Why are people saying Wraith is now top tier?

No he won't. Because that's literally his counterplay. That's what survivors do to prevent themselves from going down. Because every Bubba under the sun runs Bamboozle. He just has to hope he wasn't going against a good team and the gens won't be done at the end of it.

Well there are multiple ways getting everyone injured they they are basically insta down using perks like myc or devour they his is a 140 killer with no terroradius and 1 shots

Totally agree, for years people have asked for windstorm to be base and now they've done that which is great, but by adding the ridiculous lunge on top of it they've taken it further than it needed.

This is my honest, objective experience with The Wraith, so I hope to answer the question as best as I can:

I've been playing the game for only two months. In that first month I found the Wraith really solid. Fun to play as, as well as against. His powers were impressive, but there felt like enough balance to keep him in check. Yes, he's invisible and yes, he's super fast, but that bell - which I thought was a really cool bit of character flavor as well as an ingenious bit of balance - made it so that if you heard it, you still had a chance to get away.

I don't know what happened but I now despise the Wraith. I absolutely cannot stand him. He seems just plain ridiculously OP to me. There are two reasons for this: He seems to have lost the cooldown between when he hits his bell to uncloak and can begin moving again, OR the slowldown that he previously experienced when coming out of cloaking was greatly reduced. Additionally, I've played two matches against him where there was no bell. I thought that this was a glitch, but was told that no, he can now play in such a way that he can uncloak silently.

IF both of these things are true, then we had a killer who could be invisible and incredibly fast BUT had to dramatically slow down and loudly announce his presence when he was preparing to strike, to a killer who can be invisible and incredibly fast AND does not considerably slow down nor need to announce his presence when he uncloaks. In the past I felt that I had at least a fifty/fifty chance of getting away from him when I spotted his blur coming or heard his bell. Now, it has gotten to the point that even if I see his blur rushing in and take off out of the room before he's even begun uncloaking, I still get smacked almost immediately. Then there are the times when I didn't hear a bell and just didn't happen to be looking in his direction when he came flying toward me, so I went from moving around and / or trying to get something done to BOOM, now I'm being attacked out of nowhere. There's no counter to that. People say "oh, just make sure you're always against a wall or window. Well, I can't really make the game service me in that way.

Long story short, I thought that Wraith was solid middle to upper tier. Easy to use, but quite possible to still counter or evade. Now, in my experience, he cannot be properly countered or evaded. I hate him. People want to disconnect when they see The Spirit, I want to disconnect when I see the Wraith. I'd honestly rather face the Spirit to be honest. At least in her case there are various tells. I feel like I have a chance. In the Wraith's case it feels like a literal example of - and I have been avoiding this word as long as possible - legitimate imbalance. They tipped things just enough in his favor to make fighting him way too unpredictable, at best, or way too unfair, at worst.

Only the few god pallets on badham are safe against him and once they're gone he can get you around every other loop.

His speed boost can make him get past you and block the windows easily on the chapel.

In the game with the add on to break pallets quickly he can chew through them and then be blocking the next pallet before the survivor can get to it. I've watched Tru3talent play him on stream without the add on and he's dominated good survivors and was able to bodyblock most loops because of his speed and even admitted he got ridiculous hits because of his lunge.

I'm not really sure what I could have done differently here to avoid this hit. I'm on my way to the next floor down before the door even breaks and you have to look SUPER FAST to even see that it's the Wraith coming through. Yet he gets me anyway. How much faster could I have possibly acted? How could I have possibly identified who it was that it was about to come through that door? What tactics could I have employed when an invisible super fast killer suddenly comes into the room other than immediately run before he enters, yet STILL get hit?

If a survivor has to have specific things going in their advantage - such as finding the exact type of tiles at the right time, something they are not in control of - to have a fair chance against new Wraith's cheap shots, then I don't find that to be balanced at all. I normally don't complain about killer imbalance but this right here? This is some bullshit. (Sound removed because it's got some pretty frisky language).

This is my opinions also but as a wraith main. Like holy crap I feel survivors have zero counter play to me. Sure good survivors will gen rush me still, but that's not a counter.

Even if you escape to pallet. The first time. I just leave and come back and next time you won't have a pallet.

It feels wrong for sure. To add to that, killer mains say "his counterplay is dropping pallets or vaulting a window"

No, the Wraith is so fast he can zip around you to block the window or pallet. All a wraith has to do is stand in front of a window and when you get there, start to decloak and there is absolutely nothing you can do. It's a lose lose situation.

Decloaking should be putting the wraith in the game to play, not a free hit with no counterplay.
