Wraiths Silent Bell Add-on (Coxcombed Clapper) is too OP.

This add-on is far too overpowered in my opinion, it guarantees Wraith a hit no matter what, I feel like it shouldn't make a sound outside of a certain range or something instead of just no sound whatsoever. It's by far his best add-on.

What do you think?

EDIT: Of course this isn't a good add-on if the Wraith is just waltzing around uncloaking in the middle of the open where you can clear see him doing it, I'm talking about if you're around any cover at all and he uncloaks. It guarantees a hit. You can't really react. You may get lucky that he miss-plays and gets too close to where you can hear his breathing, but that's the only counterplay. All he has to do is go up to a wall, uncloak, and then he is guaranteed a hit.

    Against newer players and mostly for the start of the match the addons are good but after that they become less useful

    Wraith is a mid tier killer and has been out with coxcombed clapper for a long time. If it was a issue it would have showed up long ago. Wraith is sorta like Blight...very strong very varied add ons..unlike Blight he isn't S tier so it's balanced.

    Wraith actually makes weird growly noises when he is near an you can hear his footsteps listen out for those an you'll be ok

    It absolutely is OP. As long as he's behind a wall or something, you can't really see him coming until he's right on top of you, smacking you in the back.

    I'm not talking about him being right beside you. If you're on a gen around any walls at all, you get hit every single time. I know about the noise and that you can see him, I'm not a newbie.

    There is no way to tell that he's uncloaking on the other side of a wall. Yes it's not very good if he's out in the open, but if he has any cover at all you are going to get hit. There's almost no chance that you won't unless they miss the swing somehow.

    Not his best add-on. You can still hear the sound of him uncloak (the burning sound)

    I rarely use it i use Swift Hunt instead

    You can hear the crackling/burning sound of him uncloaking. There are just objectively better addons for Wraith.

    Wraith has always been built around free first hits, Coxcombed Clapper simply helps them more. A Wraith that knows when to uncloak is likely going to get a free injure outside of chases, especially in indoor maps even without Bone Clapper.

    Wraith needs a buff if anything, his uncloak speed boost being dropped from 1.25 to 1 second decreased his skill ceiling in chases and his uncloaking without Swift Hunt add-ons just feels awful. I would just revert that change

    I wouldn't say it's OP but I do find it extremely unenjoyable to play against. I get out of that match ASAP.

    When someone is trying to help you out you might want to work on not being so defensive an rude in the response it's better to respond with something like this "I have trouble doing that" or "i have already tried that but thank you for suggesting or trying to help"
