Think about it.
Hanzo gets a major rework.
Widow is overpowered in general.
Sniper meta rolls in with Briggite.
GOATs meta is the hard counter to sniper meta.
Armor gets nerfed, Reaper gets buffed.
Snipers counter Reaper.
Sniper meta returns.
You seeing what I’m seeing?
all the reaper buffs do is make reaper a more viable pick ,a more viable pick at all ranks- the armor nerfs also are a buff id surmise for all char
They make reaper a viable pick, true.
However, they also make snipers even more favorable.
Well, considering that at top rank snipers kill almost everything in one shot any way, don’t see the armour nerfs are that big of a deal, the people who benefit the most from armour nerfs would be people who are hitting the targets the most.
The armour nerfs probably don’t even effect head shots.
a sniper can counter anything in game, reaper is no exception, but the reality is that reaper can effectively counter a sniper .
Snipers can be countered a lot, if a sniper isn’t snipeing + getting in shots /kills then they are a useless team mate, and while a sniper is snipeing they are in tunnel vision( ashe and hanzo are not quite as bad as widow), at higher end games with great comms getting a sniper possibly might be harder, but even then snipeing a lot of times requires them to be positioned out of there team mates ranges.
Snipeing in this game at least is still one of the , if not, the most skilled in game .
Sure , almost anybody can jump on a widowmaker and get a few kills in a game, but only the most skilled can consistently make shots/ kills
Decent reaper players who get a drop on widow makers would end them in 1 shot easy, widow makers can also be flanked with literally any char, the amount of widows + hanzos ive flanked and then gunned down in sentry mode at near point blank is funny.
Depending on the sniper also and situation person char etc, many widows can be taken out in a straight up gun battle.
A decent mcree can pop off any widow maker in 1 shot, if the sniper is in there range.
Been playing Mystery Heroes today, Reaper is very clearly overpowered. Heroes don’t all need to have high pick rates, some characters should be niche and BALANCED.
Reaper still has a low pick rate, just like Doomfist, Sym and Torb. They need to get a lot better but thanks to low rank they can’t because they will just delete low ranks. And tbh can you blame the heroes if players don’t want to learn how to play vs them and just play solo and midelessly at low rank.
nothing is balanced in mystery heroes?
in a real game, literally just pick mcree, widow, hanzo, pharah, junkrat, or dva?
Everything is balanced in Mystery Heroes, it’s by far the best game mode.
