What makes Wraith so fun to play as and against despite him being weak?
I really enjoy playing against Wraith and as him even more, especially since he got that mms buff.
What's funny is that I got a really good game with him and then a really bad one after lol I got a 3k but hooked my first survivor at 1 gen, sad times. It proves that he still needs work done.
Anyway, what makes him so fun to play despite him being weak?
Is it because of his simplicity, his playstyle, or his ability?

Not too sure myself. In the past, when he was REALLY bad I saw him as an underdog type. Sort of like old Freddy where to play well you really had to try your absolute best, and even then it might not be enough.
Nowdays I think he's a solid mid tier. He isn't amazing but in the hands of a good killer he can do some damage.

What makes him fun is how fast he is when cloaked and how simple he is you turn invisible and that’s it. It’s so much fun to sneak up uncloak hit someone then turn invisible and surround that guy and down him Wraith is very fun because of how quick and sneaky he is

His simplicty is nice and he i a killer that doesnt need much thought. Thought he isnt really weak anymore after his buffs

I love Wraith. He’s the first killer I started getting in to when I was a new player. I love the stealth aspect of his game because he offers a different kind of play style for survivors which is being attentive and more aware of surroundings, and Wraith has cool mind games he can use with his power. He may be not as powerful as most killers, but he’s a well made killer.

I kind of enjoy playing as wraith but quite a lot less versus him. I don't find facing him as interesting when compared to more chase focused killers. But that goes for me with all killers who are mainly M1 based with 115%.

I think it is really by his design. He's a simple killer - power is simple to understand from both sides. From the survivor side he's not overly oppressive and has counterplay - you can see/hear him within a certain distance and gives a warning when he's using his power. From the killer side, he can easily cut distance between himself and survivors on chase initiation and has huge mobility around the map without needing too much practice.

I think he is a little OP when he is using all seeing blood, but he is also underpowered without it. There’s no real happy medium when it comes to him, but regardless as a killer he’s very mid tier. There are a lot of killers that are more annoying to go against.

He's a simple killer.

I enjoy the mobility. I usually play patrolling killers, I spend lots of time jogging around. Playing Wraith or Legion is sometimes fun just because I can zoom around for a change.

i like him cuz he doesnt kill an entire loop by clicking m2. other than that, its pretty lame seeing him uncloak in front of you.

Maybe it's just me, but I find Wraith boring to play as and especially unfun to play against.

Successfully super-lunges is where it's at for me.
Successfully sneaking up on them, uncloaking the first half behind a wall, then showing yourself at the same moment as the Wailing Bell does the first BONG, and then just FLYING off towards your target.
There's nothing like it in the game for me.
I enjoy me a Spirit & Doctor & Oni, but this is just MMM!
And maybe the fact that he was always somewhat weaker than others is what enticed me as well.

For me it's the combination of simplicity and the mobility
You run from place to place, find people, uncloak and chase. Rinse and repeat
I play Wraith when I just want to have a chill game.

Wraith is one of those killers that is only as weak as the killer player controlling him. That's the best way to put it. He's not Nurse, or Spirit, but he can stomp a decently skilled team if done correctly.

You aren't really supposed to chase as Wraith though, if you think you are going to have to go into a normal chase, it is better to just switch off to another survivor and sneak up on them for the initial hit.

He's pretty straightforward, goes fast and can get close to survivors without immediately being obvious about it at times.
As someone that pretty much just wants to chase people as much as possible he's just.. nice. Can often start a chase close to survivors, and can go faster than default while moving around the map as well.

The chases you have should be short if you are able to play correctly, keeping your encounter with each survivor short.

I wouldn't say he is that weak. he is low middle tier id say. But i love his new mobility (with windstorm base). His lunge out of stealth is awesome. He has some awesome addons. No terror radius means you are usually attentive at all times. Wraith is one of my favorite killers atm.

I like zooming through the map, and also might be a hot take but I don't think wraith is as weak as some people say, he has very good pressure and if you play hit and run you'll always be injuring survivors. The add-ons that affect the bell like bone clapper are fun to use because they throw off survivors, and also since I play hit and run and I'm very fast killer save the best for last is great because I'm always gaining stacks
