You know what those heroes are? Squishy. You know what those heroes can’t do? Heal themselves by doing damage. Reaper has 250hp and self healing bullets.

AH yes… this old chestnut… The very limited damage he heals. Please get off the pot
I think perhaps you just need to get good.

The point is to brazenly run into the enemy team, kill one, then when the enemy turns to focus you, you wraith and spam, “Pathetic! Pathetic! Pathetic!”
Hopefully your team has arrived by then and you finish the annihilation of the enemy.
Basing off your icon, you play a fair amount of Ana. Imagine if all nade did was heal 55 hp to yourself( but you had to throw it to use it) and sleep had a range of 5m before it didnt work. Nade would be alright but pretty weak and sleep would be near useless. That is reaper’s abilities in a nutshell with wraith form being the nade. His self heal is negligible especially with his lowered damage per shot. a genji reflecting orb all the time would heal more than reaper can per match. If you gave junkerqueen his heal per dps ratio, she would die very fast even though all of her dps gives a bleed back to her.
Wraith makes you invincible intangible to enemys teloads your gun and makes you 50% faster. Wraith is an amazing ability
Reaper is long overdue some changes but sadly the developers don’t seem to think so

Yeah it’s the same with Junkrat trap now, you can’t use it in trap. I think that’s so stupid. You should be able to trade abilities for abilities. I understand Grav because that’s an ult, but imo no normal ability should override another ability like that. Proper balance is trading out abilities. Moira should be able to fade in trap again as well as reaper wraith.
For mag nade though you can still trade abilities, you have to predict the nade and wraith before it hits you.
He’s been pretty mid-low teir for a while and really only works well with a Zarya. He can be meta basically only when Zarya is meta. Even then, Bastion does his job but significantly better and more consistently. Torb is basically a better shotgunner now too and has a better ult. Reaper is redundant and only worth playing if his aesthetic appeals to you. Or if the enemy Winston is somehow doing gods work and you need both DPS to counter him.

I changed it for you. Its mediocre at best my dude. Great speed boost… you can watch where is going and well… and, you, as a Genji Weeb main would know where he is a re-engage with him. So what was the point of me wraith walking if you can see where i am going and re-engage.
If it still removed the movement imparing removal, bar grav, then yes i would agree. I dont agree its a good ability and any Reaper worth their salt would tell you the same thing.
No, that was the flashbang. The new version is specially designed to be both less fun to use and more annoying to play against.
To show them how angy you are
For advance Reapers:
A dueling tool
An escape method
Sometimes a chasing tool
For newb Reapers:
“Okay I’m dead soon”
“Inconsistent screaming”
“Ghfkdkodugbgnkgignwwwwwww”
He can’t wraith when stuck with cassidy bomb because they reworked it to block movement and escape abilities on whoever it sticks to. It was designed mostly for hyper mobile heroes like tracer and wrecking ball, reaper was just caught in the crossfire due to needing consistency
I dunno about that one. Moira and Reaper can be characters that lower ranks struggle to deal with, and I’d say that the devs intentionally made Mag screw over both characters to provide an obvious counter-pick for these folk. It would have been easy to keep Wraith and Fade as they were previously, the devs went out of their way to make the change.
