He’s not terrible. He has the highest damage in the game and that’s all he’s about.
Problem is he needs to find a way to get in while allies distract enemies. The only thing he needs is a buff to shadow step and then he’s perfect.

his hitbox is just as big as bastions but hes got 50 less hp
he literally cant do damage unless hes 5 feet or closer
his ultimate ability literally gets countered by 90% of the rosters non ult spells (hook, hack, flashbang, boop, shield, shiled stun, list goes on)
at least on bastion i can deal damage from far away… reaper? nope… his shotguns only deal damage 5 feet and if the target is any further his shotguns do zero damage

Incorrect. I know at least Widowmaker out damages him.
I can’t see picking him over someone else.
reaper is highest dps in game? oh?
since when can reaper one shot kill some1 from 60 yards away?
dude literally has to be within 5 feet or he literally does zero damage
lol

You can think whatever you want. Back here in reality he’s fine for what he is. Dude eats tanks and anything else he can get into range on.
except every single team has brig and mcree these days
if u get within 10 yards of either one u will be stunned and insta killed.
so u end up playing the “waiting game” the whole entire game… just “waiting” for “the right time” to go in… kinda boring tbh… playing around the enemy because they r OP? what?

My experience with Reaper’s ultimate recently has been “Die! Die! Di-Agh!” as I get stunned to oblivion.
man you are salty. he’s fine everyone has counters and everyone won’t be perfect in every meta.

They both have a wide spread and assuming all Bastion’s shots hit then yes.
They do roughly the same damage. But again Spread factor. Widow is more consistent, Reaper’s is faster.
Because close range are how shotguns work. If you want high damage at range pick Widowmaker or Hanzo.
why does hanzo have one shot power at every range but reaper doesnt?
just cuz brah?
so ur telling me that long distance heroes r just op and thats the way its always gonna be?
Brigitte is holding it down for close range.
Actually though, I’m convinced that they mostly reworked Hanzo around fighting Genji and Tracer while forgetting how much of a natural counter he is to Reaper and Roadhog.
Not really.
If you and Hanzo run into each other in a closed space, Reaper will win more often than Hanzo. As Spread is more forgiving (and life steal) help Reaper in that fight.
If you’re too predictable or run into a wide open space with no cover to challenge long range heroes you deserve that arrow.
If you are a good Reaper you’ll know when/where to move in. But from personal experience, even all the tips in the world won’t help if your team doesn’t move in with you.
Reaper is just laughable, with newest additions and buffs, for other heroes.

You forgot Bastion exists.
line of sight is key to reaper in the current patch systems never go out in the open or u will get melted dependent on how successful your team is in the fight
Reaper is not the only character in this boat. I welcome you to Sombra, except she doesn’t actually have a niche.
Reaper is not worthless. He fills several roles at once.
-
He is great at tank busting. Hands down one of the best.
-
He provides a threat in cqc that other tank busters cannot which means he can push people out of area’s fairly decisively. Making it easier for his own team to push/hold.
-
He has high sustain against large targets and can now peel very easily and fold back into his own team.
Junkrat, Bastion, and Hanzo may be able to shred tanks and at further ranges but the moment the fight goes in for cqc the health, consistent damage output, mobility, and peeling ability of Reaper shines through.
