Roadhog does everything Reaper can do, plus zones out enemies and tanks for team.
Both of roadhogs abilities are better than reapers. The only difference is reapers ult is better.
Reaper was supposed to be the tank Buster that can deal with flanking, obnoxious hogs. Good hogs will consistently combo a Reaper to death everytime.
Reaper needs his life steal back asap
lmao no roadhog ult is better than reaper’s, as he can pretty much zone a whole team and create so much space that its insane, probably the best tank tool for creating space.
If that’s the case then Reaper has absolutely nothing
At least he is too too too edgy for you.
All the tanks are better DPS literally ALL of em. They take way more resources to work so its obvious they are going to do way more than any other role. Tanks are meant to be this tank high damage hero whose presence would be feared by the enemy. Going in thier range means death and that’s how it’s always been and should be
Hell no. Im not going back to where reaper could pretty much not be killed unless 3+people focus him.
Did you forget that Reaper shoots a lot faster with 8 ammo, a smaller hitbox and the fact he can wraith and it cleanses anti?
Yeah no, it is a skill matchup and if you lose it then it’s on you
Tanks are better than DPS in general.
There are some similarities. But Hog can’t Teleport.
Help me with my ignorance, is Reaper not able to Wraith out of Hook? What is this instant combo of which you speak? I haven’t played Reaper for a long time.
there’s only like a quarter of a second opportunity (and consider latency/ping) to wraith out after you get pulled in
it might as well be considered RNG whether or not you successfully can wraith away, but more often than not there is no time.
playing reaper vs hog just feels bad, junk hitbox is smaller than reaper’s and demonstrably has a more consistent chance of mining away after getting hooked and farms hog in general more successfully.
Heck no.
I’d recommend binding Wraith to right click, helps a lot and you’ll use wraith before getting hooked.
His hitbox is a massive joke.
It’s just gigantic.
Roadhogs 600hp with 300 selfheal and 50% damage reduction are a way better deal.
And by FAR the easiest tank ult to shut down, especially in this meta.
Roadhog is a better Reaper + Mei.
Freeze stun= hook stun
Cryofreeze= take a breather
Shotguns= scrapgun
Reaper & Mei HP combined: 500 = Roadhog HP: 600
No he can‘t
that doesn’t seem like something that matters, personally i play with default
keybinds just fine, and there’s technically an advantage on having it bound to a key over a mouse button which requires full actuation, whereas most mechanical key switches do not require to be fully depressed before activating.
using wraith before getting hooked is a study in timing / reading i guess, my thought is a ‘good’ hog isn’t to going to just plainly telegraph a hook onto a reaper out in plain sight
A lot people find it easier to react with their aiming - i.e. dominant - hand than their non-dominant pinky.
One shouldn’t try to Wraith out of hook, is me point.
high level gameplay theoreticals probably shouldnt dictate base character balance when you’ve got a game that completely revolves around certain characters inherently shutting (counter picking) others down since most of the player base doesn’t play in masters and gm
Tracer has to constantly dodge Roadhog’s hook with Blink. It is exactly the same for Reaper with his Wraithform. If it is possible to do it on Tracer, it is also possible on Reaper.
I strongly disagree with OP that Roadhog is better than Reaper. Reaper has a very low TTK on tanks up-close. Roadhog can’t match that. And Reaper can quite quickly make minced meat out of Roadhog.
They have different roles, but I don’t agree that Roadhog does Reaper’s job better than him.
Sorry again for my ignorance, just trying to learn. Haven’t played Reaper in a LONG time and haven’t played Hog for a few months. Used to be a death sentence for Hog if he hooked Reaper, clearly that has changed? What changed?
