As new legends have been added to the mix in Apex Legends, some of the original characters have lagged behind a bit in terms of power and usefulness. Respawn Entertainment has put some of the original legends under the knife, updating them with reworked abilities and significant buffs. Though, not everyone has gotten this treatment after all this time. Wraith has undergone plenty of buffs and nerfs, but her abilities are largely the same as when the battle royale first launched. However, some players feel that she may need a rework, at least to her Voices from the Void passive, which warns players when they\u2019ve been aimed at or enemies have died nearby. Apex Legends devs won\u2019t update Wraith passive yet The passive, which has sort of been spread across other legends like Ash and Seer with similar abilities, is seen by some players as being slightly \u201coutdated\u201d and they want a change. Responding to one annoyed fan during the recent \u2018Weapons and Legends\u2019 AMA, Respawn\u2019s Devan McGuire said things aren\u2019t likely to change. \u201cJust because a passive has been around for a while, doesn\u2019t mean it doesn\u2019t still have value,\u201d the Apex dev said. \u201cGenerally, we prioritize changes to Legends that have problems to be solved, or have an imbalance in power that allows them to dominate unfairly or prevents them from being competitively viable. At present, we don\u2019t feel that Wraith is victim to these concerns in a way that adjusting her passive would address.\u201d Even though she\u2019s not the undisputed top dog anymore in terms of pick rate, Wraith is still comfortably inside the top three most-used legends, so her competitive viability remains high. She may get looked at later down the line if that pick rate falls further, but for now, you\u2019ll just have to keep rocking the same kit as ever.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Apex Legends devs explain why they won\u2019t change Wraith\u2019s \u201coutdated\u201d passive Respawn\/EARespawn Entertainment have explained why they haven\u2019t got any plans to update Wraith\u2019s tactical despite some Apex Legends fans feeling that it is a bit \u201coutdated\u201d these days.
