Reaper can wraith out of grav by not mccree's stun?

General Discussion

seems kinda backwards, but also kinda make sense too

I wish there was a large chart published by Blizz that explained all the interactions.

Graviton surge doesn’t stun… so Reaper can use Wraith form to get out of it. Seems pretty intuitive as long as one knows what ‘stun’ means.

I dont get whats special about reaper and moiras shifts that they are allowed to get out of grav anyways. But yes grav isnt a stun.

4

that’s why I said this…

gravity doesn’t work on magic

5

Science isn’t magic, but Arthur C. Clarke famously said “Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic.”

Escaping a near identical black hole is a hell of a lot easier then getting sand out of your eyes :man_shrugging:

Basically as it was said. At the core level, stuns stop movement. Grav does not stun, just kind of hold you in place, and they have decided that heroes that can dissapate themselves can escape being sucked into one place

Grav doesn’t disable all abilities
Stun does.

Makes perfect sense.

stun, stuns the reaper before his invincible smoke form, grav simply pulls you to it’s center, since his smoke form isn’t counted as a mobility ability but invincibility ability it means the grav doesn’t affect him using the ability in the first place and it also doesn’t stop him from just walking out of it because he’s in a different reality kind of deal.

They technically aren’t movement abilities as all other ones are classified, all other movement abilities that are disabled will move your character no matter what unless there’s a wall or something similar blocking your path, with fade and wraith you have the option to not move at all, meaning they aren’t movement abilities in the same sense as the others, they’re movement speed buffs with added effects

According to the lore, wraith forms aren’t magic. They were the product of bio-engineering which allowed people to disperse the matter making up their bodies. (Not sure if that’s 100%, haven’t read it in a while) And besides, gravity would still affect it, even if the atoms had more space between them. If anything, the gravity would make it harder for Reaper and Moira to re-condense themselves. Trust me, I’m a whale biologist. :stuck_out_tongue_closed_eyes:

I don’t care about Lore, the true story is Reaper signed a pact with the Devil :laughing:

I’m the guy saying that Wraith form is science, not magic (and quoting Arthur C. Clarke.) OP is the one claiming it’s magic.

Tracer’s blink has sufficient escape velocity to escape grav surge

mobility ability, game science vs real science.
she could recall aswell as she travels through time but apparently it’s a mobility ability aswell, however she could dodge the grav with recall as it has 1.25 seconds of invincibility frames on it.
further more i think reaper could shadowstep out of it if timed correctly as he also has invincibility frames on that ability but it’s in the middle of the animation and much less likely you’ll pull it off.
