Re: Please Make New Castle Small!

@Cro_PitttCan't remember if low profile was 10% or 15%. Either one would be fine. Even 5%. Would love too see lobbies that were not more then half wraiths and octanes when everyone rage quits playing wraith because of 5%.

    @chrisragnar It was 5%. And people do not pick Wraith because of her size, the reason is she's fun to use as a movement legend and good for aggressive gameplay. Also the rage quit thing is a general issue of the game, it's not like people playing other legends don't do that lol. 

    You keep mentioning Octane but he has a NORMAL hitbox size, and that's why he never had low profile (which proves even more my previous point).

    @chrisragnar Low profile was 5% and it had very little actual effect on gameplay. The fortified 15% actually makes an impact.

    @chrisragnar Do you seriously believe people pick Wraith because of her size? Really? Then how come Path and Bloodhound are 3rd and 4th in pick rate when they have bigger hitboxes? Wattson is another small legend, then why nobody plays her?

    @Cro_Pittt You guys are actually both right. Before wraiths hitbox size was increased her pick rate was 30%+ overall. This was after her abilities nerf, which didnt change anything. After the hitbox size increase her pick rate is still top 3. This means a lot of people used to pick her due to size. Lots still pick her because her abilities are still strong but she is more balanced now.
  • @hayhor I think people picked her initially because she was op compared to other legends: portal's length was insane and the q&ult combined speed was very high, not to mention the instant q. Yeah of course the hitbox had an impact but i don't think it was the main reason.

    @Cro_Pittt Initially yes but they nerfed the abilities and her pick rate barely felt it. She was I'm the 30% range until they changed her hitbox. Then she plummeted.
