How would YOU 'fix' Reaper?

General Discussion

The title says it all. What mechanics of Reaper would you change to potentially bring him out of the harsh spot he’s in right now & make him kinda viable against common team compositions we’re seeing in today’s competitive seasons?

Change his wraith, decrease reload time (Ik it’s not necessarily bad, just could help) and make his ult better (not sure how). I don’t play reaper much but whenever I do I do really well. He’s my calling tbh but I just don’t find his gameplay interesting.

Well I know a method that uses a big rubber band… oh wait you don’t mean that kind of fix.

Scrap shadowstep and actually give him a relocation ability worth using.

  • Wrath Form on resource metter (he would still auto reload but only after certain amount of time in wrath). Now can be used to fly (still keeps current move speed)

  • TP can be used on walls also. Slightly faster casting speed.

  • New skill RMB. Smoke grenade. Reaper shoots 2 grenades which will smoke area at X radius for X time. Thats pretty much it. Projectille similar to Junk LMB.

Give him a secondary weapon with medium to long range. It doesn’t have to be great, just give him something useful to do when he can’t engage ar close range.

Treat armor as normal hp, reduce his hitbox size, reduce spread by 20%, turn death blossom into a channeled ult, and replace shadowstep with something like Winston’s leap

Edit: BTW even a 20% spread reduction would put him at around 16 degrees spread, still twice that of DVA, the second largest spread in the game

Increase his ult movespeed and falloff range
Decrease shadowstep cast time
Reduce his spread a little

id just speed up the teleport, the thing about reaper is that he is a tank buster, any time a tank meta happens reaper is always there, hes not around much otherwise

Replace Shadowstep with an ability that turns him into an actual assassin. Like allow him to mark an enemy player, and while that player is alive and marked, Reaper gains movement speed while moving towards that player, and his primary fire ignores the target’s armor damage reduction. Something that would make him feel like the scary man of death he’s portrayed to be.

GOATS meta, 3 tanks, Reaper pickrate currently at the lowest of all heroes in GM.

Back in triple tanks, Reaper was considered a troll pick due to how horrible he is. Simply check old tier lists and records. Reaper never left D tier assuming he ever even was there

And your argument is “You are fake news!”?

Have you ever played competitive before?

That isn’t an insult. I’m looking up your profile in overbuff and it says you never have finished placements, and I’m wondering if Overbuff is wrong or if you are actually talking of the meta despite never being in competitive
