Kill Switch update: We have temporarily Kill Switched the Forgotten Ruins Map due to an issue that causes players to become stuck in place. The Map will remain out of rotation until this is resolved.

is wraith going to be consider for some changes?

the killer everyone forgot even existed, the wraith

aka the guy you can sprint-burst away out of his uncloaking power
aka the guy you can 4 secound stun while in power
aka the guy thats a stealth killer but you can see 24 meters away, if not that, hear him from 8 meters away from his loud ass growling

and now gets power-creept with each new killer release

kaneki is a much better chase and micro killer then wraith ever will be.
dracula has better mobility and chase better then wraith ever did
even the older killers are way better in chase or mobility like spirit or blight, even after nerfs

why is it that i need more then one uncloaking addon to garantie a hit after uncloaking behind a survivors butt?.
why is he so slow and takes such a long time to uncloak when kaneki has a much less cooldown for a way more oppresive power.

if bubba another killer that relies on one chase power and bamboozle, he got a buff
trapper, arguable the worst killer in the game, he got a buff too
but wraith only gets cosmetics as a constelation price.
even skull-merchant, the killer everyone hated at one point, is getting a rework and a buff.

wraith players have to deal with, exhaustion perks, alturism perks like bodyblocking, pallet saving, flash saving, ect, which most killers can deal with their power.

tunneling is impossible, slugging is possible but a losing strat, he sucks at camping
the micro, possibly the only thing he excells at, other killers do way better like springtrap, dracula, kaneki. even houndmaster has better micro then springtrap. due to her addons and dog, highlighting and giving off status effects while the killer gets a speedbost.

wraith isnt really that good in chase, he isnt going to be able to always bodyblock noir might not be fast enough to get that far.

unless i missed something important in m 1000hrs+ experince with him, im losing with him consistently, even against soloq squads, because i didnt run 4 gen-regression.

    I think Wraith is in pretty good spot, so I would rather not see any changes…

    Fearmonger is pretty good on Wraith vs. Sprint Burst.

    And Kaneki is a pretty poor benchmark to shoot for.

    I kinda want to focus on this bit, because it kinda confuses me.

    Exhaustion perks I get because Killers with strong chase/dash powers, yes, they can deal with exhaustion Perks better than M1 Killers like Wraith.

    But bodyblocking and pallet/flashlight saving don't usually have counters built into Killer Powers. There are some characters like Sadako or Deathslinger that do have it, but it's usually not seen among the top tiers.

    it really depends on the killer, but chances are, compared to knight who can spawn a guard to protect itself and punish the save or even easily spam guard chases
    or kaneki as popular as he is, just jump and injure everyone, if you hear some grunts near you when trying to pick up, keep slugging and pressuring.
    wesker to m2 fake away from the pallet or grab them away for a much better positioning.

    sure, not EVERY killer has that, but they do well enough in chase or anything else they excell at to outpower it most of the time

    it sucks because i have way more fun and enjoyment out of knight, who people can exploit alot more and is going to get nerfed, then i do on a killer with way more experince.
