I for one say we Nerf Reaper

How do you do fellow GM gamers I to am GM player, the Reaper hero is very strong and me and my fellow GM players think he’s overtuned and needs some Nerfs, he is to quite and hard to turn around on, his shadowstep makes it hard to see exactly where hes going and his wraith form goes to far for anyone to keep up with and finish him off as well as reloading his gun.
Reaper is played in all higher levels of play so by nerfing him we can let other heros shine. Alright my fellow GM top 500 players have a great day.

He could do with a little nerf, but nothing drastic. He’s one of the best DPS just now, if Widow didn’t make his life very hard that is. But since she i in so many games just now he probably won’t get touched.

Lmao no one cares what you or your “gm buddys” think. Whoever has problems with reaper is not gm

Hello fellow GM player. I, a GM player, also find Reaper to be problematic. He and Moira are in every GM game in which I play, and they are both oppressive.

I disagree to be honest.

The reason being my favorite character is the reaper guy. he is very powerfull. special move, honestly is one of the best in the game and so he comes equipped with these two revolvers and only takes about 3 or 4 shots to actually execute a kill so it comes really in handy specially when you come from the side.

Reaper has been my “main” since launch. Barely have played him much in OW2 though.

Im curious what parts of his kit seems to be overtuned.

Is it his primary fire that has the highest falloff damage in the game and is only optimal within 7 feet of his target?

Is it his insanely loud boots that alarm the entire team to his presence from 30 yards away?

Is it his Wraith ability that’s less useful than Moira Fade, Tracer Blink, Sombra tele, Soujorn slide or pretty much any other mobile ability on any other hero in the game?

Is it his Shadowstep which requires him to stand perfectly still while allowing every hero to aim at his head for 1-3 seconds before they need to fire?

Is it his Ultimate which can be interrupted by pretty much the entire roster of heroes in the game?

Good morrow fellow GM player! Though I share your sentiment with Reaper, I believe Mercy is the real issue plaguing our perfect game

This is part of his audio bugs. He’s sometimes completely silent, even when walking next to you. Pharah has the same issue with her jump jets not making noise sometimes.

Audio engine is garbage.

Useful as a cleanse, but yeah about it.

Sounds like you just try to teleport right in front of people and expect it to work. :man_shrugging:

And if you don’t interrupt it, it’s pretty much a team wipe. Sorry that your ult has counter play?

Not going to lie, I’ve tried this a few times in a chaotic fight when everyone is distracted, and I’ve downed a few beers for added courage. It does work…sometimes. But 95% of the time it doesn’t lol

No I use Shadowstep typically out of combat because it’s fun to have abilities that are only useful when youre not in combat.

If my ultimate is not interrupted by all 5(or 6) people in your team when every single person can interrupt it i deserve the team wipe… and so does the team i just killed.

But it’s not fair for them to interrupt your ult… Neat. Got it.

You just keep having to put words in my mouth so you have something to disagree with dont you?

Please tell me which parts of Reapers kit is ovetuned.

I never said I thought he was over tuned, but nice try being a hypocrite by putting words in my mouth after you claimed I did it to you.

I pointed out his audio bugs, even said another hero suffers from it (Another is Doomfist). Then I pointed out you’re acting like it’s unfair for your ult to be interrupted.

All I can say is, calm down, and track cool downs better.

But yeah, there is nothing fun about proposing Reaper nerfs. I need to get the spray bottle out.

Sassay is our you know who ? He is too nice for that , see i can say his name out aloud.

Fear of the name increases the fear of the … Whatever that crooked nose said :stuck_out_tongue_closed_eyes::joy:

Reaper is fine it’s just he is useful nowadays unlike before it’s just all the s9 patch plus stuff that pushes hero whoever can fight tanks to feel good.

No. Sassay does not ask for Reaper nerfs. There is actually only one GM player I have ever seen ask for something so utterly ridiculous. They are part of the Tracer Track Team.

I honestly changed my mind. Reaper is extremely strong. I was playing him wrong. Just farming for nuclear clips is not the correct way to play him and it is way harder than just walking at people.
