How would YOU 'fix' Reaper?

Improving his damage against armor would be a start.

Have reaper’s shots ignore yellow armor and do direct dmg

I think Reaper’s damage should be calculated as a flat 140 damage per shot, then calculated by how many pellets actually hit and how far away the target was.

Right now he does 140 with all pellets hitting and 42 if all pellets (somehow through some miracle) hit a target passed 20m.

His damage is calculated as 7 damage per pellet with 20 pellets. This is what screws him with armor. Armor halves each pellet’s damage, thus halving his damage output.

What I believe could fix him is that he does an immediate 140 damage if all pellets hit up close. Armor will then reduce it to 135 damage. If he only hits half his pellets up close, then he’ll do 70 flat damage, 65 against armor. They could even nerf his damage to 125 per shot, and increase pellet count to 25. Maybe even reduce his self-healing a bit.
