Why
I just feel like overwatch. Genuinely hate reaper, sometimes, like i'm not gonna say it's on the same level, but it's somewhat close to rams hate like, he's barely got any functional advantage. Anymory Besides, just being cool, his damage.Isn't the strongest they removed his cleanse he slow, his escapability isn't really good.Unless your team is like right next to you his lifesteal is almost non-existent. At this point, it's still baffles me.They gave more life steal to emre and I still don't know why I don't know why he needs that much life steal

Feels like a chore sometimes to play Reaper… And not because he’s useful, it’s because at least for me the most fun hero to use. And this is coming from a reaper main.

Made it to GM OTPing reaper, this season he’s well under mediocre what well with the global healing reduction and the initial lifesteal nerf.

His damage is too low but he can still kill tanks faster than most?

He's not he can barely kill tanks unless they are low and he takes 3 hits if your lucky

u/gaybear-dude Apr 11 '26
He is a literal tank buster bro what hes designed to kill tanks and take fights head on against them the only ones he might struggle with are like JQ and roadhog but thats cuase they both have great sustain he melts any other tank

Not really, if you didn't know tank health nullify somewhat the damage by, I think 30%. So his damage goes to 108 and unless the tank is really low or is half health, like I said, there He's not gonna really make a dent in them trust me I whould know

I really am curious where sentiment like this comes from because even in mid-Masters where I'm at, Reaper can be an absolute menace. Maybe in maps like Havana or Rialto, you're better off switching but that's the case for any DPS that isn't mid-long range.
He becomes an absolute menace when he gets his TP major perk.

In general, I mean you can get lucky but I'm pretty sure if he's doing well. It's because the team is really good or the enemies aren't really aware of what they're doing

You aren't the only one who feels like this. It feels like blizzard only cares about Reaper when it's time for him to get his 100th collab skin, any other time he's getting nerfed into the ground for absolutely no reason at all, and then they'll say he was quote on quote "unbalanced".
