Wraith--What If?
So what if Wraith was COMPLETELY invisible BUT he always had a Terror Radius, just like his common add-on that does the same thing but he would be completely invisible.
Now before you start your counter I know that other things would need to be changed so here they are.
1--Wraith's Cloaked form no longer has a speed boost
2--Wraith's Windstorm add-ons will not change, this is so they give him the speed boost he has right now making him not change as much. I think he has a small built in Windstorm as well right now? When he gets out of stealth he has a temp speed boost and that should stay and maybe be increased?
3--If Wraith stands in one spot for too long his invisibility starts to break and looks like a swirly camouflage, in order to stop this he needs to start moving again for about 5 seconds and during those 5 seconds he leaves a kind of trail behind him like reality is just warping wherever he goes. After the 5 seconds he becomes 100% invis again. This is to give Survivors a visual que that Wraith is camping and so that Survivors can see him as well as hear him. It means he will constantly have to walk around in order to maintain 100% unless he brings in Insidious but that perk needs a change as well anyway.
4--You can still hear Wraith's footsteps and now when Wraith starts to come out of Cloak you can immediately see him start to come out. Right now the charge bell starts up and then at halfway he starts hitting the bell, well with this he will hit the bell at the beginning and Survivors will see him appearing. This is to give Survivors some time to get away from him as he gets out of stealth.
I came up with this when Ghostface was in the PTB, it was absurd that you could hear Ghostface in stealth and it made me realize that it's also stupid we can see Wraith, the Devs took the one stealth thing about both these Killers and also made it ineffective. The idea is that if a Killer is invisible then you should hear him, you should still have a lot of auditory cues that someone is nearby. If a Killer cannot be heard then they can be seen like Ghostface and Myers, they have strong stealth but can be spotted. This is how I came up with Wraith being 100% cloaked instead of camo and I know that brings in problems so I knew things would need to be changed.
What do you guys think about this? Is there anything that should be changed that I probably missed? Don't say this is OP but INSTEAD find a way to MAKE IT WORK. If you complain that something doesn't work but don't find a way to fix it then you are adding to the many problems this game has and that the Devs are trying to fix. I do acknowledge that some things cannot be fixed though, if this idea is that then I understand, I just want to find ways to fix silly problems Killers have that they shouldn't be having in the first place. Imagine if everyone said cancer sucks but 0 people tried to find a way to fix it, the mortality rate would be 100% because everyone on earth is stupid.

I’d prefer current Wraith.

@GrootDude Any particular reason why? I was trying to improve him but if you like the OG Wraith then I guess I'm missing something about him that I can't see.

I love him for the same reason I loved Freddy, the hit and run tactic. I love going around with no TR and surprising survivors who are on gens, smacking ‘em and the running to the next gen.

@GrootDude Ah I see, makes sense, my version would take away his actual stealth mechanic. I actually only gave him the TR during Cloak to keep some form of balance, even OG Freddy had his lullaby for awake Survivors. Wraith with his Coxcombed clapper and Ghost add-ons gives him the best stealth but he still needs to hide behind a wall to make it completely perfect so I thought that if he didn't have to hide and just stand there to do it then Survivors might say he was OP. I personally don't think so myself, the bell itself is enough to let people know he's there.

I don’t feel like he’d be OP if he was invisible but I know some downside would be added if he was.

So not only do you want to remove ANY semblance of stealth from wraith. But you also want to keep the channel to uncloak???? I'm not trying to insult you but this idea is really foolish and poorly thought out. I'm just taking a shot in the dark here but I assume you got camped by a wraith so you want to make that impossible. I understand that sentiment but every killer can camp and some do it better than wraith. Oh I almost forgot you also wanted to remove the speed increase while cloaked, amazing idea.

@AntiPlague12898 No, I was not camped by a Wraith recently and the only reason I made those other changes was to address possible imbalance issues. Did you read any of my other replies, at all? Did you see anywhere I said multiple times to instead of complaining, give a counter to say why that particular thing is bad and how to improve it? I don't think so because you missed every important thing I said.
I want to find a way to bring 100% invisibility to the Wraith and make him stronger but at the same time find a correct balance that the Survivors won't complain about. I want to find a way to make it work instead of crying like a little ######### that broke a nail.
If you think having complete invisibility and no TR is not too strong then say that, say that instead of ridiculing me because that's constructive criticism. If it is too strong then say that instead of making the issue aggressive and off topic, negativity on something honest is completely ######### and stupid.
