Love the man to death, though in Masters it seems like I go up against nothing but Ashe/Soldier/Widow. I understand that he isn’t as aim intensive as those characters but every game feels like an uphill battle to close the distance. I also understand that every character will have hard matchups. How, in your opinion, can he be changed without be being too oppressive in other ranks? Or should he not be changed at all? Generally curious what people think about this subject.
P.S. This post is not to shit on the characters mentioned above. I play them as well.
From MY experience in masters: • Large hit box makes him extremely vulnerable to long range hitscans. Also has no way to contest them from afar (understandable, shotgun CQ character.) • TP is loud and makes him very vulnerable coming out of it (though you shouldn’t be doing this out in the open. This is only if someone hears you coming out of it or gets a read on you.) • Death Blossom MUST catch the enemy off guard, especially if used on multiple people (like 3 +) or you will get focused down quick. Anyone anywhere outside of its range is going to kill him if he’s in their los. • Surprise ults are hard because more people start tracking ults in higher elo, so they’re more aware. • I wouldn’t say it’s harder to wraith out of sticky situations. You should know when to get in and out and not wait until you’re on the absolute brink of death to use it. It’s his best ability and a fantastic one. Also, just peaking your healers in wraith is usually enough.
