WRAITH SHOULD BE NERFED

The pick rate of Wraith speaks for itslef.
According to this article pick rate of Wraith is ~26% https://www.ggrecon.com/articles/apex-legends-characters-pick-rates-season-5

Lets figure out why it is so.
Wraith has the smallest hit box in the game. Even 5% low profile debuff can't compensate her smallness. Here you can see good research about legends hit boxes and their comparison(small spoiler: all legends are far behind Wraith) - https://youtu.be/EG2wN4RQX4w

Wraith has best escape ability in the game and they buffed it recently. Why i said buffed? Because they increased activation delay from 0.4 to 1.25(as i remember) = 0.85 sec and decreased move speed during activation by 30% and reduced portal max length. But added so many powerful stuff. They have increased duration by 1 sec, they have reduced cooldown by 10 sec, they have increased move speed by 30% during phase, they have added ability to see others players while in the void.

Comparing to other legends, Wraith is too strong, she has unfair advantages in every aspect of game. Players understand that, players abuse that. Hence, pick rate = 26%

There shouldn't be that much distribution in pick rate between legends. This statistics says that Wraith is obviously superior to the rest.

    @BaldWraithSimpRemoving her naruto run would have been far better than the tweak she just got. She feels like a different Legend now. Same with the Mirage's rework. Yeah I hate that too. They should have just buff him.

  • I will say her abilities seem REALLY slow now.

    I still like her...I'll use her like on a 3rd pick if I don't get my favs.

  • The more important question should be “ What is respawns ideal game direction??” 

    Come on now they dont want to introduce solos because “ Solos is bad for the game and only want it to be team oriented”

    Butttt consistently nerfs legends who have great team aspects.

    Respawn are clueless and just contradicts themselves

    The contradictions are especialy in the rewards you get.

    20 kill badge.

    4K damage badge.

    You farm kills and damage for you trackers.

    Assists should count as kills IMO if you want this to be a team game. ( Even after he's downed )

    Sometimes even finishing someone off is a great thing to do in a lot of situations.

    20 bomb and 4K damage badges are VERRY hard to get with a decent team.

    Because they basicaly steal your damage and kills.

    If they would make the most wanted badges and rewards in the game things you can only achieve as a team.

    That would benefit everybody in the game.

    Like 30 kill as team badge.

    8K damage as team badge.

    These badges gained over a few tiers.

    I don't know! ANYTHING you can achive as team would be nice i guess if you design a game for teamplay i would expect the rewards to justify that.

    The current system encouraged bald wraiths to drop solo farm kills and damage and leave as soon as they die.

    ( No predator rank is not the most wanted thing in the game for a lot of players. )

    Not everybody likes to camp  Oh OOH sorry   position himself tatical all the time.

  • I’m never doing 20 bomb. To me that could be the dumbest of all the badges, making you play more like a yolo idiot than any other badge.
