Is wraith just the WORST early game character?

My third most played character, Laning phase is just miserable unless you have a god tier teammate who can deal a shit ton of damage.

Mind you, I'm speaking purely on early game. Mid and late game wraith is perfectly find and can get kills. But in the early game you're literally dead in the water no matter what

Pit early game wraith against ANYONE and she deals NO damage and dies from a mo farting on her. I feel like she's always been the worst early Laning phase character but after valve nerfed the damage and area of her cards its become hopeless. Her gun is already one of the worst in the game and with shitty cards she's got nothing to do other than take potshots with her cards
