Wraith Hitbox

I will never understand why a Legend like Wraith has the smallest Hitbox ingame. Whats the Reason about that ? If 2 Legends fight against, one is Bangalore and the other is Wraith and both are equa...

@Bronsn

100% agree. There is no reason for legends to be different sizes at all, let alone for there to be so much variation in size between them. If Caustic and Gibby get a 10% damage buff then why shouldn't Wraith get a 10% damage nerf? If anyone can explain that to me I'd love to hear it.

@reconzero I just want to point out, lifeline has a smaller hit box than wraith.

    Quoting out of some random tweet which was based off the season one standard hitbox jpeg (which I can't link to because technilogically inept):

    "Based on Sookiespy's hitbox images, Legend hitbox areas are:

    Wraith: 33 cm2
    Lifeline: 37 cm2 (+12%)
    Bloodhound: same as Lifeline
    Mirage: 44 cm2 (+33%)
    Bangalore: same as Mirage
    Pathfinder: 63 cm2 (+90%)
    Caustic: 68 cm2 (+105%)
    Gibraltar: 79 cm2 (+140%)"

    No doubt hitboxes have changed over the seasons, but the changes have been small, so I'm assuming these numbers are still relevant if not completely accurate. Leaving aside that both Wraith and Lifeline are arguably too small... why is it that this game needs a legend who is half the size, or less than half the size, of the three biggest? (And incidentally, why do two of three biggest get damage reduction while Pathfinder is left to twist in the wind (as always)?

      @reconzero Unfortunately there are no up to date hitbox statistics, as respawn and or EA has not made it outlive knowledge at any point. From those statistic, either gibby and caustic need a sea of hitbox area, or pathfinder needs fixing. Obviously the latter is the solution, as gibby and caustic are already ginormous.
