So, Wraith is undetectable when cloaked?
If this is so, then why when i'm cloaked and coming up behind people hidden and behind objects they start to run when i'm out of line of sight? I never read I was undetectable until now, I just figured I was hidden but they could still hear heart beat because they all start running b4 hand? Ty guys..

What add ons are you using? There is one that makes it so you still have a heart beat even while cloaked.
Wraith is also still pretty loud while cloaked. They can probably hear your snarls/breathing as you’re approaching.

Or let's not forget the biggest issue for stealth killers....Spine Chill

Normal Wraith has no heartbeat when cloaked. He does snarl REALLY loud and kinda has a Predator style shimmer when he's movin. His footsteps also sound like a bad upstairs neighbor. Someone that's payin attention or usin headphones will definitely know he's nearby. As said above, Spine Chill will always give you away if you can see the survivors at all (even through windows or small cracks in the enviroment).

Have you ever played survivor against a Wraith ?
If not, you might want to hop into a custom with a friend to try it out, so that you can understand better how you are perceived by survivors.
As it is, Survivors don't hear you terror radius, but they do hear your footsteps and the Wraith's snarls and growls.
Every killer that has undetectable in their base kit has some sort of tell for the survivors to hear : Michael Myers breathes super loud, Ghostface's leather strips flap in the wind. I think only Pig has no tell, but that's because she's super slow when crouched.
These tells aren't super loud, obviously, but an aware survivor with their game sound a little loud can hear it.
I used to not know about it when playing survivor, and only when I was told this I started paying attention. =)

Wraith gurgles. Even when you can't see the distorted air that is a cloaked wraith, you can certainly hear him

Wraith is pretty easy to hear coming (breathing) if you don't have any visual or audio clues for 20+ seconds at the start of the match, its highly likely its a stealth killer. Spine chill is probably another big culprit. I run tinkerer Oni and more often than not, the survivors have bolted from the gen I'm charging too as if they knew I was coming.....

The light shimmers around him. You don't have a terror radius but there are several ques people look for

So he makes a snarl sound also when I get close to people? Whats the since in the invisible if he's just going to blow it with a snarl so stupid lol.

It helps to have survivors that only listen for the bing bong or are only focused on skill checks. A lot about playing killer is capitalising on survivor mistakes.

Are people still complaining about Spine Chill even after it was nerfed into the dirt?

Wraith breathing can be heard from several meters away, probably around 4-6 meters, someone paying attention to sounds will hear it and start running.

Survivors with thousands of hours, aka the people I get matched with, do not make mistakes. At least not blatant ones which would enable someone like Wraith to sneak up to them. That alone makes playing someone like Wraith an impossible scenario. It's really awful how extremely outclassed various killers are.
2 -
I... well... I mean, kinda, yeah. That perk was murdered almost as bad as Deathslinger.

Many low tier killers are no fun to play, if you are constantly being matched against too experienced players.
Also the same issue when they complain about only seeing Blight or Nurse.

With the shimmer I can generally see Wraith coming from about 3 to 5 metres away and the snarls generally give me advance warning. It's more of a cloaking thing than actual invisibility.

Tinkerer is easy to recognize. So when you know the killer has it, esp. someone with fast movement speed, the smart move is to trigger it and go hiding somewhere. Either the killer checks and optimally does not find anyone, or they do not come so you can proceed a few moments later. The change of Tinkerer to only proc once per gen really enabled that kind of counterplay.
Now that I'm thinking of that, I guess you should always run Nowhere to hide together with your tinkerer, to counterplay the counterplay ^^

Technically it was nerfed but also signals when a Killer is nearby even when stealth
0 -
Yeah, but unless he is staring right at you, it's just a lit icon.

It literally lights up when a stealth killer is within 36 meters regardless if they're looking at the user.

There's no true stealth killer(except maybe pig?) every killer that has 'stealth' as part of their kit makes some kind of amount of noise for survivors to know they are in the area when they make use of their powers 'stealth' (myers breath, ghostface flaps, wraith snarls, dredge vaccums, sadako has lullaby, demo stomps and screams)
