Wraith is nerfed to DEATH!!!
Either remove Wraith or leave her alone....u have made her near impossible to use compared to almost every other legend...where as im tired of all the buffs to Gibraltor, and returning his gun shield...

@lordalmighty1 I do feel like Low Profile characters are hard to hit. Not necessarily because I can't hit them (I can, although I occasionally miss), but because I'll play them, I'll get shot at, but I won't get hit as much. Sometimes, if I move right, I won't get hit at all when running away.
In your other example, you said Wraith is at a disadvantage when running, and her animation made her an easy target. (That's what you meant, right?) Well, an enemy would have to aim at you first in order to shoot you. Unless you are somehow close enough for them to use hip-fire, but in that case a lot of characters would be boned.
Gibby isn't really an offensive legend. Well, maybe in some cases. If you have a good tank, they'll be good at fighting but lack mobility or something. Which is the case with Gibraltar, as he can tank really well, but he'd have to ads a lot, and he's at a slight disadvantage if you surprise him. He also has a little bit of support tacked onto his dome, which gives him some healer stuff.
He has some support stuff, but he isn't the best at support. Lifeline has more support options than him.
There are also a lot of other characters who can fill more than one role.
Caustic: Can revive in his gas, his gas can be good for offense and defense. He also has Fortified.
Bangalore: Revive in smoke, but also a big offensive legend with the smoke, artillery, and fast movement.
Revenant: can use his ult to do a lot of things, like revive, run away, or just attack enemy.
Wraith: Her portal is good for saving teammates, or escaping, or rushing, or a combination of all three.

@Sir_Named I understand where you are coming from, but lets face it for a moment. wraith portal while good for various movement actions isn't equal to a gibby dome shield. for example you cannot heal inside the portal and anyone can follow using it to finish off or escape from you.
caustics gas makes it hard for your own team to see through and fire at enemies and can be a hinderance as much as a help, they are also easily removed by shooting at the metal base.
bangalore smoke wont stop bullets and makes anyone reviving a team member inside still at risk. rolling thunder imo is not as good as the gibby bombardment its time delay and spacing of shells make it somewhat ok to avoid and although it has a larger area of shell placement it is rather predictable unlike gibby bombs which last abit longer and strike multiple times over the area of effect. (I mainly play bangalore and lifeline btw)
lifeline has good healing and revive but that's about it tbh, the care packages are ok and at times somewhat good but rather random, the healing bot is of course a good tool but gibby dome does everything for him that lifeline can do in terms of revive and heal speeds plus adds lifeline healing speed to team mates.
as for wraith run anim, its to easy imo to score headshots on her from the front because she is so leaned forwards its literally legs or head shots that will hit with hip fire from a medium range add the time taken to activate into the void which is at least half as long to long makes her somewhat easy to kill. headshots do so much damage that even 5% extra does make a difference to her, of course It is situational catching her coming towards you unaware.
I know rebalancing can be a tricky business but imo nerfs of the same character over and over are not the answer I would like to see buffs applied to characters that seem to be lacking in some way over nerfing characters. and I would also be more reluctant over nerfing based on complaints of community because a lot of complaints stem from angry people who lost a lot of games or feel they was cheated somehow when it could just be they are not good and fighting players who are alot better. take for example me for instance I have played around 4000 games since day1 I have been on winning teams about 50 times total I am a terrible shot its very rare I do 200 damage in a game and I have lost count to the amount of times I have been punched to death while trying to shoot an enemy lol... but I don't demand its because the character is op and needs a nerf I don't cry hacks or snap keyboards or punch holes in my monitor over it, however those kinds of reactions are quite common place in online gaming, the devs should take them with a pinch of salt. anyways sorry for the what now must be a wall of text have a good1

The only problem I see with wraith is that her tactical is too easy to spot (this is coming from someone who doesn't play wraith but someone who has fought against multiple wraiths and killed them).
They should honestly reduce the amount of time that there is a trail. For example, for half the duration wraith is in her tactical there's a trail, for the other half there's no trail. That way enemies can know the general direction, but not be able to predict where her tactical ends.
It's too easy to track down a wraith when she activates her tactical, at this point, her tactical is mainly used to escape damage and not the enemy; it just delays the inevitable.
- @Adendon There's a time and a place for every ability, Wraith's tactical is NOT for a 1 v 1 close fight escape.
@S8N_Spawn I understand where you are coming from. In general the game just needs more legends to change the % on the pick rate. There is nothing we can really do about that. And a 5% damage intake increase vs a non or 15% damage reduction will make or break you in a lot of fights people underestimate that. Apply a -5% decrease vs no decrease vs. +15% increase to anything in the game or in life in general you will see a difference. Me personally, I don’t have a hard time hitting low profile characters And a lot of other players don’t. This is also based off skill level and situations in game.You got to remember wraith has already had nerfs on her tactical which made it slower and with a 35 second Cooldown. That is bigger than you know. On top of that you can see her trail, she can’t open doors and she moves the same speed in her tactical. Her tactical also has a delay which has gotten me killed many times due to the animation. And as for the aiming part I think that a lot of players who play wraith and path are good and strafing and dodge bullets. Don’t get me wrong their size does help but I think once again it’s based off skills. If a wraith is just running at me head on she is going to die but if she is moving left to right obviously it’s going to be hard to hit her. But she also takes less bullets to finish her. And there are ways they can make legends skills better to be on par with wraith and path. Once again you play a legend that you are good with. I know octanes,cryptos, Watsons, that can take out wraiths no problem because they know how to play around it. You can read the post I just gave to @Sir_Named @there are ways to buff the other legends to help with the pick rate issues and even the tactical aspect of the game. I appreciate your respond though and I do see where you’re coming from.💯
One last thing when wraith enters her void that means two things. Either she is in a bad position where she can lose a fight or she is near death and needs to retreat to avoid getting finished. There are many ways I can say how there are better ways to improve the game but it’s drawn out enough. On top of it the forum keeps deleting people’s post.
