Wraith is Overpowered
Wraith is overpowered.
I never thought I'd see they day the devs call wraith a little OP and say his lunge was too strong.
It's too funny.

In all fairness, he's very strong up until Survivors realize they can vault various objects or use headphones.

When will people realise that OP just means "too strong" and not "unbeatable"? I highly doubt one add-on nerf and a 1/4 second decrease on the duration of his speed boost is going to be that impactful.

Yep, only the devs' opinions matter!

I main Wraith and felt high lunge was a bit over tweaked. That said, yeah he was hardly over powered.

Reducing his lunge 20% means he won't be able to catch up in a lot of loops anymore. Do you seriously think he is too strong?

Only a weewoo bit.

They called wraith OP.
Wraith.
There is absolutely no reason to call him "too strong" under any circumstance aside from versing potatoes. While the aura reading add on was annoying it wasn't op.

Not to mention it's going to encourage more hit & run playstyles, since they're cutting off a bit of his chase power.

Ahaha don't apologise, it was funny.

And hit and run playstlyes are nerfed with the new Healing Circle totem, killer has no time to get value from not commiting to chase anymore if this totem is in play with how fast they can heal.

Well hex the devs have once again shown that they don't have a way with words and make public blunders.
"Pretty good job so far."
"Mori's are toxic"
"Go play civ 6"
Also the public thing on Twitter about colorblind mode.
I think they simply don't think how something can be seen by the public and are just careless with their wording.

He's too strong against most players. He is the most played killer. That must be the most complained about add-on in the forums.
Makes sense too me.

Well I'm sure they didn't say it for no reason. They are devs and so they have statistics to every wraith match and how it goes, he just was preforming too "Overpowering" to them so they wanted to adress that.
But aside from the seriousness, yes funny joke.

We balance for players that run into walls, cant look behind them and dont understand tiles. What are you expecting? Balance? Lol

That wraith that tru3 was playing vs Oracle with 0 kills with an average of 0-3 hook.
"A bit Overpowered" -Devs
Don't worry about it, The people at that play both sides. we just have to laugh a bit.
For reference, My solo-queue games survivor games vs Wraith are similar.

He was very overpowered. I hardly ever saw a game against him that wasn't a 4K. His lunge was too much and it gave him too many free hits. I don't think they nerfed the lunge quite enough but will see.

If they keep this up, he's gonna become a joke once more. He was almost there! Almost at the level where he could compete with a top team! I'm assuming it will only go downhill for him from here.

Holy hell that is super unprofessional.

It doesn’t surprise me they would say he’s OP.

The person who wrote that dev note really messed up I think
If it were me, I would've written something along the lines of:
"The recent buffs to the Wraith have exceeded our expectations, we decided that we may have overtuned him a tiny bit - therefore we're adjusting a problematic addon and reducing his post-uncloak lunge speed to what it was before his last buff. We will continue to monitor him going forward."
there, not that hard was it?
0 -
Right, overtuned him by reducing his uncloaking speed from 2ms to 1.6ms and thus making his biggest weakness - chase - even bigger.
2 -
Don't blame me, I didn't make the change
I'm just saying how I would have worded it if I was Peanits or whoever wrote the dev note
0 -
With their "monitoring how he performs" a bunch of crap. If they were actually watching there would be a variety of changes happening.
0 -
A grave foreshadowing of changes to come.
0 -
They fixed him, made him ok-ish and now they nerfed him. Deluded!

Isn't the point of Wraith to catch people who are not in loops since that is entirely unavoidable for the survivor? Especially since he gets a speed boost after uncloaking...why waste your speed boost in loops at all
0 -
Did you mean
"Isn't the point of Wraith to catch people who are not in loops because he's totally useless in looping since that is entirely unavoidable for the outpositioned survivor who doesn't know how the window looks like? Especially since he gets a nerfed speed boost after uncloaking...why waste your speed boost in loops at all if you can run the whole trial like an idiot from gen to gen giving hits with 0 kills"
1 -
I absolutely hated going against Wraith. He needed these changes. Not surprised to see people defending him, though. I guess people liked playing an easy killer and get free hits constantly.
3 -
People do realise that 'slightly overtuned' still falls under the umbrella of 'overpowered,' right?
0 -
If he's not good at looping then you don't need to loop with that killer... not buff his kit so that he is stronger at what he already does

Typical BHVR.

The devs have obviously gotten out of touch with the reality of things and prefer the survivor echo chambers to listen to.
