It’s fun. He’s in every game. You have to base your entire comp around stopping him (if he’s good) but even if he’s bad, he’s still gonna carry most games.
I do love playing Reaper vs Reaper all night. Yes sir–ree.
If only we also had a tank with lots of armor that could block projectiles to help? Oh wait, you nerfed that one You kids you, with ya tricks.
Because he just got a buff and people don’t realize that it’s not a big deal. His pick rate will go back to what it was before. We went through the exact same thing when he got his buff to 30%.
As an experiment I just went Mercy and my dps main friend was Reaper. We just stayed those 2 regardless of whatever our team needed (usually we don’t) and we carried the game. Dmg boosting him and him lifestealing. Unless he’s Ana naded he’s near unstoppable. You need to headshot him to kill him or he can wraith away or be healed.
I’m curious, have you actually played against him yet? It doesn’t help him where he actually needed it, but legit, this is on a whole other level than the last buff was.
Interesting. In my master games i saw him in 2 games. In both games he got destroyed by widow, stuns and hanzo. He is only good if the enemy team completly ignore him and if they have no coordination. In quick play he is good though.
I’m mid plat/diamond on other acct and he was a pain at those levels. It’s all very well saying “Go this character” but unless people are ready to all focus him he’s going to get the best of people.
I can understand that there are not many really good widows or hanzos in those ranks but you can still go brigitte or meccree. In the moment his is stunned he should be dead unless you 1 vs 1 him what you should not.
Goats was never about damage. Between all the shields aoe healing and everything else that was a part of it. It just became the natural defence vs dive. Instead of making a counter to dive they made a whole worse meta.
Yep, pretty much this. On lower ranks he was really strong before the buff. Now, after the buff, especially when pocketed by Mercy, he is pretty much a steamroller.
The game should not be balanced for lower ranks, but then again, they should still keep eye on those ranks, because thats where majority of playerbase is.
