Wraith tactical improvement and ultimate suggestion.

First off, I understand this comment might get a lot of hate. Please hear me out.

First, wraith is a character that's supposed to be able to get away from tricky situations thanks to her ability to get in a void for a certain time. However, this ability has been nerfed and I believe it has completely changed the character. I don't really care about the cooldown time, it's fine by me. But if you're gonna increase the cooldown, then the most reasonable thing to do is to buff a little bit her ability, not nerf it! You literally gave her two headshots. While on the other hand Gibraltar keeps receiving buffs. Now to my suggestion: the amount of time the ability takes to get into the void should be decreased as many of my fellow wraith "mainers" and I get killed while she is activating her ability. Her character should be able to run away from any fight almost harmlessly and immediately. The time it takes for her to close her fist and go into the void is giving us a hard time. Second, the speed in the void should be increased a little bit. Hear me out. I'm not talking about an excessive speed, but I'm talking about a reasonable increase. Wraith was used to be able to get away from fights quickly and immediately but now it's almost impossible. The character runs almost with the same speed and the time inside the void is not enough to get reasonably away from danger. Do not increase the time in the void, just the speed a little. It is already easy enough since she leaves traces behind so while you're in the void thinking you've ran to safety your enemy is literally effortlessly following you and right behind you without leaving time to even use a health kit. They are literally right behind you and I know this because I do this too when a wraith goes into the void I'm just casually following her while reloading my weapon and waiting for her to come out almost instantly to finish her. Speed should be increased reasonably. 

The other thing involves her ultimate, this is not giving me any trouble but it's just a simple suggestion not like my first point which should be considered. I think it would be nice to be able to close our portals (if we can open them, why not close them as well? She already does this in one of her finishers so it's not like she "can't") Portals are good to get teammates out of fights and get knocked down teammates somewhere safe. But let's be honest. This is really hard to pull off since the other team can just simple use the same portal at the same time and laser whoever is on the other side. With the ability to close our portals we could really take advantage of these portals without having to worry about the team following you. For example, in a situation where one of your allies is knocked down, you could place a portal, take your friend somewhere else and close the portal. This gives you enough time to revive him and get back into the fight. It's also risky since you're leaving your other friend behind to cover for you and this person can't take the portal once it's closed. This would really be useful; and to make it fair, the portal would also leave behind a trace from one end to another so the other team could follow it just like with her tactical. Believe me, this little time is just enough to pop a few batteries and/or revive and turn the tables around in the fight. Just as if you were using Gibraltar's abitlity to quickly use a battery while inside the shield. There is no much difference. 

I would love to hear what y'all think about this!

    What is next suggestion for Wraith ? Her passive to not only warm up you, but also teleport you on safe, when you are on low hp ?

    Wraith tactical is perfectly fine as it is. Just go get good and learn how to use it. And again no ability should give you an insta escape mechanism and safe you from a certain death.


    Portal suggestion is a complete joke as well.

    Why would they buff the best legend ING by far?

    And Gibraltar received a nerf in season 5, so isn`t it time to stop putting it in every discussion when people are crying for buffs/nerfs?

    The other joke of people who is obviously a biased to either Wraith or Pathfinder is they always call for just buff the weak legends, but when they do that, you are start crying all over the place, aka Gibraltar case.

    He was garbage for so long, they buff him, and mainly Wraith/Pathfinder/Lifeline started to cry a rivers.

    Wraith is perfectly fine as it is. She fills her role perfectly and does not need any buffs, or any nerfs whatsover.

    @LordloshBang You probably don't play with Wraith enough or haven't played for that long to notice changes. Nobody is crying, dear friend. And no. Her tactical isn't fine. With her tactical we used to be able to get away but literally her tactical is almost useless now. It probably grants like two seconds of immunity but for what? Maybe he misses those shots but he can quickly reload and he isn't under any risk. After getting out of the void it takes time to get your weapons which is enough time for other people to kill you (as you're already low in health). The main reason why she gets into the void is to not take any damage and run to safety. But this is almost impossible with her speed.
    Additionally, dear friend, I'm not craying about Gibraltar buff, I don't care in fact. They can leave him as he is right now I still can easily kill him. This has nothing to do with one being more overpowered or better than the other. This request is to fix something that needs to be fixed in her character. Her getting away quickly from tricky situations was one of her core characteristics as a legend. Nonetheless, this has been taken completely away. You may disagree, yet I've found many people agreeing with my suggestion about her ultimate. Ultimately, is not something I'm dying for. Yet my other point is something that should be taken in consideration. And of course! Who else is gonna request a change for wraith and/or pathfinder other than the people who play them? You, like many other people, could care less since they don't use them and it's not giving them a hard time. But back in season 4 there were tons of people requesting a change because it finally started to affect them. Since they're not being affected now. They don't care. As long as their mains remain untouched and these other legends can't possibly put a fight against them.

    @LordloshBang Besides, we're not talking about an "instantaneous" escape. If you knew how to read, dear friend, I specifically said I wasn't asking for an excessive speed, but a little and reasonable increase whatsoever.

    The fact that she's overused doesn't mean it's because of her power. Yes, maybe it was before. But after she's been nerfed to death, there are still many people who use her and fell in love with her character. If your theory was correct, then Gibraltar would be the most used legend in the game.

    I don't think the character with the highest pickrate (around 23% good lord), who is almost universally considered far and away the best character in the game, needs any buffs.

    What next? Do crypto and revenant need nerfs or something?

    @Eurlannd again, the fact that she's overused does not rely solely on her "overpowerment" if so, people would fight over Gibby who's the new meta even after the recent nerf.

    I think wraith's kit as is, is pretty high tier

    her passive is great for rounding out your awareness and knowledge of enemy positioning. Her tactical, despite what you and a lot of other wraith mains seem to think, is high tier and allows wraith to avoid Arc Stars, Caustic Gas, Frag Grenades, Thermites, Bangalore Ults, and Gibby Ults in a way nobody else can. That warm up animation is there for a reason. Instant phaseshift was cancerous in titanfall 2. She is the only other character other than octane who can transport downed teammates with her ult.

    And that's just her kit. Not even the real reason most wraith players stick with her, which is her hitbox and animation sets. It's not just that wraith is small, but she exacerbates the issue by bending over like a hunchback in most animations. As is I am confident that even if wraith didnt even have a kit at all people would still play her for her hitbox and animation set alone.

    Wraith is fine.

    Yes it is. Even ImperialHal said it recently on one of his streams. No one at highest level will play a legend, just because she is fun or good looking. Why you use her? Because she is the most OP character in the game, allow you to be aggressive and i can easily push a fight and i can easily get out of it, because of her phase. 😬

    This is Hal words, not mine, but that speaks for itself.
    He also said, because she is like a leader, because of her ability and you can easily scout with her.

    Her portal is one of the best ultimate in the game if you know what you are doing.

    Her phase is one of the best tactical in the game if you know what you are doing.

    You obviously don`t know what you are doing, and i can said that, just by seing what you are typing.

    I main Bangalore, but i played Wraith for a bit. And Wraith is like 10x better compare to Bangalore.

    Her phase allow you for so much things. But you should know what you are doing, aka have brain and actually think while playing. Same with Pathfinder grapple.

    Her phase was nerfed to not be a, aka i`m dead, but i click q and i`m alive and back in action at full hp, this was completely broken. Thats why they change it.

    You can get out of shots with her phase, you can retreat out of battle, heal and come back. You can actually avoid all grenades, enemies ultimate, aka Bangalore and Gibraltar for example with her phase. Only this is extremely OP and usefulness. 

    But in a competitive plays, you can go out and scout for your team, and then get away with the phase. 

    You can portal your whole team to a good place, using the phase, during your portal, without even getting a shot.

    Yeah you can`t rush like a noob enemy team and to press Q and just escape, heal comeback and do the same. It was not the purpose of the skill, same with Pathfinder grapple.

    And thats the reason they nerf it.

    If you think Wraith ultimate or tactical are not good enough, go watch Hal a bit, and you will understand how OP is it.
