Let me say this first… The first buff to reaper was great and he needed it for sure. The second buff to him was so unnecessary. He is ridiculously broken now and NEEDS a nerf to his lifesteal. I’ve played against him, and with him, and its insane how long he can survive just by landing any shots without even using wraith. He needs a fix asap.

Reaper is OP as F… at the moment. Team with better Reaper wins all the time. There is nothing you can do against him in close combat, no counter whatever. That is riciculous. I admit, I am silver/gold only, so aiming is a problem, but Reaper does not need to really aim, he just needs to get close. There is NO FUN playing against a team with a decent Reaper at the moment. PLEASE FIX THAT!

Seriously, I went 1v1 against a Reaper as D.Va – I had full 600 health starting out, and the Reaper had already taken quite a few hits from my teammates, plus some extra from me because I snuck up behind him – he had about two bars left on his health when he noticed me and started firing at me.
I engaged him at medium range, and used my mobility to keep him from getting up close… yet he took down my mech and killed me – and left that battle with all but one health bar filled. I never missed, my crosshairs were registering hits with every shot, including several headshots and a missile volley or two, and then 3-4 headshots with my baby D.Va pew-pew blaster… and yet at a range that should be beyond his optimal range he took out a full-health meka and baby D.Va and left that encounter with more health than he started with.
Ridiculously F’ing Broken.
I know he’s supposed to be a tank-buster, but that’s supposed to be predicated on him getting into close range where his shotguns do stupid amounts of damage when every pellet is hitting. Reaper basically takes no skill now… if you can keep your shots in the ballpark of the enemy, you’re damn near invincible short of one-hit kills (some ults, sniper headshot, etc).

reaper needs a nerf asap, using reaper became plain cheating, i often see players abandon a match when they see someone in the other team is using a reaper

I can kind of agree with you, but this isn’t a bug. It was an intentional buff.
