Sniper Reaper has the longest range shotguns I have ever seen.

Nah. If they dealt 10 damage it would still be half damage against armor. I suggest 9 pellets at 15 damage each, tighter spread, spread pattern (ALL SHOTGUNS SHOULD HAVE SPREAD PATTERNS), and an alt-fire that shoots slugs dealing 70 damage. As for Shadow Step, I’m thinking they should just get rid of it, give Wraith Form the ability to fly (a la Booster or Valkyrie) and give Reaper a Smoke Screen ability where he throws a smoke grenade with a 5 meter radius obscuring the vision of enemies, prevents regeneration of shields or Mercy’s passive, and hides ally players inside from detection abilities (including Widowmaker’s ultimate, Sombra’s passive, and Hanzo’s sonic arrow).

you mean like hawkeye?

Or the other team was just bad at killing him. To be fair, i may have spoken out of term with the whole potg thing, which is why i deleted the comment. Then again, if 3 out 5 games i play end with a Reaper potg, i must be doing something right.

quickplay literally means nothing when it comes to balancing lmao

(Raises left eyebrow)

if this is a concern… then your playing reaper wrong o.o; plus reaper is at a better spot then he’s even been. (if you don’t count the beyblade meta lol) so i wouldn’t call him trash. the armor can be a slight pain but you do so much damage it’s gone in a barrel stuffer shot or so anyways. enemy healing = more hp for me.

Honestly its probably the niche thing as to why they leave him alone, really don’t like the niche excuse.

35

If you want to keep the casual audience, it does. Comp is not the be all, end all.

maybe in bronze lmfao

37

what’s bronze? is this some place where stats and mechanics function differently?

38

oh sorry i was just assuming thats the rank you play at where reapers actually good

39

sometimes i play in bronze sometimes silver but most of the time i’m playing skrims with high gold/plats because that’s what my friends are and i’ll always choose playing with my friends over solo que. Plus Bronze has better communication and less toxicity then any other rank peroid. every so often i get a bad placement run and it tosses me into low silver/ high bronze and it’s always a pleasure playing in those lower ranks just because people are nice and try and work together. their mechanical skills may be dog poop but atleast they enjoyable to play with. unlike other ranks.

every hero is viable in bronze just saying

41

every hero is vialbe in every rank Reaper is a specialist just like phara and doomfist vs the right team comp they are the hero u would want to use over other dps. just because a hero has a niche doesn’t make them bad. maybe your just bad at reaper.
