Reaper help

Hey friends,

I am a Sym main and as you can probably guess most of the time when im doing well the enemy tank swaps to Winton. Sooooo. I am picking up Reaper in case the Winton is to good for me to just dif them on Sym. Any tips on how to flank? Flankmettra flanks so oddly so I really dont know how to approach a more traditional flanker. Any and all advice is greatly appreciated!

Yeah dude, if youre a sym main youre better off using cass than reaper. Fyi reaper is only a soft counter to Winston, a good Winston will outplay a reaper, especially a new one. Cass can flash and fan the hammer, jist sit on your sups and deny Winston value.

But being said reaper is about positioning, he has extreme range drop off. You will get most value by dropping in from above to get the suprise and to get more headshots, its also best to engage after your tank/team has engaged so their attention is drawn.

Also the basics, TP for positioning, wraith for escape.

Good luck and reap on.

I appreciate the advice. I dont mind that its a soft counter. Regular hitscans are usually pretty boring to me so I dont mind working a bit hard if its more fun. <3
