like seriously why is it taking so long, its clear hes garbage and they are either gonna revert the “buffs” or give him some actual buffs, theres no reason they are leaving reaper in this state for this long
There haven’t been any patches or experimental cards run since his change. Unfortunately, Blizzard just takes their time with this stuff.
I mean a small sentence from Blizzards side would help so much…
“Yes, we noticed the problems, will look at him again”
Yeah, and he wasn’t even that good before the change and now he is even worse
It hasnt even been 2 weeks, they arent gonna hotfix revert him even if they choose to go the revert route, it’d still take a couple weeks more than now due to going through the experimental card process
Have you even seen this team communicating effectively or reverting a bad change? They needed two bloody blizzcons to actually explain what OW2 is because they couldn’t get it right the first time. That’s the level.
I expect nothing from them at this point so I don’t get disappointed.
The balance team of this game is absolutely preposterous. I wish they hired professional people and not amateurs.
This is assuming they view it as a problem
I mean there are many threads, like a lot threads.
Yeah, I know and while that is true I just meant the devs might just not be of the same opinion to make such a comment. Also, consider the thousands of posts on Mercy & Dva over the years and that didn’t get much results. Honestly, they will most likely just hold off on such things and come up with some rework or balance idea later on, if not stall for the sequel. And they don’t ever seem to like making any messages that could seemingly admit to making any sort of error or mistakes, particularly regarding balance.
After a little bit im starting to like this new Reaper, if you can aim for the head is rewarding, something like an executioner, right now the only thing that can be hard is to flank, but not impossible
Cause they don’t care what you think.
They call my thrower and other stuff, when I try to play him.
Because they didn’t change him to make him more balanced, they changed him to help tank players.
They succeeded in what they wanted to do, Reaper himself is VERY secondary.
They don’t understand the pain, choose Reaper as main and mostly of the time wll be only rage, but sometimes you know that the game is saved thanks to you
people parroting a opinion doesn’t mean it’s worth jack all.
Reaper does feel overly weak to me but they pretty much always leave it around four weeks, minimum. It works the other way, too. When Roadhog and Genji were overbuffed they had four/six weeks respectively to frag out. It’s to make absolutely sure. People flipped out about Recoil:76 being overpowered in the first couple of weeks when his stats spiked, but look at him now.
McCree on the other hand got buffed pretty fast again.
Not all in the same patch, like per experimental.
I doubt they will revert it
It’s true that happened in subsequent Experimentals, but they each took three or four weeks each time. McCree got the fire rate nerf at the end of August, then the roll buff and Flash revert nearish the end of September, and then 225 HP at the end of October.
We might get an Experimental this week that sees Reaper getting 6 dmg/pellet, but it’d be more in line if happened next week instead. Obviously I hope I’m wrong, but it’d be par for the course.
Not enough outcry
Not enough rage
Need more rage to pass that threshold. Just like roadhog got gutted in less than 2 weeks and brig insta nerfed after her experimental with 225 hp
