Wraith form chat

I know that this happened a while ago but ive only just started playing Reaper again.

Wraith form SHOULD be dropping mag nade and be able to be used to get out of grav and all that. Its actually a really bad thing now. If it was like Morias fade, in the sense you have no idea where i am going to be it would be 100% better. Please fix up Reaper

you mean like a cleanse effect. would be cool if they did that and yea sucks he telegraphs what he is doing most of the time heh. maybe keep the telegraph but make it faster?

anyways a lot of reapers use wraith form to close the gap on you, one of them did it to me as widow but didnt see my grapple and i got him in the head. i usually do that as ashe as well… poor reaper

Just a FYI but fade doesn’t work under those conditions either.

That is the most annoying part. I used to be able to outplay competent Cassidy. Now even the goobers who just finished watching their first Wanted stream can rock my world.

I know this but i am saying i would still like wraith form to be like fade. So you dont know where i am going to be. Reaper isnt in a good spot and hasnt been for a long time and needs changes.

And thats it. Reaper needs to be up close but there are better heroes to do that job. Why bring a reaper when you can have a s76 Mccree Hanzo even

I’d rather see shadow step get some love. Reaper is already so reliant on wraith form.

There is a lot of stuff they need to do tbh

Shadow Step has been bad since like… 2016. They also need to give it to Sym and quadruple her beam damage.

Cause, you know, teams are getting that much value out of TP, right?

You just have to wraith before he throws nade

This favor the shooter nonsense and latency make it quite difficult to time. And good Cassidy know that you know and hold nade regardless. The fan the hammer buff makes rushing him suicide even if he is alone and out of position. It’s not bueno.

Let’s be honest, they absolutely are. A team that knows how to play around a Sym to dive is an absolute nightmare because they start the dive with way more resources. If you set it up right, you pretty much guarantee the dive will work AND no one will die doing it.

The issue with Sym is that she requires a ton of coordination to work and has no solo potential, not that she’s completely garbage.

All 2 above GM, perhaps.

Cool.

Me:
“Hey guys I set TP” *pings TP… *uses the 321 countdown or waits for the tank to engage
My team:
“I don’t have interact bound and I never will.”
*dies, multiple times, until we lose.

And this isn’t even in Bronze, this is most of the playerbase.

In 5v5/OW2 she’s garbage for like 99.9+% of players. I guess I could play scrims, but I’m too bitter/LFG should exist.

You’re not wrong that the vast majority can’t use her, I don’t disagree at all. But that’s a coordination issue, not a balance one. It’s like trying to make a sabo build work in solo queue dbd. That’s almost never gonna work because randoms suck.

Massive disagree when most people will never, ever, ever learn how to coordinate with her. As many Sym players have been saying, make TP personal and buff her to the moon. Most of us actually just want Sym 2.0 back, personally I’m willing to negotiate on the ult/let her keep her current one.

This analogy is lost on an(this) OW player.

You mean, you want Reaper to be invisible during Wraith form? Cuz that would be kinda crazy.

Wraith form into the middle of the enemy team, they can’t even see you, and pop ult immediately (and still die lmao)

Pretty much. I would like that

Most people will never learn how to play Tracer. Does that make Tracer weak? Of course not lol

I mean, I’d be fine with that. But I think it’d be more of a nerf than a buff for the really good Sym players.

Lol sorry. A sabo build in dbd is basically a perk/item build that allows you to sabotage hooks. It’s designed around making the killer drop survivors they want to hook.

Hopefully that helps. Idk how to explain dbd to someone that hasn’t played it :joy:

Lol, what? Tracer doesn’t need her team to carry. You yourself said Sym TP strats OP or w/e. The difference is the rest of her kit is held back because 4 other people using one part of it shouldn’t be how she’s balanced, and again, for gain by some infinitesimal % of players.

Needs of the many etc.

What’s an item? What’s a hook? What’s dropping? Who’s the killer?

Write for the audience you have (or a general one), not the one you hope for.

I posted this elsewhere, but why not show the enemy team an expanding cloud of black mist during wraith form? If the radius of the circular cloud expanded at Reaper’s max speed during wraith form, it would encompass every position where Reaper could appear at the end of the move. And of course Reaper himself would not be visible during this move.

That way people would know, “as long as I’m in this cloud he can get me”, but they wouldn’t be able to easily track him within that area.

Agreed. Will take some time though, but I heard they were talking about a potential rework.
