Wraith... why another nerf?
In the upcoming patch notes it says that the phase ability will now take 1.25 seconds to activate including a 20% movement slow. Why? Wraith was in no way overpowered as a legend and this has just go...

It’s really early to judge, her tactical last longer and its cool down decreased 10 seconds. let’s call it a change for now, until we see actual games after a few weeks.
The only tactical that takes longer to activate is crypto’s drone. It’s the initial phase attempt with a 20% movement slow that has me angry at the developers of this game. 1.25 seconds is more than enough time to get shredded by an r99 or a havoc. Wraith will never be the same if they keep her this way. She has received more nerfs than any other legend, and more than any other video game character I have ever seen. I won’t stop playing wraith. And at a certain point if the nerfs keep coming I will leave apex
They put this down as ”because she has a high pick and win rate” we need to come up with another nerf. Well respawn, I’m sorry I’m too good at your game. I thought I would get a reward for playing well but it turns out all you want to do is nerf my legend as I continue to get better and better. I will never stop playing wraith and you will see me continue to pick and win with this legend, no matter how many nerfs come my way. What a terrible job you do. You look at the players who main a legend, who win a ton of games, and you say, ok, let’s nerf their mains so it’s harder for the good players to win. Hats off to you for that devs. Nice incentive for playing well. Nice to know the more I win the more my main gets nerfed.
I agree with your general sentiment. The logic behind the changes doesn't make a great deal of sense to me. As someone pointed out on Reddit, the reason she has such a high win rate, is because a lot of people play her. So using that as a reason to nerf her doesn't make a lot of sense to me.
The 20% movment nerf is utterly too much. Ok fine increase the time it takes to activate but why make it reduce the movment.
- @HarmoNoise The 20% is only when you activate it.
Once it is activated, you move 30% faster, can see people, and it lasts longer.
This was actually an interesting rework, not an actual nerf. They made the activation worse, but everything else better.
I totally agree with you. There have been many times that I play with Wraith and try to run and heal really quick so i use her phase ability to get away. But In the second that she is activating her ability, you can get DESTROYED by any player because you are not fighting back. I literally stopped playing with her whenever I play non-ranked, because her portal isn't as important. Another thing I've seen people complain about is how visible she is when phasing. It is of no use in Olympus when you are trying to phase away to heal, like I said before. All they have to do is follow your trail and shoot right as you come out of it. This is a huge problem in Olympus, where there is a lot more open space. I guess EA wants to stop all the sweaty Wraith try-hards.🙂
