Reaper kills everybody and is everlasting, going on to outlive us all.
Like I get it, you can tooOOOooOOOooOOOOootally counter him and nOooOooOOoOOoOoOOOOOOoooobody uses him in higher ranks, but seriously? Most of us are IN the lower ranks and he’s shredding through literally everything. It’s bad enough a balanced team comp is as rare as a unicorn, now we’re all screwed even if we do, by some miracle, have a single tank on the team.
Even FFA isn’t safe from him. I have matches that finish with 6 min to spare with 1 reaper just shredding through everybody.
Yes. I am in the lower ranks and I can manage him on my own. The real reason he shreds lower ranks is because nobody wants to call him and nobody can counterpick one of his numerous counters.
Reaper is STILL bad though. He’s still only effective when he’s in extreme close range of his targets, and he still lacks the engagement options to reliably get INTO that kind of range.
They could give him 80% healing and it wouldn’t matter because he has to get within spiting distance to do any damage. Something like this is what’ll separate the high ranks from the low ones.
The funniest part to me is Reaper ults and everyone’s like “SEEEEEEEEEE look how strong he is”…often times when that same ult last week probably would’ve done the same without countering it…
What if we’re not DpS?
I’m sorry but for all their claims of “counter-play” they’re doing a good job of removing it from tanks.
Reaper feels like Doomfist did, Doom wasn’t good either, but that doesn’t make it any less infuriating to play against. I’m suppose to just accept a loss because my Mccree wont listen/Flanking on his own/neither of my DpS will even try counter Reaper?
Call me salty but i’m already bored of having to accept a loss at the spawn room, but now if the enemy has a reaper at the same time I may aswell play the 5th DpS.
