To clarify, I mean that people are treating Wraith like how they did to Freddy. I'm not saying he's that strong. And why they're saying that makes a little more sense than it may seem.
People complained about Freddy because his blood puddles seemed like brute-force anti-looping power. Slowing survivors down for looping around a puddle was a bit lacking in nuance. I'm not saying it was that effective, but it was boring as hell, since it just means you drop the pallet a loop earlier. His generator teleportation was a bit annoying since it required little setup, unlike Demogorgon. He seemed cheap, in essence, that his power was just Clown but better and discount demogorgon combined.
People complain about the new Wraith because better invisibility and higher speed while cloaking means that he's able to catch survivors off-guard very quickly. Whereas you can hear the terror radius of other killers, and see them approaching you so you can run the other direction in anticipation, Wraith can get very close to you and catch you out of position, where you can't anticipate his approach and make it to a loop safely. The post uncloaking lunge also can come off as a bit extra. He's already up-close and personal, and giving him that extra lunge is just adding insult to injury, not to mention that he can use it at certain loops, which means you either camp the pallet in anticipation of which side he's going to lunge from or get hit. Plus, even if you do catch him preemptively, his increased movement speed means that he can just follow you cloaked until he's breathing down your neck, uncloak, and then use that post-uncloaking speed boost to screw you over at whatever loop you find.
Slightly besides the point, the reason Wraith got the post-uncloak lunge made basekit is because his clunky invisibility gave survivors too much of a head start. That was before he was given better invisibility and higher speed via the latest buffs. But now, it seems to some like a vestigial organ of a past time that's not congruous with his current features. It was meant to be a band-aid fix then, but now they've gone ahead with corrective surgery and left the band-aid. Why not reduce his uncloaking time, increase his uncloaking movement speed, and reduce the lunge?

I think this would be a good change.

Like you said having the increased movement speed while cloaked along with increased invisibility and increased lunge feels a bit much when playing as and against him

I've found that in general (I'm not referring to any of you here, I'm not specifying anybody at all because I don't remember names), killer mains feel protective of the Wraith because he was allegedly bottom of the barrel terrible before this recent buff, even though they also argue that the buff was hardly anything and that the Wraith is now only "barely B or C tier", etc. It's a bit hyperbolic.
That said, a lot of survivor mains (including myself) have sometimes been hyperbolic about how godlike the Wraith feels now. I've laid out my reasons for why the character is cheap (I mean it speaks for itself really, the character is super fast, almost completely invisible, all but silent, no longer has to use the bell which was the one warning you had to get up and run, and can lunge super fast from cloaking to hit you). It all seems like a bit much. People make similar arguments against the Spirit constantly and there's often little or no argument. But I guess the Wraith was dismissed by a large portion of the community once better killers came along, and not many people want to admit that now that he's been buffed, he's incredibly cheap.
Others can agree with me and that's fine, I'm not changing my mind and I don't aim to change anyone else's. I write this post not to argue, but to encourage you not to. The people who think that Wraith is fine or poor will continue to think so, and that's their prerogative. You and I can think differently, which is our prerogative. There's support on both sides so don't take it personally.

I honestly feel like I can just turn my brain off and go easy mode when I play wraith.

Im not a great killer by any means but wraith is by far the easiest killer to play now with the most potential. His map pressure is rather insane, and his lunge....

I don’t want to say that he’s oppressive as I’ve had quite a few games against him and as him where his weaknesses can become very apparent, but when played in the hit and run style, he feels extremely strong.

Then they should post in the feedback section rather than throwing the game. Iri hear got nerfed when enough people said something.
If someone's playing in a game where strong add-ons and items exist, they shouldn't be surprised when people use those add-ons. The difference is the person using the add-ons is trying to play the game. People giving up when they see those add-ons are trying to play a twisted version of the game that follows their personal rules.

Posting in the feedback section really does not do anything. If you go on the front page you can see a 25 page long thread of hundreds of people all complaining about the same issue with no response from a developer.

Not to mention they completely missed the mark on the Iri Head nerf. People’s problem with that add on was that it ruined personal experiences, nothing is stopping the Huntress from breathing down your neck, one hitting you, then simply reloading.

A lot of people have realized that their complaints about this game will go largely unheard, so instead of going on the forums to complain about it, a majority of people will just give up and move onto the next game.
