Opinion on the Wraith's QoL buff

I just want to know the community's opinion on that because, as nice as it is, I feel it doesn't fix his biggest problem, his almost mandatory need for windstorm.

Do you feel like that should also be addressed at some point in the future, do you think the invis range should be smaller (fully visible at 12 meters or something like that)?

    I think this is a good buff. But yes, Wraith struggles too much with map pressure, and his kit could use a bigger built-in run speed while he is cloaked.

    The change gets a big "eh" from me as I can't really see it making a difference.

    He's okay with addons, hot garbage without them.

    Everyone knows this so the means of fixing him literally could not be any more obvious....yet here we are haha.

    Being honest, I fail to see how it's supposed to do anything.

    Now you can be stealthy on open maps without being spotted a mile away.

    There's no excuse for Wraith not to have his cloak movement speed buffed. People have been suggesting that simple change for a while now.

    Heck I believe he needs a rework to give him something else beyond his one hit ambush then that's it.

    The buff was great, but he still needs speed and maybe something else.

    Its really not as huge an issue as you'd think. I've spent the last two days just sneaking up on people with wraith. No matter how open the map I can get right up on someone before I go bingbong, especially if they are on a gen.

    Stealth is really, really not the wraith's issue.

    Its nice I guess but doesn't really address his biggest problem.

    It's good, but pretty minor, won't really change his stance. But hey, I'll take any wraith buffs I can get so I won't complain

    It's better than nothing so I'll take it.

    However, does it actually fix Wraiths problems or make him any more significantly better? No, it doesn't.


    It's honestly so soft handed. Just give him full invisibility regardless of range, and then bone clapper and windstorm built in. Now he's solid.

    He's currently just way too addon dependent with addons that feel like he should just have in default. They don't improve his kit, they are minimum to just make him function as originally intended.

    Been playing him at Rank 1 here and there with Overcharge being my only Gen perk. The add on to make the bell not tell direction and distance and Windstorm do feel like musts, but they are also very powerful. I hate the no sound one, that one should be trashed as it removes his signature bell. I won every match. He's simple and effective at what he does.

    Not saying he is perfect, but what do you guys want? A machine gun ranged attacked and survivors can't heal when injured by him? If anything, he needs something small. Nothing major.

    We are talking about the same people that refuse to give the trapper 2 traps basekit after almost 5 years ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

    I believe he just needs true invisibility because he can be noticed by his distinct breathing.

    And windstorm basekit

    One of the few actual skill based things about him is positioning yourself for the right engage. True invisibility makes him easy and baby mode Spirit. Windstorm maybe.

    It's a nice consistency buff. Makes it so he's now the only stealth killer that's not destroyed by open areas.

    I don't understand why something can't be a nice buff on its own. We don't need to talk about all the other things they could have done because this was not intended to be a Wraith rework patch. It's for Clown

    If there is actually a reason why the devs decided to not buff his cloaked speed, the only one I can think of is only that it would also maybe affect chases a bit, as following up after windows or stuns in several situations would be buffed as well, which he probably doesn't need. If that is the case, I would suggest buffed movement speed after staying cloaked for 5 seconds or something like that.
