Let Reaper Eat Souls Again

General Discussion

Everytime he eats a soul it’s someone Mercy can’t Rez and he gets a free reset on Wraith.

Then Mass Rez can come back, with changes, because it has plenty of counters.

The supercharged new Deadeye.
Torb’s splurge.
Hammond’s Mines.

Not a fan of rez as a mechanic and still want mass rez back cause she couldn’t rez random picks you got without rez feeling like a waste.

Wait he could eat souls? When?

Tbh it never made sense why reapers old passive never countered mercy’s soul thing, like it made NO sense.

From launch 'til like mid 2017?

7

Why did they change it?

8

To give him lifesteal for “better survivability”

9

Wouldn’t the souls give him lifesteal anyway?

Reaper

  • The Reaping (Passive)
    • Removed health orbs
    • Now regains 20% of all damage done to heroes as health

Developer Comment: Reaper’s old healing passive was useful if you could kill a bunch of enemies in a row. But since enemies needed to be dead for it to work, it wasn’t very helpful unless the situation was already in your favor. His new passive lets him get immediate benefit from it, especially when fighting Tank heroes, which tend to be larger targets that deal lower damage.

He has to win the fight, mean in 1v1 it will not help him until he kill someone.

Oh yeah…

13

I think since they lowered his lifesteal they could probably also bring back the soul orbs

14

Balance the two. Drop lifesteal back to 20% life steal, but he gets a small heal from nomming down souls and it prevents a res.

Reaper is no longer a monster at the lower ranks since he isn’t sitting at full health while diving the enemy team, and he has a better reason to be picked in the higher ranks as someone that can deny res from Mercy.

Design involving hard counters is bad.
