Wraith buff ideas
When she uses phasing the blue trail to have the effect of Mirage's decoys or when she is making a portal - phase to stop the time of the portal (so it will make longer portals)

Makes little sense to buff the legend with highest pick rate both on the professional scene (33%, literally one in every team) and amateur scene (30.54% compared to Pathfinder on 2nd place at 10.33%).
@Babbediboopi She doesn't need a buff I agree but she doesn't need a nerf. The only reason she's a high pick rate is because she looks cool and feels faster in movement by her animations as well as OG wraith players staying dedicated. Her abilities are very balanced right now, the only change I would make is her tactical activation time needs some love. Sometimes it actives right and other times it takes 2x as long to activate for no reason. That's it. Just make it consistent.
I agree that the abnormally high Wraith pick rate for non-professional games is a little bit misleading. Many seem to pick her because their favorite streamer mains her and also because she "feels" good to play, just like you said.
But I definitely think she is a S-tier legend at the highest ELO, i.e. professional matches and probably also at Predator ranked, based on how the game is played where holding position and avoiding risky fights are super important. And because of this META, Wraiths ability to safely transport the entire team to a better position becomes invaluable. I frankly think its mind-boggling when I see people here argue that she is trash and needs a buff (no names mentioned cough cough) when she is the only legend that the professional Apex players always picks for their team. Do these people really think that professional gamers picks a legend for pro matches because she looks cool even though she sucks??? Nah not that likely...
- @Babbediboopi Wraith still is S tier but with all the current bugs ongoing with her she is trash lol
