Really, why Reaper?

Yea, why should Orisa and Mei be allowed to walk out of it!?

I wonder if it’s a code limitation or something to actually remove him from the game so instead they just nerf him to the ground and ignore everyone asking for the Reaper buffs he needs.

Weird

Most likely, but I think of it as an opportunity for them to add something else to Reaper down the line. I hope.

It’s not like this gate kept Reaper from getting buffed.

Because we’ve actually gone back to 2017-2018 and are repeating the age old “Hog is a better Reaper so there’s no reason to pick Reaper” conflict.

It’s just a consistency thing since Fade and Wraith are essentially the same ability when it comes to this stuff. If it were to go live they would probably do something like let Reaper Shadowstep out of these abilities or something.

but outside the 1% moira is fun to play D: , so like the game was unfun for the 1% but now it’s unfun for also the 99% hahaha
why reaper wtf

No youre right but I think it would remind them to give him some love down the line if they know they’re limiting some aspect of him if they’re changing something due to limitations or “universalizing” fade behavior

Torb is literally the most forgettable hero ever, why even touch him?

Why would you think that? He’s been bad for awhile and they still nerfed him.

This is the same debate as
“Why can Moira fade out of grav, when Tracer can’t recall out of it.”

It shouldn’t be fair for fade to allow you out of grav, and recall doesn’t. Now that fade and wraith doesn’t let you from using your escape ability from these high-value ults, it’s now balanced between all heroes.

Reaper is still always going to be the “tank-melter”, especially now in this off-tank meta. This change won’t affect his situational pick rate.

Hmm, well I do know he was considered either annoying or boarderline OP when he had his extra heal % at certain competitive ranks and/or for a lot of the casual player base so they did nerf his healing. He’s hasn’t been as good as the other heroes since then. But as for this change, I have no idea for it other than the sake of making phase effects behave the same way with respect to position holding/pull abilities

my point exactly…

It’s still a nerf for a already bad hero.

Reaper was, and still is, a situational pick for brawl comps. This changes does not change his pick rate, and this nerf does little to change the fact if you’re in a grav or flux, you’re gonna have to rely on a defensive ult to survive, how it should be.

Its like saying beating a dead cat is okay becuase its dead, smh

Aha.
So tell me why Orisa is not listed?
She can still get out.
Equal rights for all, right?

Reading this in reapers voice

I did read that, I was fast enough.

Now everybody is fast enough hahaha
