Wraith... why another nerf?

dude...... you clearly.... like not going to be toxic. im a d3 wraith let me educate you. 

first thing a good wraith player already knows where his/her enemies are in phase. a bad wraith player has no idea and shouldn't play wraith solely for that reason. portal was a repositioning tool, phase helped with that but was not purposed for that. phase was purposed so that you can do damage to a team then after taking damage phase away and let your team then do damage while you then heal or in certain circumstances come out at whatever health and help kill. those are literally the two purposes of wraith. now with the 20% reduction in movement speed you cant even use wraith's phase while youre portaling or youre going to get lit the heck up.

the extra second in phase, being able to see people in it, and the 30% movement speed are absolutely utterly useless to a good player. a good player will set up their engagement so that they do not need any of those extra buffs whatsoever. theyre purposed to help casual players or rather just nerf wraith worse than pathfinder was by a couple hundred miles. regardless any player with half a brain will shoot wraith the second she comes out of her phase while trying to "reposition". using phase to reposition any other way than a defensive get away tool is what noobs do. and i absolutely love it when they do that because it is a free kill point. 

these changes literally destroyed the legend worse than any nerf i have seen in this game. the only time you will actually now be able to use phase is behind cover to get away which means you cannot play the class as it is supposed to be played anymore. you wont be able to use it to push people nor will you be able to use it while portaling.

basically every wraith main in ranked is going to switch to revenant or quit the game. i know i will be switching to revenant now. 

True, although the reason wasn’t for the “get out of jail free card” it was her portal, the best rotation tool in apex. Reworking the phase won’t do much about the competitive pick rate. 

I will say though, I am excited about the new speed boost and I am excited to be able to see players in the void, as well as I’m excited to just overall get a feel for how to play this character with these new attributes. Im sure I’ll have to change my playstyle a bit but I’ve dealt with many wraith nerfs before so I should be good. 

Correct. But why change the phase activation time if it’s not the biggest call for competitive play? That’s the issue I have with this change. Nerfing the portal distance by 25% is a ton, that should have been enough. 

Why is she getting another nerf you ask?

She still has a 100% pick rate in competitive tournaments (no game has any kind of character have that kind of pick rate for longer than two weeks without significant nerfs and wraith has been this way for over a year).

She has the highest win percentage by a country mile, and even with all the legend buffs/reworks no one is even close to her. You expected her to sty the same? No, of course not, she is going to keep getting nerfs until she is an A tier legend... not a perpetual SS legend that nothing ever seems to change. 

Her tactical also gives her damage immunity, completely countering how many different legends? She is a problematic character,  and if you wonder "but why though???" You are a blind wraith main. 

While this is a more of a rework, the way i see it, its a nerf, and its a undeserving one. She was already nerfed. She was nerfed in a season 5 as well, with a hidden nerf to her portal and phase speed. I still don`t get why people aren`t talking about this one, cause the numbers was nerfed quite a bit.

This rework scream this: its towards less skilled players, and this is BAD. You should reward skill based stuff, not lowering the skill cell of the game.

Seeing people while in phase, an extra second and a 30% movement speed, this is obvious towards which kind of players .....

I see no one complains about the stuff that this thing will change, aka get away from a certain situations, get away from a grenades, get away from a lot of ultimates and sticky situations.

And they even nerf her portal, which is just too much.

Yeah she got a 100% pickrate, high winrate and so on, she was strong, no doubt about that, but she was in a no case OP or broken, she was strong but fair.

As i said million times i`m okay with nerfs and reworking legends that are too bad or too strong, but Wraith was okay and this rework of her phase was totally unneeded. 

But if we look closely to what Respawn actually wanna do is to change the meta and change the must pick choice in a high level of gameplay and in a competitive play.

Right now Competitive is 100% Wraith, 100% Wattson, and the rest get split between Pathfinder/Gibraltar/Caustic.

With the new changes i gonna say that maybe Lifeline will get in there. 

But my question is what about Bangalore/Bloodhound ??? You got to rework them as well, to make them viable. Right now they are not viable at all, unless you play for fun(i`m specifically talking about Pro level).
