... every legend, if any other legend acquired the best players in apex and those players began to dominate and win like we as wraiths do, they’d be nerfed to the ground as well. 

And I’ll leave with this Respawn. No matter what you do, no matter how the player base changes. I will continue to dominate with Wraith and I’m sure many of us will.

  • @Zamaha400 Wraith is not an AI bot that can run around by herself. Apex is a multiplayer game. Meaning more people win, get knocks, and do well while playing with the legend.
  • @s0apt0ken When did I complain? Did you even read the post? Point out one complaint. I said I was laughing at the nerfs, not that I'm upset in any way.
  • @ShmexxyyyThen Caustic mains who played before S4-S5 are even better. We played him since before he was considered strong, in fact he was memed for being weak. It wasn't until the tournaments when they started listening and realised that Caustic needed a nerf. And unlike many but not all Path/Wraith mains (who want and need their main to be OP to achieve anything)  i did not disagree with him needing a good nerf, i said to nerf his camping, which was the most complained about in fact. We were considered from weak to OP even though Caustic never got a good buff, and the gas not affecting teammates movement speed was a QoL at best since all other disabling effects apply. 

  • @Shmexxyyy Sorry but the way you're typing comes off as angry and puts out fake arrogance. That's just how I feel reading your post and comments.
  • @Shmexxyyy Wraith has the best stats because she is the best. Look at ranked every team at high levels has a wraith on it, this isn't because they like playing wraith, its because wraith is op. Devs are trying to make this game as balanced as possible please stop whining about it.
