Why is roadhog a better dps than reaper, wtf ?

General Discussion

Roadhog is stronger than reaper, he can do 300 dmg per shot (max dmg with headshot) from close AND medium range while reaper does 280 dmg (max dmg with headshot) per shot and ONLY at close range.
Then roadhog has a way bigger hp pool while doing more dmg than reaper, his hook replaces teleport and take a breather replaces wraith.
The only downside of roadhog is his big hitbox and he cannot get to hogh ground as fast.
And honestly, roadhog can go flanking, he’s better equiped except for teleport and repear’s teleports would be noisier.
And reaper is just not rewarded enough for getting close to enemies, its allot of effort widowmaker doesn’t even need to get close to do dmg and has more dmg than him, death blossom, wraith and passive regen (is perfect) are the only big things in his kit.
Blizzard, please fix this weird thing were when u wanna play reaper, a roadhog is just better at almost anything.
Reaper is not enough rewarded for the efforts to get close or get unnoticed, he can be CC’d and focused so fast and in higher ranks, snipers just dominate him so much even at medium close range, they just need to turn they’re head and boom, headshot.

  • Roadhog is twice the size, which means he takes far more damage far more easily.
  • Reaper has Wraith Form
  • Reaper has higher self healing potential.
  • As much as the ability sucks, Reaper can teleport.

Reaper can teleport into people’s houses, whereas Roadhog needs to knock. Reaper wins.

He has to knock the door? Dude he isn’t Soldier 76, no knock knock. Hog just blows it up or hooks you out the window.

A good reaper will wreck teams, just like a good roadhog can wreck teams, you can’t really compare the two given ones a tank / dps and the other is pure DPS.

It comes down to playing the characters as they where designed.

Just wanted to mention that reaper has both a higher fire rate, lower spread and a greater ammo capacity, and as someone mentioned a smaller hitbox: with roadhog being a tank and all.

And a reaper can be an extremely rewarding hero, if played well, if you play with your team and get close with a rein zarya comp then he can carry from high damage output on tanks.

thats true, but at higher ranks, he won’t do anything until close up and teams will know how to play around that, but thx, i hadn’t seen the higher fire rate
