Reaper Buff, I'm Hesitant

Now obviously we don’t know what exactly will happen to Reaper.

But it seems that Geoff hinted at a cancel-able wraith form.

This worries me. Wraith could be cancelled. But it would have a bigger shooting delay…

I honestly don’t know if that 2nd half should be implemented. For a lot of reasons

  • There’s already a slight delay going in and out of wraith
  • The wraith reload buff seems to be in the opposite direction of a shooting cooldown
  • Both of Reaper’s abilities are currently “all-in” so unless Shadowstep is buffed too…
  • If the goal of a Reaper+Mei buff is getting ahead of a tank meta. Reaper would wraith cancel around tanks a lot, where the tanks would always land the first shot while Reaper has to wait the extra [x] seconds
  • finally, Reaper needs a decently sized buff. I just can’t see cancelled wraith+shooting cooldown helping as much as it could.

Again, we’ll have to wait and see.

If the delay now is .2 the delay in the buff won’t go up more then 80% so .6(right?)
