im not sure if it is a valid discussion but whenever im reaper and in a 1v1 situation…im getting headshots but still losing the gunfight…im not sure if he needs a healing headshot buff or something but just wondering what your guys ideas on it would be

Reapers damage is insane, if you’re already losing the fight don’t expect to win it

Not so much a headshot buff, but a way to deal with all the shields and armor. He has limited range so dealing with him isn’t too hard – except even in close range, Reaper is unable to do the damage that he needs to do before he has to disengage – too many shields, heals, and armor.

Yeah, if you wana ult with Reaper, there have to be 100 things to get rid of before…

Yeah its insane honestly. On top of being one of the slowest ult to get in the game and one of the easiest to counter, you have to make sure that:
- Genji won’t deflect and kill you with your own ult
- D.va won’t eat it
- Roadhog won’t hook you
- Mccree won’t stun you
- Widowmaker won’t headshot you from across the map while you are a sitting duck
- Lucio, junkrat or pharah won’t boop you out of range
- Ana doesn’t sleep you
- the list goes on and on…
most of the times the only good use of this ult is to solo ult a poor mercy…
Reaper is really in a sad state and i wish we hear from the devs what they think f him.

Exactly, not to mention his ult is practically useless if zen or lucio ults, which is pretty frustrating given that his ult charges slowly. That’s on top of all the shields.

Reaper’s ult is very easy to Counter and alomost no Problem for tanks
Nah, Reaper loses duels to every DPS due to his massive hitbox, even when landing all of his shots, unless he’s so close he’s breathing on them.

Yeah, he is the worst dps and has the lowest pickrate in master and gm actually.
He heals based on damage done so he heals more with headshots already because he’s doing more damage.
I wouldn’t call him the worst DPS as I still feel Doomfist is nigh useless except for a lucky punch pick, however he does need something.
As said the shields just make his job basically impossible. Further with Brig coming to live, another shield hero who provides armor and another aoe healer.
Perhaps part of his perk could be his shots aren’t stopped by shields and go right through. He has to go close to meaningful damage anyways, so it’s not like he can snipe from far away. It’ll just make him it a little less useless. Honestly I wouldn’t be opposed to Genji can’t reflect his shots either. Genji can move fastest it’s not a death sentence for Genji.
He already has 280 damage on headshots if he hits his spray in the right location up close.
Right location at point blank. Tip of the barrel has to touch their face.

He can’t even get up close with all the shields and better mid-range characters.

Huh, I didn’t know that Dragonstrike, Dragonblade, Pulse Bomb, Self-Destruct, Tactical Visor, Meteor Strike, Configuration: Tank, Molten Core, Infrasights, and RIP-Tire were prone to literally everything.

He needs less spread so more bullets hit

If this is happening then it’s possible that only a few of the 20 pellets fired are landing on the head and headshotting, due to his massive shotgun spread. If all 20 pellets headshot then that’s 280 damage dealt in one shot (assuming no armour).
What would really help here is a buff to tighten his shotgun spread.

Reaper’s ult takes a long time to build, and the ult is primarily intended to be used against a group of people. An ult that takes that long to build shouldn’t be so easily canceled. When you ult on a group, it’s been my experience that at least one person has something that cancels your ult, which is easier to do close range than e.g. Mcree’s ult from far away.

On the current PTR, his ult got so useless, it hurts
