Wraith Season 5 Shadow Nerf....

Um... general consensus between wraith players I have talked to with on twitch is that wraiths movement speed while casting her portal ultimate without a weapon out has been horrendously nerfed. She ...

@squirtgunpumper Me and my team were just talking about this yesterday. She seems about 10-15% slower now while in portal

    If they did nerf her without putting it in the notes then that's bad on respawn. But wraith did need a nerf. Shes the highest picked legend and has been since laumch almost so she needs a nerf so people don't play her as much to balance her out.

      @DoomSpartan117This comment make zero sense, I dont even main wraith and know really all she has now is a small hitbox and the ability to move teammates (not easy to take advantage of unless your 3 stacked). You nerf/buff a character based on their ability to always win in a fight due to their tactical/ult. You don't nerf them because of their likability.

      "Hey people like playing this character. She's obviously 1000000x better then the rest nerf her"

        TSM Hal said the same thing when Season 5 went live. He said she feels slower. I do believe she was ninja nerfed. 

        It could also be a bug that needs to be fixed.

        Lifeline cannot move her healing drone for example. Another bug or ninja nerf.

        Yes her portal and phase speed was nerfed and it wasn`t in the patch notes.

        This is her actual speed numbers:

        In season 4, her Portal Speed was 418.60, way more if you slide jump and so on.

        Your tactical alone increase your speed to 327.14, and if its a during your ultimate, your speed becomes - 446,74.

        In Season 5 they actually lower it more, now its less during portal and phase. Its 364 in her portal and 284,47 during phase. If you are using her phase during portal its 388.47.

        Normal holstered speed is 299, so during her portal right now, its around 22% increase. 

        In season 4, her speed increase was 50% more, which was absurd.

        I think that she needs a speed buff to her portal, but season 4 the % was too big. Don`t know if 364 right now is in that sweet spot tho.

        We actually don`t know how Respawn feel for that and what is their view for her portal. They may think that she needs a slight speed boost so she can dodge and weave better during her portal and makes her harder to hit, but not to be used as a self escape mechanism, aka season 4 50% boost and no regular legend to be able to chase you during your portal.


        Have in mind that your speed increase more when you slide jump and so on.

        But yeah this is another hidden nerf to Wraith.
