Ammm it’s not an issue totally I just want to say that you should give the reaper a buff because he really can’t do much dmg and the only way to do good dmg by being too close to the enemy and if u tp everyone in the map can here your tp and he got countered easily by long distance character so I recommend you guys that you should give reaper buff because he really needs it so he can be playable again because he is not playable right now like you buffed junkerqueen and rodhog give that shotgun character buff too he really deserve it thats my point of view after all maybe you agree or not i respect that

He is meant as a close range hero. Shotguns have a good spread but are meant as a rather short range weapon to really be useful. A reinhardt or winston in your face is as good as dead with those.
Tp is good to do a long flank behind the enemy or to get to higher ground.
The fade ability cleanses everything (anti nade, junkerqueen, virus, fire, freeze) and can avoid all ults in the game when timed right, and you have several seconds of it.
Reaper’s only balancing factor is that he is short range and his ult is very difficult to pull off successfully.
If he was any stronger we’d have a return of the “beyblade meta”
Yep i agree with you but remember everytime you play him you may have that luckly hanzo or camping widow and if u tried to tp and flank i swear everyone can hear u because of the sound of tp but ur pov is respected and yep his ult is balanced from my pov too👍🏻
That really depends on the widow, I’ve snuk up on several successfully.
It comes down to how easily the widow spooks and looses their nerve.
Also, don’t teleport into their face. A little further away or just behind them. You’d be surprised how few widows actually hear that. (At least below plat rank you can sneak up on 89% of widows with any hero)
Hanzo on the other hand is harder to sneak up on as he doesn’t need to scope, so he sees around himself more easily. You’d be better off not trying to sneak up on him at all. Get the supports or defend your own supports against possible flankers like sombra as the bullet spread makes reaper really good at finding her.
I dont think they would allow a buff to be present considering they are experimenting with the whole roadhog and sombra thing.
But i agree reaper isnt as fearful as he once was at the moment.
Ty for your pov actually iam master but i like playing him and fr it’s very tough playing reaper there but thanks for the advices if you have any other ideas feel free to tell me and @godvirk Yeah that’s what iam talking about back then he considered as threat but now nah i feel he cannot fear people like old times but still he needs buff so make that badass character back to be feared ( my pov )
Oof, if i had known you’re at masters i would have just shut my mouth XD
I can understand that he’s more difficult to get proper value out of at such a high rank, but down here where most people continuously forget to look for flankers despite having died to them several times, he’s pretty darn annoying and deadly even now.
Despite pinging him lurking behind corners, people still ask where the reaper ult came from. Or he just keeps teleporting to the exact same position again and again and my team gets killed by the same tactic over and over again. (Or maybe it’s just an awareness issue. I admit it has happened to me too at times)
So down here he definitely doesn’t need a buff as he’s reasonably easy to pick up and play well.
Ig you are right and it’s fine no need to shut ur mouth xd i just want reaper to be feared again cuz like i said its really tough to play with him in master
I understand that, having lived through every mercy nerf XD
Sometimes our favourites just aren’t viable in higher ranks, and while sad, it means that the game is not a complete headache to play.
I would try to buff his survivability in a different way a notch or two. Experiment Wraith Form having a tiny bit of built in healing. Not like Ice Block levels, but a little bit. Since upping his lifesteal tends to backfire and he can be healed by teammates in Wraith Form. Maybe slightly up the speed of Wraith Form. Maybe while you’re at it, make his flanking game a little better with a slightly extended Shadow Step range. If he still sucks with a few tiny nudges. try something bigger then.
Another small thing to push him more in a minor way could be upping his quick melee damage like Zenyatta, only without the knockback. (Although it would be funny to get boop kills with Reaper ngl.)
Oh, and even if it wouldn’t make too much sense; I’d like a visual fix. Death Blossom has far more vertical range than it looks like it does. Feeling akin to Ramattra’s Vortex. Like, extend the black smoke higher in the air or something to better reflect how high it goes so it isn’t rendered useless on targets like Pharah and Echo.
Or just nerf healing overall. Don’t buff people.
I heard someone was giving advice for making reaper more fun like instead that shadow in his ult is just for looking cool make it reflect dmg that get in that smoke or make his warith with more speed so he or can get tiny amount of heal while in wraith form so ig ur pov right from my pov ofc
They could at least try to make things more interesting by making more meta heroes at the same time.
Whenever i play quickplay now its basically roadhog and sombra playing for highlights.
I dont really care what type of hero but i just want to variety to be there.
I’m pretty sure people will get tired of these two soon. The roadhog change has only been live for a week now. People will hopefully start picking him a little less from now on.
He has pretty okay survivability though, and he’s still something of a hook combo assassin to any squishy.
We’ll keep seeing him around when tanks feel like they’re either not being healed enough, or that the dps aren’t killing the enemy squishies fast ehough.
Yep iam seeing rodhog and sym alot especially rod junkrat combo trap its fr deadly u cant escape as any character getting hit by rod and junk trap is the worst nightmare 
Reaper is actually VERY strong at the moment. I see him in most games tbh.
I wouldn’t buff him too much. Maybe a small buff like when he tps he gets an instant reload like wraith form.
