Why do the devs hate reaper?

I mean seriously? More life-steal buffs? We’ve been telling you issues with reaper for ages and you still don’t understand that that has really never been the issue? Come on guys. He’s a brawl character that can’t brawl. He’s a tank counter that cant fight tanks. He’s a GOATs counter that can’t fight goats. What the hell is up guys? Most people don’t even talk about him anymore. He is barely played in higher elos more than bastion. If you think mercy is weak I suggest you try out reaper for a few comp games after getting the hang of him. And now even the new hero has plenty of was to counter him. I mean. He can do pretty much anything to counter his ult. So in all this I kinda just feel like the life steal buffs were to shut us up rather than actually fix his awful state. What do you guys think? I just feel like reaper is getting ignored at this point from a balance standpoint.

Yeah for real. I’ve tried to keep up to date with that kind of thing but if I missed something I wanna know.

It makes sense now that Baptiste is a hero. He will need that extra damage and life steal to actually kill something.

Even in lower ranks.

They wanted reaper to kill goats. Punishing grouping up. They want to add more punishing fir grouping up. Some said torbs ult needs to go straight ark and splash under the ground, that will kill goats pretty easy

UPDATE: They’ve nerfed him. Screw me I guess.
