Hello, so I’ve noticed since Season 1, Day 1Reaper to current Reaper, not much has changed. Other than getting Soul Orbs on killing a player being swapped for his lifesteal shotgun. Nothing really changed. Hopefully they actually nerf him. I dont know what can be done. Maybe he keeps his shotgun, but for every missed bullet (if a bullet doesnt hit an enemy) he takes damage, either equal to what he’d do to an enemy or half of what he’d do. If he hits an enemy, he doesn’t lifesteal them, but can regan health if he can snack on a soul orb.
I dont know, it just feels like Reaper can two shot a Zarya from full. Ive played tank after tank and Reaper just shreds them.

Omg you pressed LMB without a enemy in front of you? Sry your dead.
What if genji deflects and doesn’t hit any thing will he damage himself as well?
Srsly reaper still is pretty much useless in terms of usability.
The only thing really changed is that he can keep himself alive to enter the fight at all.
Before he was just a walking respawn simulation.
Btw I would recommend to not fight him as a tank.
He can finally so eh do his job, kill tanks.
You wouldn’t 1v1 a genji/tracer as mercy would you? (flanker gets healed)
Or 1v1 a widow behind a shield as zen.
They really should just put an end to all this BS and force 2 2 2 meta already it simplify things balance wise to cos now you balance around 2 2 2 instead of silly goats meta.

Its weird I know, a tank cant win a 1v1 fight anymore against what is supposed to be their counter. Something has to be done.

Imo a full heath tank should win against a reaper with 10% hp. Right now, reaper is pretty much impossible to kill in these kinds of situations.
Exaggeration. I can still kill Reaper with Roadhog just fine and if I screw up my combo I can always retreat.
Once again I’ll point out that tanks are supposed to be close to their teammates and combined effort kills Reaper. Unless you believe in those people who say he wins 1vs3s and 1vs4s in this case - get good.
Pros say that Reaper is fine, so the chance of him getting fixed is close to zero. He needs a revert.
He’s meant to counter tanks, he isn’t meant to be able to 3v1 whoever he wants and escape without damage.
I can 3v1 weaker players as a Roadhog.
Why would they nerf reaper? He’s a throw pick. The recent buff was a nice little 20% and doesn’t change the reason he’s not been meta for season after season, same as mercy. It’s psychological. I found that when I tell people I have my heal orb on them they’re more aggressive and do more with the exact same amount of healing. Reaper has always done huge damage and always had hefty self-heal after rework.
The only dps heroes that have ever been nerfed (aside from a short time around release) have been the snipers and doomfist, heroes that guarantee you a win if you have more than the enemy team. Every other dps has been getting buffs, because there’s currently no reason to pick anyone but snipers or doomfist. Reaper can’t touch snipers or doomfist, and they all one-shot him with the least risk, commitment, skill and effort of any dps hero aside from maybe flash fth.
Both reaper and df take multiple zen orbs to the head and sit at full health, but one flies in, one-shots (even tanks) and flies out. Even has a better ult. Snipers don’t even need to fly in and out. They bypass reaper’s self-heal entirely.

The key is to hit him first then quickly do the combo. You need to be fast, a quick left click then the hook, left click and melee.
no, because il will hit you in the same time and he will restore full hp.
Umm the game is not some dueling arena where both players start at the same distance with clear field of view of each other. You are totally free to hit and combo him before he realizes what is going on. Further, Reaper’s shotguns have a clear wind up time, he can shoot you then you can do all this before he gets off the second shot.
Reaper is a joke, his only a noob killer.
The soul mechanic was much better then life seal…
Because you have a lot of ways to block his life steal.
When it was soul reaping reaper, he use to stack soul orbs on point for the final push.
Not to mention that with souls you use to heal without needing to do damage. All it takes is 1 shield/def matrix/bubble/ana nade/CC to remove the healing now.
Rock, Paper, Reaper.
Like all heroes he has counters that kill him still pretty easily. A tracer for example will still kill him 10/10.
I see people crying about him, but still picking hog or winston who simply feed him as hell.
In low ranks he is pretty strong now, as you can just run into the croud, keep one eye on your health, put your nose in a tanks ass and hold leftclick.
No matter what they do, blizz can never balance a hero from Bronze to GM.
