The first part is cool
The second part doesn’t solve anything.
at least i haven’t heard this one before…
Always good to see new ideas tossed around.
I don’t really know how to make Shadow Step better without making it a “TP in front of ennemy, OS them” ability.
WAIT. I came up with a Shadowstep rework once… Hold on.

shadow step definitely needs a change, but I like wraith form how it is
May i add my shadowstep “Rework” to this discussion?
You can say no, of course.
Sure, go ahead.
I need something better for it…
Make it make his body invincible on the entering end. Reduce the range of the exit end. Give reaper 1.5-2 seconds to teleport or it goes on cooldown.
Well the problem with current wraith form is that (at least in “lower” ranks of plat and below, dunno bout higher) it’s used as a gap closer. That you can’t escape.
You just see your death coming, invicible. No escape.
This is from a thread about ten days old, so… i’ll just quote it here:
I’m no Reaper main, but… Here’s how i would fix Shadowstep.
Idk if something similar has been suggested before, but… here goes:
Can be cast fluidly while moving or in mid air, still locks onto a location, and teleports the player from point A to point B.
( Not map points… From one location, to the other )
Animation completely overhauled: Upon casting shadowstep, Reaper dissolves into smoke, and darts off in the direction he is teleporting in… Even conforming to map geometry… ( Would not be easy to see, and thus, inconsequential as he’s teleporting anyways, and would be relatively hard to follow. )
From the eyes of an enemy player, it would Look similar to a more visual Moira fade, But… To the player themselves, it would act like a teleport.
( Since he wouldn’t be able to be damaged anyways, and would simply be an animation following behind his moving from point A to point B. )
And last but not least, the cooldown could be changed, if the fluid nature made it too Powerful of an ability.
( Could you imagine? )
And he needs to SHUT HIS FACE When Casting it.
Oh, and with this version he Might Actually be genuinely a bit scary to fight again.
Please provide feedback if you like this idea… I love this kind of debate!

Oo, a rework, I like it. But it’s going to need a long cooldown if it’s better fade.
On Reaper

My goal was to make it look like fade, but function a Bit differently.
(Apparently they are the same tech, but different versions? Ask moira. )
Might have to reread it a few times myself to understand my writing. X3
Never heard that phrase before, sorry. I just copy n paste. Oh wait, you mean that line thing, don’t you?

I just edited the OP with the new Shadow Step.
What what think ?
Hmm… that is heavily debatable.
(I prefer mine, for obviously Extremely biased reasons. )
If it functioned correctly, then i wouldn’t complain.
