Reaper steamrolls ever QP and competitive game I see. What ends up happening is that there are few heroes that can counter him reliably (Mei’s temporary removal isn’t helping), and either he wins every duel by a hair thanks to his large HP pool (250HP!) and health absorption, or he is able to use his escape abilities just before he would have died. Reaper already wins most duels; we don’t have Cassidy’s flashbang or Mei’s stun to help counter Reaper anymore, so without nerfing his damage or his health absorption outright (which is insane even at mid-range), I think the best solution is to drop his health to either 200HP or at least 225HP. That will allow other characters to have a better chance of winning duels and finishing him off before his escape.
Reaper only steamrolls and low elo and while across every ELO he is quite a good to decent pick right now I wouldn’t call him OP.
playing pharah usually takes care of him, assuming you can play her decently
not enough that he got nerfs on the dmg and he can’t oneshot mccree and symm in his head, but hanzo and widow can even oneshot reaper but the reaper must be close to do something at the same time he got a lifesteal nerf because less dmg is a smaller lifesteal and spread from 6 to 7 do people still want more nerf reaper? reaper is currently one of the most balanced characters.
The only thing that can be given for the reaper is a buff on the dmg so that he can oneshot symm and mccree and change the quality of that useles tp
btw reaper solo is not that strong
He is fine and I’ve beat him up as a Mercy… Also a Winston and Reaper kinda counters him.
Did they nerf his damage that much? There is no way he does not still one shot Cassidy.
Reaper is weak. If you want to counter him outside of the tank role, play any hero with a spacing ability.
Sojourn, Widow, Hanzo, Cassidy, Tracer, Genij,
Lucio, Brig, Kiriko (cleanse has a boop effect), etc. You get the idea.
Also wraith has a hefty CD for what it is, and his ult can be shutdown by any decent dva
Nerf his hp? Buff his damage and/ or life steal accordingly. If he loses 10-20% of his hp, it’s only fair to increase one or the other by just as much.
reaper beats some 215/220 dmg and mccree has 225 hp, 2 shots or mele are enough to kill mccree but it would still be nice if reaper could oneshot 225 hp char if widow hanzo and sojourn can so why reaper can not even 225 hp oneshot
Most people really underestimate how much Reaper has benefitted from the changes to OW2.
- Lack of stuns have made Death Blossom much safer, made Reaper much harder to shut down, and made it significantly harder to prevent Reaper from using Wraith Form
- The DPS passive makes Death Blossom harder to escape, made it harder to space Reaper, and allowed Reaper to escape further after using Wraith Form
- A general lack of barriers has made it much easier for Reaper to connect with his target and utilize lifesteal
i think his lifesteal during ultimate needs adjusting because its near impossible to kill him if you dont have a stun
not to mention he had near 100% pickrate during OWL
a reaper that uses an ult is still easy to kill with a good aim or keeping a distance i don’t remember when the last time i died from an ult reaper.
Reaper had an almost 100% owl pick rate because he has the perfect team for him, not because he is strong
I’m pretty sure I’ve one shot cree as reaper
interesting … because reaper beats 215/220 dmg in the head and the mccree has 225 hp
He might’ve been missing health tbh lol
OK 225 HP 
BUT 
120 SHOTGUN IS BACK👍
SHAKE MY HAND 
yeah the pros stated that the comp they were using was good at enabling reaper do to the weakness he had of being slow honestly the times i have seen him during owl have the most impact was while kiriko was using kitsune rush and reaper was standing in it
Isn’t reaper literally Meta right now in owl, and been a must pick with sojourn?
because reaper has a perfect team that gives him what reaper does not have. He is not strong in itself, only other characters make him playable in owl
From what I’ve understood, he’s not a must pick, but he definitely is meta.
