Just decrease Self-Heal and heā€™s fine. He is on the list of those ā€œwe buffed the character for Goats then didnā€™t nerf it when 2-2-2 came outā€ (Even though Reaper was never really good against Goats)

What a well thought out contribution for your 7th post.

Heā€™s far from fine though. Like several other heroes that were buffed to eliminate goats, heā€™s extremely overtuned.

Itā€™s just not fun to play against something that requires way more skill to counter. He along with some other heroes make dive mot viable at all.

Maybe they should start with working on something else other than shadowstep.

A great post with a fully detailed argument why he should be nerfed.
How can one not agree to nerf him after reading that post?

His lifesteal should be nerfed.

He was a joke before those buffs.
Heā€™s not even strong.

The Reaper/Mei comp that came out at OWL level right after the 2-2-2 Patch would like to have a word with you.

I see. Give him more buffs then. No wonder the game is dying. When heroes like reaper,Mei, Orisa, Sigma Baptiste are meta, you know youā€™ve the worst designed game to measure any ranked experience.

He doesnā€™t need nerfs, he needs to be focused. If he didnā€™t need to be focused he wouldnā€™t be a strong hero. Reaper is fine

His Overbuff stats have a retort.

Reaper is fine, I kill him all the time as Reinhardt.

I swear people just want him to be bad at everything.

Reaper ainā€™t even meta anymore, youā€™re a few weeks behind. His pickrates in high ranks cratered after the shield nerfs because all that cover was really good for him.

They run Hanzo and Mei now.

Reaperā€™s pickrates in other ranks will eventually drop to where they were, I take it upon myself to help with that by beating their faces in as Reinhardt.

I agreed with you. Give him 250% lifesteal and blossom on E. Because heā€™s weak.

Btw, overbuff has less than 20% playersā€™ data.

As for higher ranks and OWL, not interested. Itā€™s like playing dive in bronze back in the day because it was meta.

Itā€™s the same argument I see from people. Widow is fine. Doom is fine. Mei is fine. Hanzo, Sigmais fine.

No hero should have solo carry potential in a game like Overwatch. They should remove the tag of team based shooter.

OMEGALUL verbuff

I donā€™t have much of a problem with Reaper myself, If I had to see a dps nerfed right now it would be Mei, but I can understand that the amount of self-heal he is able to gather is sometime frustrating.

Heā€™s fine, it just seems like heā€™s a bit strong bc of 2-2-2. Some GM players such as the one from gameleap says 2-2-2 makes it so that Reaper us a bit strong bc of there having to be 2 tanks always, and Reaper pretty much uses tanks as huge health packs. It used to be that going 3 dps would weaken Reaper. But you canā€™t do that now.

With 1-3-2 coming Reaper will automatically get nerfed withour him actuallly getting nerfed bc three dps in a team is now possible.

Why do you think herored that have extremely high self-sustain are meta now? Letā€™s see:
Orisa: buffs after buffs to make her viable. Now she had got 600hp shield but still bad.
Sigma: worst designed hero after Brig.
Mei: she got buffed for 2 years.
Reaper: dog$%# hero. Shouldnā€™t be viable anywhere near diamond. But if you pick reaper, i wonā€™t be able to play half of that tanks.

Itā€™s just weird when people complain/want to buff something based on their status in masters+.

Like i see tons of posts asking heroes like Sym, Bastion etc. Should be buffed to make them more viable.

And yet, when those heroes pop up in your match, not a lot of people can counter them. But what do I know.

I really wish Sym, Torb, Bastion become meta for 2 weeks. Want to see how much fun people have playing the game.

Heā€™s fine.

Reaperā€™s a pretty team reliant hero because of all his weaknesses, Iā€™d say heā€™s especially reliant on his tanks.

What tanks do you play?

Reaperā€™s gotta win in his most effective range sometimes or heā€™s not worth his nicheness.

I completely agree, he has to much health and does to much damage.
