Do you think wraith needs a counter, other then holding w?

Wraiths currently have no counter, holding W barely does any good. They can body block while cloaked, are faster cloaked and receive speed boosts after uncloaking. Do you think this is design is fine or think there should be a better counter for survivors to use.

    Wraith is a normal m1 killer with an increased lunge after uncloak... What does he need additional counters for?

    Wraith is definitely boring but I don't think he's uncounterable.

    Try playing Wraith against a high level team, you would start to question if they have "too many counters" against you lmao

    Wraith is built around countering W. His counterplay is decent windows and pallets.

    Wraith is fine as is. He used to have a "counter" with flashlight burning, but that's gone now.

    I hate Wraith and am terrible at facing him, but I know I'm just an idiot and he has counters.

    Revert wraith back to his basekit windstorm state. Such a fun killer

    Personally, I don't think Wraith should get a speed boost while he's cloaked, I never understood that, like, you're literally invisible, do you also need speed on top of that? The lunge after you uncloak should stay though.

    Wraith used to be a lot slower and was considered really weak when he had 126% ms, people were basically required to run speed on him... If you want to make him one of the worst killers in the game then this is one way. And also he is not fully invisible if he does not use line of sight blockers you can see him fairly easily.

    Wraith is the most bare bones basic Killer.

    I'd argue zero M1 Killers need any extra counterplay than they have now, and some of them could even have some removed as a buff.

    Wraith is fine and there is lot of ways you can counter him. No need to add more.

    Not because I feel he's uncounterable. The Wraith does have weaknesses that can be exploited. I just miss the old lightburn mechanic and would like to see it back.

    They gave him a weakness - Lightburn. And it was annoying. So nope, he doesn't need more counters.

    Wraith is a mid-tier Killer at absolute best, he absolutely does not need something that makes him worse.

    I want light burn back, but not only for wraith.
