Oh, are you already getting slept, bashed, and Doomfist punched? Here’s another obstacle for you tanks and supports to deal with, Reaper!
No matter how much HP they have, he can destroy you without even needing to reload! Oh you finally got the hit on him, and he’s almost dead? Too bad! Reaper can use his wraith form to avoid all damage, while also being able to heal in it, so he has no repercussions for his mistakes!
Also, Moira’s fade is unfair because it lets her escape and undo her mistakes btw.
I’d say he’s 50/50. On one end he can be pretty oppressive if you’re playing an off-tank, but also gets smacked around when you’ve got a Rein/Zar or a Hog that has a 100% hook accuracy.
As support, I try to bait out his wraith, then coat him in anti-juice. My team is then usually present to do the rest.
I like how reapers approach me at middle range thinking they do damage just for the next second they find themselves almost dead because every hero probably has better mid range potential than reaper with exceptions such as melee heroes and maybe hog or dva
Imagine you could punch his face after getting smoked by his shotguns… Like winston… When he’s angry
Just more punsh
Its litteraly the only hero making me always reconsider to select tank
Open q no issue.
Roll me on winston as reaper
I go hitscan
Reaper isn’t that much of a problem per se
But
If the team doesn’t stop him…
Its not a pleasure to be in the tank slot without a team vs a reaper
But yeah, we can’t realy balance around that…
Unless a tank can deal with a reaper in this setting only.
Which does not get better with teamwork + coordination (which is kinda impossible)
my only issue with reaper is the fact that he’s a huge tank/barrier buster, but they went with 222, while i do like 222 because it can add structure, having mei/reaper being absolutely ridiculous to fight as tanks can get annoying if your team isn’t doing much about them
but this is more of a coordination problem, than anything
and this game is, ya know… 6v6
not 1v1
so it’s mostly fine
“mistakes”?
he’s a close range hero
is it a “mistake”, or is it intentional
again with this poor argument of “it’s definitely a mistake and nobody should ever be allowed to have something they can utilize if they do make a mistake”
ohno
the support hero gets a button to protect themselves
maybe after she’s used it if she made that “mistake”, push harder to kill her
because she’s a sitting duck, and that thing won’t perfectly get her back into a better position 100% of the time
if it’s a “mistake”, then she’s still overextended even after using it
if not, then it probably wasn’t even a “mistake”, it was just a good use of the ability
Was just doing placements on a alt, reaper i literally went got the door for food came back killed enemy tanks winston hog then ulted as enemy cree high noons and we won.
Like the effort he takes when there’s not a competent enemy dps is so low for the rewards he gets same with junker pharah torb.
I do think that a good Zarya or especially Dva can completely shut down a Reaper and make him a waste of a slot. But that isn’t much comfort when you are playing MT alongside a bad Zarya or Dva, or a Hog or something.
Hog unless you are cyx is a ult battery for reaper, orissa dva and a high energy zarya are okish against him, some winstons vlaim they can shield dance a reaper im yet to see one in action.
