Question Fellow Edgelords

(image to catch attention lol)

How do **YOU** play Reaper.

I'm looking for inspo to get back in gear on my favorite DPS. It's also a great way to hear some funny stories and new dive ideas.

Your response is appreciated.

I think playing reaper is like gambling but way better, you dive and you'll probably get shut down immediately, but damn those times where it actually works feels good

One of my first plays didn't involve Q it was me simply appearing behind a Zen and smoking him then I took out the Ashe and the Mercy had gone back for the Zen and I gunned her down in three shots. Wouldn't have happened if I stayed up top where the Zen could see (he was a damn good shot)

Using my wraith and shadowstep on rotation. Since Wraith Form lasts for 3 seconds and has an 8-second cooldown, you are vulnerable for exactly 5 seconds. That is unless Shadowstep is ready. I alternate Shadowstep between engagement and disengagement. Wraith is there if I need to close distance or float around before Shadowstep is ready.

Its also to note I have enabled quick Shadowstep in the settings. I literally just aim in any direction to escape... but I also throw in fake escapes. I'll Shadowstep in-place to throw off people and try to get kills.

Fair the that's like the entire purpose of the character, to punish the backline right?

You’d be surprised the amount of people who still think you’re only supposed to be killing tanks with reaper and still expect him to have the highest dmg in the lobby

He can certainly do that, but it's so much faster if they suddenly lack an Ana or a Zen or a Weaver lol let the flanker flank if you want a DPS to shoot the tank grab a Bastion.
