Why does Wraith have the worst gun in the game? She used to also have her cards but they just tickle now. so you would think wraiths gun would be one of the strongest you know since shes supposed to be "a high-damage, mobile hero known for her single-target burst damage and ability to quickly eliminate opponents" None of which is true anymore, and so many other heros can out damage and sustain wraith. even if youre 15k souls ahead with wraith it feels like youre dead even or even still lacking behind.
The only hero that does less damage than wraith would be grey talon. But he can scale his arrow to do so much more damage.
Itd be fine if her cards could actually deal decent damage, but they simply dont.
My favorite hero has been butchered to the point where she is literally the weakest character in the game and if you build gun items on literally any other hero, they can and will do more than wraith does. unlike other heros, wraith is one of them that doesnt have a spirit play option, You dont get her cards without shooting. Maybe haze is the other exception because she literally only has a gun.
Other heros have the luxery of building either spirit or gun. you can build a gun yamato and still have your movement etc, or you can build spirit and do 900 gun damage all game. Yet Gun is still the issue? even when you can spirit burst people for 1500+ hp in 1 hit. I think people are just playing wrong or are too hyper focused on how they died by a hero 1 time in 1 match.
Not to mention that there are countless items to counter gun builds. And how exactly are gun heros supposed to counter juggernaut and suppressor and thinks like that? Get more fire rate? Sure there are items that give "spirit resist" but theres nothing that makes your cool downs longer kind of like how fire rate items work. they literally nerf the % of the damage output the hero can output on top of having bull resist items. Meanwhile, there are only spirit resist items, that arent nearly effective as bullet resist and fire rate slowing items. Due to the fact that spirit scales way to high and does way too much damage 30% on 1500 is still 1050 damage in a single hit. Nearly half of most heros hp.
Than with gun heros if you truly want to have spirit shielding you have to buy weird items and some items dont upgrade so than youre eventually selling your spirit resist items for damage items late game. when you need spirit resist the most.
It is un healthy for the community to think that gun heros are the issue when literally you could build any hero to play gun yet the vast majority chooses not to because they think shooting isnt fun or is a lesser skill or some crazy take.
I dont want to see gun heros nerfed to the ground and have a spirit heavy meta. That would require no skill and people would just be playing the game one easy mode. Its easy to spam a huge AOE that explodes and does damage + effects in less than a second. aka lady giest and sinclair. its easy to spam targeting abilities that do insane damage. or people like mo that can disarm you from 10 miles away with the same duration as fully upgraded wraith ult.
Its easy to press 4 and insta kill someone and get your ult refreshed while also having infinite healing as a passive.
You know what isnt easy? Hitting moving fast moving targets in stressful situations Wheres theres a million stuns silences and disarms, makeshift walls etc. Aiming takes the most skill in this game, yet for some reason its looked down upon. I dont get it.
And im worried that this next balance patch is going to have a bunch of dead gun heros while they dont address spirit heros taking half your health in a single shot.
