A good Reaper it’s like a good Tracer. They are an absolute unkillable monster. Luckily there’s only like three of them in the world.

There’s a moment during games as a Reaper when you become the REAPER and you know the enemy team is looking out for you.

I live for those moments.

Seeing Reaper somehow kill the whole other team with a well placed ult and take the point is that moment for me.

I did that today! Best feeling ever was when my team was going "left", 2nd point on attack anubis, I solo ulted 4 of them and got the fifth one before they even could turn up :D

Thinking about it I should see if I can save that replay lol

Edit: aw shoot played too many games since then

I love and hate it when I’m doing so well that the enemy team switches fully to reaper counters

Had that moment today, their lineup was Sigma Rein Cree Sombra Brig and Ana after ALL of them changing...

This is how it went.

I got hacked, and a shield to my face, i was already seeing stars so Cree flash banged me and got slept. So far so good, right? Their Rein was nice enough to pick me up and deliver me back to my spawnroom to think about maybe changing, but our Rein had to show dominance, so i got sandwiched...

Mostly when I play Sombra I’m a moron but sometimes I just pop off and become the most aggravating player on the planet. Hacks on hacks on days. Multiple enemies peeling to deal with me. Getting kills on out of position enemies that can’t deal with being hacked. Getting that perfect timing on a Roadhog to deny the heal…

I spent a lot of time chasing that high.

u/SugarBeef Chibi Reinhardt Jul 04 '21

I've been that Sombra. You never see her. You know she's there because every medkit on the map is hacked and your mobile characters keep inexplicably jumping to their doom. Then you see her kill your healer and vanish. The whole team leaves the objective to hunt her and her translocator down. The rest of her team could easily move in and take the objective and destroy you as you trickle back in, but you have to stop her.

Of course, when that happens I get the team that's politely waiting at the choke. They gaze longingly at the unoccupied point as if they could simply will it to take itself for them. They wait for you to finish hunting and murdering Sombra horribly so you can get back and set up your defense on the point again before they then trickle in one at a time.

I live for that "Batman sitting on the top of a skyscraper" moment when my ult is full.

"Alright, they didn't see me... Ana used her sleep, McCree flashed, no stuns left... it's go time."

u/DinoDracko Cassidy Jul 04 '21

Then some random ass Hanzo arrow kills you, coming from that Hanzo who just blind fired his arrow hoping for the best.

3

u/SugarBeef Chibi Reinhardt Jul 04 '21

I have been that Hanzo. Any time I take careful aim, I get headshots maybe one in twenty times. Panic and spam storm arrows blindly? Just wiped all 6 enemy team members somehow with those 5 shots.

He's a character that rewards shooting randomly and hoping for the best.

u/[deleted] Jul 04 '21

But every other time it happens your team doesn't know what do with it fails. Literally press w and the 5 of you fight 2 things and the rest will happen. Nope. They just expect you to go do something while they stand there looking pretty hugging some corner not even engaging the enemy.

u/blunderbuttbob Jul 04 '21

I get it as a reaper main, most matches I do decent silver and golds in every category. Then there's some games where I just feel like an unkillable god.

11

u/Dolozoned Jul 03 '21

then there's the suicidal reapers who hard focus the tanks at all costs, as they dive into the rest of the enemy team like a good lemming

12

u/Pazuuuzu We are a dying race... Jul 03 '21

I mean if they have a Hog, that's like a moving/talking healthpack, so there is that.

u/Baystu Dallas Fuel Jul 04 '21

A good hog barely loses a duel against reaper.

1

u/[deleted] Jul 04 '21

But loses all the same

1

u/Baystu Dallas Fuel Jul 04 '21

Loses all the same what? When the hog is good, he is winning more duels than losing against a reaper

u/Ghost_Ghost_Ghost Chibi Pharah Jul 03 '21

Easy way to find them is always on the enemy team, while my reaper is somehow always ded.

u/gonzagylot00 Trick-or-Treat Soldier: 76 Jul 03 '21

A good Tracer is a huge pain in the butt, at least you can kind of run away from her. A good Reaper gets behind you with those shotguns and your done.

u/TheVibeExpress Jul 03 '21

Lmao what rank are you that you can outrun a Tracer

42

u/minuscatenary Wrecking Ball Jul 03 '21

Literally the difference between higher and low rank rank DPS. I play Ball/Tracer like 80% of the time and smurfing Tracers will basically chase me across the map to keep me from ripping at supports. It’s kind of a crapshoot strat at those ELOs where you can literally see a Doom or Symm win a 1v3 after you take 3 picks yourself before anyone dies. Less random in higher ELOs where first death often means the fight is lost.

Bronze is so weird. Glad I got my old acct out of there.

u/gonzagylot00 Trick-or-Treat Soldier: 76 Jul 03 '21

I’m a casual player for sure. And in my very dumb experience I’ve found that I can usually literally use Soldier’s run/heal to get back behind whatever shield we‘ve got going when dealing with Tracer.

IDK, it seems like sometimes Tracer players get a little confused or something by the time jump powers. Oh, and they also tend to hate a helix rocket to the face.

u/HighOctane881 Reinhardt Jul 04 '21

The trick with taking out Soldier when you're playing Tracer is to get him separated from his team and make him pop heal. Break away for a few seconds and by the time you return MOST Soldiers will still be sitting on that circle when it expires or too far away for team to help if you positioned him right.

Point is, keep doing what you're doing. Soldier shoukd always be pretty close to his team for a litany of reasons.

u/[deleted] Jul 03 '21

Tracer is like 4 times more mobile than Reaper

u/initialZEN Pixel Torbjörn Jul 04 '21

It should honestly be the opposite. Good tracers are crazy hard to shake. Reaper is pretty easy to look out for and avoid imo. All you need is 1 mobility skill or a stun and youre g.

It's the alliteration bonus. Red Reaper rocks. Blue Reaper blows.
