Wraith should take twice as much damage as Gibraltar
The reason is simple, her silhouette is half the size of Gib while standing still. When she’s running, it’s even more smaller.

- @DeathRaven_1983 You can’t look at hit box surface area in a vacuum. Gibraltar’s gun shield makes him incredibly tanky, you just blew off jmpippins points (which were understated actually) with a “nu-uh doesn’t count”. A Gibraltar will absorb about 80 percent more damage than a Wraith without a gun shield recycle, the main variables will be headshots and lost overkill damage that doesn’t carry over on the final shield bullet. If you factor in a gunshield cycle and combat focused abilities Gibraltar pulls well ahead of Wraith in a combat situation. Wraith is viable because of her ability to Q through fire to place a portal. That is pretty much it.
Twice the damage would never happen, Respawn would never do it and players would never shut up about it. She definitely does need fo take more damage, she takes 5% more damage, just like Lifeline and Bangalore for example, but she has a smaller hitbox than both of them. I'd say 10% would be realistic, just because she has an innate advantage just because of her hitbox compared to every other character.
No thank you. But by all means fiddle with Gibraltar.
- @Ionzur It's the new argument for anyone complaining about her hitbox, coming from someone who considers themselves a "bottom of the frying pan" type player who only exists to give premades a extra digit to their kill count but has very little issue tracking her despite playing on a default PS4 controller and being visually impaired.
Let me give you a real example: https://youtu.be/_-ISZQa17Ys
If it hadn’t been for her tiny hitbox, I would have won the game.
Edit: This as well might be a net code issue. If you look carefully, the Red kill marker appeared before I died.
- @DeathRaven_1983 How about you just get an “instant win” button as an option and we will call it even. Wraith has been nerfed more than enough times. Any good player will aim for the head anyway, and the size of the head is roughly the same for all legends.
- @DeathRaven_1983 I don’t see an issue really, you ADS and became easy to hit. Had that been a Gibralter you still would have died and he would have had more health left by far.
- @EThought113213 Bangalore isn't a low profile character.
- @DeathRaven_1983 A 75 HP arm shield that recharges isn't just a benefit it is a game changer. Me with any character vs me as Gibraltar loses every 1v1. I think they need to work on improving other Legends and stop nerfing the same Legends over and over just because it has a high pick rate.
- @DeathRaven_1983 In the video it looks like you tried to stand in trade while ADSing, The wraith was moving and actually crouched strafed causing you to miss some of the shots. You were both 100HP and 75 Shields. It looks like you hit her for 144 damage. Maybe move a little more when fighting, it was close but it wasn't about her hitbox it was her movement that won that one.
