The Reaper rework

This is from a thread about ten days old, so… i’ll just quote it here:

Please provide feedback if you like this idea… I love this kind of debate! :grin:

… That gif gives me an idea.
That would fit with the rest of my rework.
Gimme a sec.

How do I strike accross text ?

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.

so all he needs is a zen orb on him and he can perma survive on wraith i guess ?

Good point.
Lemme edit that real quick.

I mean… i am personally against the HP Drain, since… anything that isn’t an enemy in this game that drains Hp will have a Heavy negative impact to the reaper’s playstyle.
(Playstyle is Different for all players, but similar across them)

Well, I just thought that since he has his lifesteal, we could use that health as a ressource.
Both the abilities are very powerfull, need a drawback.

That is true…

Also, i just want it to resemble what was in the Recall short. X3

That’s not enough hp drain at all and a too low cooldown. 50-75 hp and an 8-10 second cooldown is fair, he’ll get hp back super quick.

theres a huge issue with 15 hp/s life drain. Cuz anyone who plays reaper knows that most of us use it when we are hit badly.

So get in -> bang bang bang -> wraith out -> heal -> come back

That has always been what reapers meant to do.

With this you cannot go wraith on low hp cuz you would die.

So maybe the life drain only happens if he’s above 50% health ?

I’m not sure if you’re serious or not…


Hmm…
it’s true that the 2 abilities are very similar the way I put them right there.
I could use one as an espace and the other as an engage…
Lemme think about it.

Oh yes I am. He’d have an in and an out, vampiricy to counter act the drain, and the ability to fade right behind anyone’s head to get him started on that.

The new strat: fade in for an insta headshot, bang until they ded, wraith out. Because the new shadow step is the engage, it can and should have a higher drain rate.

Also, right now as it stands with your rework points.

Shadow Step is just a better version of wraith form with a slightly higher CD ?

I feel like the 2 abilities need to be unique from one another.

I mean in live, Shadow Step is generally the get in position ability while wraith is generally the get out ability.

There are exceptions but you get what i say.
