Simple:Combine her small stature with her anime-tier animation and you have yourself a target that's much more difficult to hit by comparison to any other legend. You could take away Wraiths kit, leave her with low-profile, and she'd still be #1 because of these reasons.I guess at this point it's pretty clear that there's no intention or desire to correct these two issues but I'd really like to see something done that could bring her more in line with the other legends.

@xTomboyRespecter100% correct. She is definitely (by comparison) the absolute most difficult legend to hit consistently. I give Respawn credit for approaching this with low profile but honestly, her hitbox is still her greatest strength.

@xTomboyRespecter I saw the pick rate information of Season6 in Ranked Mode.(In the Local Website. Not the official site but the questionnaire result was very reasonable.)Yes, Wraith is still #1 like as she was in the last season.But BloodHound is very close to her and #2 in this season.I am looking forward to see the big change in the next patch.Now, the pick rate of Loba and Wattson is too low IMO. 😢

@matzesingt bloodhound being as they are doesn't change Wraith.Is it ridiculous that blood can scan so frequently at such a large distance? sure.Does that somehow negate wraiths size? Of course not.They're separate issues.

@1ronKeys Are you out of your mind?Its hands down the best ability in the game, having nearly a consistent wh over the whole duration of his ult is just nastyYes he can be vulnerable for 0.9 seconds everytime he uses it but he gives his mates a free wh... beeing able to prefire people is such a massive advantage,not to mention the pressure you put enemys in cuz they know they are scannedMost cheaters will tell ya that a wallhack gives you the most advantageActivationtime is a drawback but it also needs that drawback... its like saying wraith tactical isnt that great cuz it has activation time. Its still one of the best tacticalsoh btw pretty dumb that you get assists for scanning people lol...

@Koochi-Q Yeah, if you like pasty sun dodgers with cataracts and cacophony of voices in their head. >.>

if you take away wraith's kit she will go away from #1 in a split second.

@Rocko_CCTV maybe, maybe not.

My point is still that wraith is one of the better legends solely due to her size and not necessarily due to her kit.

@xTomboyRespecterI know what your point is , i was just saying that if you remove her kit and replace it with something like mirage (for example swap kits between mirage and wraith) mirage will have a #1 pick rate and wraith will have a mirage pickrate, her size and whatever are helpful ofc but her pickrate is higher because of her kit.

@xTomboyRespecter It's not an easy thing to make the hitbox bigger at a whim. That's like modelling a new character from scratch. One thing they might do is change her animations(that make her harder to hit, admitted by the lead game designer too). However, he didn't confirm if or when they will do it.
And on another note, Lifeline, Wraith and Wattson have the same hitbox rig.(small)

Nothing wrong with Bloodhound's scan. It isn't that great anyway. Only really useful when enemies are camping or in cover.
He can't attack and is completely vulnerable when using it.
It also reveals his position everytime he uses it.
And makes his ultimate useful against camping or hiding players.

@xTomboyRespecter cosmetics for the wraith is selling well, so I don't think they will nerf her in the future)
