Welcome to day 6 of Daily Hero Opinion! Today’s hero is the leader of Talon himself: Reaper
My opinion on Reaper is that he is very very weak currently and is in need of a buff or rework.
Discuss your opinions on Reaper and suggest a hero for tomorrow!
Heroes already done:
Mercy
Soldier: 76
Ana
Orisa
Zenyatta

Reaper needs to avoid armor. It’s completely nonsensical and hilariously pathetic that the Tank Buster shoots blanks against tank health.
His Shadowstep is a joke of an ability
I think you mean Doomfist.
Daily opinion on reaper, just killed one today as Orisa… in solo… now i want to give him a hug honestly : I
Reaper needs a definitive spot as a dps (flanker or tank buster)
Hog next pls.
I wish Blizzard would give his shotguns a reduced spread.
I might be alone on this, but I feel like he doesn’t need a major buff. Just something Hammond sized would make a huge difference, since tanks are also being very oppressed ATM.
Speaking of Hammond, he’s a pretty interesting topic to talk about tomorrow!

I can make a poll. As Hammond and Hog were both suggested

If anyone wants an in-depth read of someone with 200+ hours on Reaper and has played in every rank: I’ll leave this here (71 likes) Why Reaper s̶u̶c̶k̶s̶ and what he needs - K he still sucks 12/18/2018 (46 upvotes)
tl;dr – He’s more frustrating to play, has a dry kit, has a useless E ability that isn’t helpful in teamfights whatsoever.
Doomfist and reaper are both leaders of Talon

Reaper is cool, intimidating, epic, and scary all at the same time.
IN THE LORE
In game, he is kind of a joke, I’m some ways xd
Tank buster with 1/2 dmg to armor
Closerange with low mobility
A teleport that’s slightly faster than running
Had his 3 biggest counters buffed and now Torb/Hog are getting changes before Reaper
He’s terrible now and is in desperate need for a buff
Has potential as a hero but should honestly just be used as a counter pick. Shadowstep is a poor ability but still useful and underrated.
He is fine… it’s more wrecking ball and other tanks.
He has not really a role right now.
Not even a niche
ok maybe he is not fine.
What does this even mean. “just be used as a counter pick” Um.
By the time you get into Masters (and hell even past gold?) , it’s really not useful. It’s also not underrated it’s just the games been out for 2 years; everyone knows maps and popular “Reaper teleport and drop down deathblossom spots” Shadowstep is for Quickplay / anyone with no sense of awareness. Once in a blue moon I can punish a tunnel visioning widow but outside of that it really adds nothing to his character and intended playstyle and he deserves a more useful ability.
In his current state he should be used as a counter pick for the most part, what don’t you understand?
Have you watched Spirit play Reaper? He uses shadow step to position every fight.
I had, what I thought was, a pretty good idea to fix Reaper.
