General Discussion

And make it do it much faster when used during wraith form, like basically instant teleport.

Can we finally give Reaper the buffs he deserve?
Best / Worst Idea

They’re two separate abilities, they cancel each other out for a reason. Stop trying to shadowstep when you’re in the middle of the enemy team.

Ok, and why shouldn’t they be able to be used together? Because reaper is OP?

It would be a good way to ambush as well, two things Reaper isn’t that great at, improved just like that!

Wraith form is considerably better now that he moves faster and also reloads his weapons. Shadow step is a teleport that should be used to flank or get your way out of damage or something.
There shouldn’t be a need for them to use them together.
If you’re taking damage you shouldn’t be using shadow step, because it renders you immobile. You should be using wraith form because it renders you invulnerable and gives you an extra chance to fight.
The problem with Reaper is not his abilities, it’s his spread and hitmarkers.

Are you sure about that? Every time I play Reaper I do fine as long as I can get close enough to people, the issue is getting out before dying to CC spam, and with how little distance you can travel in wraith form, it’s almost impossible to get away.

At the very least, you should have a few invincibility frames after finishing a teleport so you can actually move without just being immediately shot in the head as he stands there yelling about his arrival.

Symmetra’s TP is basically a version of Shadow Step that functions properly.

Shadow Step is tied for worst ability in the game.

Shadow Step should have been reworked long ago.

Reaper is basically a joke. Half due to all shotguns in the game being trash, and half because he’s a “slippery flanker” who’s not all that slippery.

It’s honestly not the worst idea.

If you blew them both to get into a fight you would be like a tracer without blinks, dead.

Using them to flee would make being out of position not a death sentence, ghost, Tele to safety

They retain they’re normal function separately.

Prob need to fiddle with cooldowns.
