Wraith nerf

The devs say they will monitor it and see about bringing back her power in other ways later, but this is a huge nerf to this legend. Closer inspection of the changes show the hitbox has been extended...

@OldTreeCreeper Wraith is still smaller than Bangalore. I don't see any problem with a hitbox increase, other legends have a big hitbox too.

@BaldWraithSimp the rationale behind doing so is to increase the % of wins of other legends, both by getting more Wraith mains killed but by getting Wraith mains to shift to another caracter. That's not going to happen, as Wraith main players are not going to shift to another legend.
imo if they increase the size of the hitbox they should have increased the size of the animation too. Seems silly to be hit well outside of the animation.

  I was a path main then he got butchered, so i switched to wraith but i stopped playing her once horizon came out and got the 20 bomb on her after grinding hard jesus it was something. “ Omg you have a 20 bomb and she just came out”
  I would hear from randoms which made me smile.
  
  now shes been nerfed i expect more and more and more knowing respawn , so will i shift towards another legend?
  
  Hell no !! im not falling into respawns ludicrous antics.
  
  I’ll just play apex every now and then and just play more War zone, already lost interest in grinding rank.

@BaldWraithSimp you can’t compare her to legends that don’t take extra damage from low profile. Using wraith abilities is so much harder now because by the time I get her phase off I’m already down because she is so easily hit. So everything that made wraith good has been nerfed and she cannot be played aggressively now she has to be play to run away and only use phase when getting shot by snipers or getting through traps.

@BaldWraithSimp Problem is Wraith abilities got nerf for her small hitbox. Time will tell if she needs a bit tweaks on abilities. But I think her Q should act faster now.
