Wraith needs a big nerf or a rework

This character is so poorly designed I'm surprised anyone ever agreed to put her in the game.

Smallest hitbox is the game which gives Wraith players a massive advantage against everyone else by default. A passive that tells you when people are aiming at you. The best ability in the game, which is just a cheap get out of jail free card, that allows you to overextend with no reprocussions whatsoever. The second best ult in the game behind Bloodhounds BS wallhacks every 6 seconds with a 4 second duration. 

Honestly the game plays itself for Wraith players, why haven't you nerfed or reworked her? It needs to be done. 

Wraith is the Apex Legends equivalent of Call of Duty's 2 shot across the map smgs. No skill, automatic advantage, in every single squad, and abused by players to get easy kills. 

Everyone that defends Wraith is just a Wraith only player that likes to * themselves off to the idea that they are good. When all they're doing is playing the most braindead, overpowered character in the game. Not a single aspect of Wraith takes skill, even Gibraltar has to be able to play around his shield, and has to actually think where he puts his ult. Wraith takes no thought or skill to be the most overpowered character in the game. 

Wraith is unhealthy for this game, plain and simple. Just nerf her already or redesign her god awful kit. 

Whenever I play Wraith the game is just instantly easier, the difference is insane. It's so unfair  just do something already.

  • @EThought113213 Did... you just compare wraith to gibby? LOL. Wraith DOES indeed take skill, Gibby you can stand there while being hit and don't even have to worry about dodging bullets due to fortified + his arm shield. If gibby vs wraith happened, gibby would always win due to taking more hits, plus limb shots on wraith do the same damage as body shots.

    "which is just a cheap get out of jail free card"

    If you still can't down a weak wraith who still has to wait a second for her tactical to activate, then the problem isn't wraith, it's you.

    Nothing needs to happen to wraith, other legends just need to be buffed to be on a similar playing field. If you're complaining about wraith now, wait till pathfinder gets his grapple buff at the end of this season; you'll see what a real legend is which takes no skill to use; let alone hitting him and getting no regs. 

  • @EThought113213 Wraith and Lifeline is obviously OP. Only these two legend make whole game unbalanced. It looks see difficult even at mid range.

  • I want to know how many people are actually complains about this because as a wraith main I kill wraiths the same as any other legend honestly lifeline and Watson are harder kill and now they are beefing wraith yet again and it’s throwing off my whole vibe and make me want to main a different game 

  • @EThought113213 did you just say she had "the best passive" Her passive is the exact opposite. Its * useless in 90% of your situations.

    For example, a sniper is aiming at you. She says sniper. Oh great. I know there is a sniper around here, but have no clue where. Or she will say "they're aiming at you" also amazing.... for the .06 seconds before tehy begin to gun you down. I have never once been able to say that it is a good ability. Almost every other legend has a better ability than her.

    Bangalore. Speeds up when people are shooting NEAR her. Has almost no cooldown either.

    Bloodhound. Can track enemies and tell if they were near there recently. Amazing in ranked lobbies when you got a premade squad

    Caustic. Can go into other caustic gas making him great at surprise attacking an enemy that is trying to trap them in a building thinking they cant escape.

    Crypto. Drone allows you to see enemies extremely far away and if placed right, can be like a security camera (weakest besides wraith imo)

    Gibraltar. * has 4 passives. He can fast heal inside his bubble, fast revive inside the bubble, has an arm shield that can eat a kraber shot and can be charged with cells, and fortified which allows him to just eat any bullet shot at him. (2nd best passives imo)

    Horizon. Does not have any fall stumble after landing dropship etc so she can easily run away from people if she gets cornered or chased.

    Lifeline. Auto revive with a shield. Dont even have to say anything more. (This passive needs to be reworked or she needs to go back to her previous state where she had fast revive with the shield but had to be there)

    Loba. Can see purple and above loot through walls and can steal 1 item from a closed vault on worlds edge.

    Mirage. Goes invisible when reviving and can see when an enemy shoots his clone and where they were.

    Octane. Has auto healing so after a fight, he doesnt need to heal up as much as every other legend.

    Pathfinder. Gets his ult after checking a survey beacon and his ult cooldown is reduced by 10 seconds per beacon.

    Rampart. If she gets her hands on a fully kitted devo, it is actually stronger than the old care package devo as she has more ammo and a faster reload speed.

    Revenant. Almost silent and is amazing at flanking.

    Wattson. Eh wattson is also pretty weak and needs a buff. Maybe she could pop out her nodes to surprise trap a squad Idk.

    And then there is wraith. Oh you are being aimed at, but Im not gonna say where so you can panik as you wonder where the hell the enemy is before you get beamed because they were right behind you. Run into a caustic trap "oh there are traps there btw" "knock the last person with a gold knockdown shield? "oh they can see you btw". It is so underwhelming that I barely even pay attention to it because 1 of 2 things happen when someone is aiming at you. Either they are * and miss so you get lucky or they are good and are beaming you. Either way, its useless to prevent surprise attacks as it gives no direction to where they are.

  • I strongly disagree half of the abilities are useless now because they nerfed her so much because of people like yu complaining about wraith without really knowing how broken she is imma day 1 wraith main and I cn say its prolly 2x harder for us than anybody else in apex now but I left a complaint so check it out for details about how broken wraith really is.

  • @EThought113213 The legend with the smallest hitbox in the game is actually bangalore according to gamingmerchants hitbox videos, it may sound surprising but mirage isn’t much smaller than caustic

    Anyways wraith will be getting a larger hitbox in season 8 due to her overall win rate, imo her hitbox isn’t the reason why she wins fights its because of her tactical to allow you to get away and heal back up and then clutch the fight

    @Hyuugajay0515 Wraith’s passive is useful whenever I play wraith, but if you are in the sweaty lobbies I get into occasionally with all of the 4k badge, 20 bomb, etc players than ya... its useless but whenever Im in my usual lobbies its helpful
