Shadowstep is not useless … it’s actually good. Just don’t teleport infront of a Widow or in the center of the enemy group. And 3 times faster would basicly be instant. The armor thing …. maybe.
The only problem with Reaper is his teleport. Its one of the worst abilities in the game next to Rein’s charge. All it does it get Reaper killed in combat. It’s loud, slow, and leaves him vulnerable. I’d rather he have something like smoke grenades or a shadow clone jutsu or something.
I play a lot of Zen. His teleport ability is terrible. It’s loud and slow and gets him killed more often than it should. It’s as bad as the Rein charge in terms of usefulness.
it sucks. IT SUCKS. please tell me whoever liked this is memeing. it sucks so much. it has to be like 3 times faster and even then they can just freakin head shot you. there is literally a silihouette of you as you appear. I suck at widowmaker and I can frekin one hit the poor fella
Again, its LOUD and SLOW and leaves him VULNERABLE. Its a terrible ability. Especially because they’re making audio reach longer in the game which will make it even worse.
It’s a suicide ability. He tries to “flank”, we hear him, he dies.
OK maybe the sound thing is true, but the ability is not horrible. I still get some good flanks on people with that ability. Also, you wouldn’t be vulnerable if you don’t teleport near someone. Teleport far away from people so that they wont hear you.
There’s a very easy solution to this, though: Target somewhere that isn’t directly in front of an enemy.
Shadowstep isn’t designed as a super-long-range blink to use in combat. It’s a way to bypass areas and get into locations you otherwise couldn’t (e.g. behind or above the enemy team) before you enter combat.
I played Reaper only a couple of times, but i never had a problem with teleport … but didn’t use it that often tbh. You need to target areas somewhere the enemy can’t see you. It’s like Sombra’s translocator …. don’t drop it in the center of the objective, hide it somewhere.
