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 way beyond the characters animation. At a rough guess the increase in volume is over a third imo.

This yt video shows how far outside the character hits will register, they kindly do a before and after.

Havn't played yet but imo its been overdone. Are the devs trying to again make me play other characters like pathfinder where I pull myself into walls or Gibraltar where I just insta die? Not going to happen. Guess I'll plod on and if unhappy with the results just go full on creeping in ranked as my lovely Wraith.

@hayhor TSM needs to calm down.
Also, they should do it for free, out of boredom and just to make their reputation even sicker.

@Cro_Pittt "You're complaining about Wraith's abilities when she's made for that"

So? If a legend is made to crap in my face and leads to crappy gameplay I'm going to voice that concern.

"Do you think the game will be better if they nerf her more" Yes, at least then there will be better options to choose from other than Wraith

"Don't you see that if Wraith becomes a trash character the game will be a camping simulator because she's the only character that allows fast rotations and a fast push"
Errr Horizon, Pathfinder and Octane always exist as alternatives. And if we're talking about camping, that already exists in ALGS and Platinum+ tier matches and for various other reasons that don't have anything to do with Wraith.

"If you think she's that easy to use, try her and come back here later" Sure let me just go and get my time machi...oh wait they nerfed her. Oh well...

I never get the idea behind nerfing in general... instead of nerfing good ones, they should buff weak legends! As soon as one is doing good, they nerf it and reduce its powers... path, wraith, horizon, caustic, and so forth... just buff others!

What developers hear: now let’s remove tactical abilities completely so she can’t run and get same results as rampart and mirage

First impressions after playing this evening, lamb to slaughter. Not sure what was going on but I was going down easily!
