Wraith Buff
I've been playing Wraith since I've started playing Apex, and overall, i quite like her character and her skills. and by no means am i a expert player. On paper, her skills seem really useful. Her p...
It's not like i played one round of Wraith, died, and came here to complain that she needs a buff. I do indeed know that i am not a master Wraith player, far from it. I never claimed i was. but my observations are from playing Wraith and watching other enemy wraiths play to get at least a general feel at how she should be played.
My two other friends have also played Wraith, and i have asked around other forums as well to get other opinions besides my own. Avoiding echo chambers. the general consensus I've gathered from other apex players is that she's weak. Not necessarily so weak that she's unusable. But weak enough that when choosing a legend more often than not, it's generally better to choose anyone other than Wraith. Her passive, tactical and ULT just isn't enough for some players to justify playing her over other more valuable legends. And that's a shame, i really like Wraith, and i would really like to see her become more competitive.
They should allow wraith cancel her tactical ability anytime we want to, sometimes waiting it end while in combat / flanking is annoying
I tend to disagree that wraith is weak. It's the character I have the most success with. Just because of the "Oh *!!" button
Other's character abilities are fun, sure, but the "oh *" button is what actually save lifes.
Bangalore has somewhat the same with smoke
But Bangalore can use her smoke twice and has a devastating ultimate ability on top.
To compare directly; Wraith's passive is clunky and half of the time doesn't warn you until you have already been shot. Bangalore's passive works reliably.
Wraith's Q renders enemies invisible to you, but you stay visible to them, while also being unable to do anything except moving for the duration. Bangalore's Q can be used twice and can render your entire team basically invisible, while allowing you to continue shooting, healing, reviving or what have you.
Wraith's ultimate allows her to run quickly for a while and place portals where her run starts and where it ends. She is vulnerable while she runs as she cannot do anything else for the duration, and anyone can use the portals - enemies and allies both. Bangalore's ultimate is an artillery strike without friendly fire, it's very useful in just about any situation.
I think when comparing those two directly, there is just no way to come to the conclusion that these things are balanced.

Imho she's the most overrated legend in the game.
Some of you need stop using logic fallacies.
Just because a handful of top players play Wraith, doesn't make her the most powerful.
Point that at Bangalore and Bloodhound, you genius.

smh
I say that wraith does not need a buff or more nerfs but a slim rework to here abilities would redeem her serius nerfs. And for all you saying "Wraith is OP" Wraith is the most played" let me ask you, did we ask?. Wraith is good but you need skill to play her like other legends she is played the most but I say the reason people say she does not need a buff is becuase people that played here since day 0 they know when to activate her tac at the exact time and they have plans that will work 1000000% of the time but thats pro players and they might have the same issues as us so yes wraith would get the help she needs with these idea buffs. Because it is tiring dying because her tac takes long to activate or the enemies know were I will be becuase when im in the void I leave a clear AF trail and let me tell you I have killed so many wraith as soon as they leave the void because the trail is sooooo visible. In conclusion I think wraith could use a buff due to here defeating qualities like the obvious trails she leaves when in the void and for her ult yes make it were you can close the portal when you please and she is a recon character due to her mobilizing abilities.
And haters hate
I don’t agree she is getting crippled slowly so she needs a big buff and I mean BIG
