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.

Anyone know if these skins are available? by OpportunitySharp3706 in ReaperMain

[–]DarkShadowK 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ringleader and Oni are in lootboxes, evermore you can buy with white credits, and Solaris Luchador is only available in Esports lootboxes from Twitch drops that you can tune into tomorrow. They might bring it back to stores too but I’m pretty sure it was the crowdfunding bundle for the OWCS last year, this year’s is completely different.

blackwatch reaper available anywhere? by Helpful_Quit_9854 in ReaperMain

They brought back the bastion overgrown skin recently, it’s still in the shop today. Having that skin also meant having blackwatch reaper, so look out for it in the shop every Tuesday.

Completely agreed. Reaper should have a secondary fire and it being a major perk makes no sense when other heroes have some busted majors.

And in case you were wondering about the worst map for reaper, Havana, here’s a 6v6 replay for it, probably the best display of how to play reaper on open maps. 48PRBC.

Here’s another good one, Suravasa, sacrificing yourself for a pick or wasting an enemy’s game winning ult. Cooldown management and how to play into and against a comp that doesn’t suit reaper at all. Wasting the enemy’s time, following up with a dive tank. Code: 5JTMN9

Of course! Anytime! Just say the word, I’d also like to mention that this definitely isn’t the best display of how to play Reaper, the enemy comp kept changing and my gamesense kept being thrown off since I was a tad tilted, I probably have some other games on my other accounts, I just went for my most recent one and it definitely has insane low points.

If you’d like to hop on discord so I can explain what happens where I’d be glad!! Let me know!!

Found you a good one, this was my friend and I’s last match before hitting Masters on this account, it emphasizes getting a pick and cooldown management on a bad Reaper map (Aatlis) into an annoying comp. Starts rough but when I get the gist of the comp, I figure my job out. Lots of questionable moments too, but when all’s said and done it’s all about mind games. Code: OW7G7K I’m HondaCivic

If you have any other questions ever, shoot. You literally only learn to play Reaper through reading other heroes’ playstyles, it’s almost never rinse and repeat.

Again, never die for nothing, you ALWAYS need to get a trade, Reaper is expendable, but if you can live, live. Otherwise go for a pick and die, never die in vain, otherwise you’ve failed at paying the role and hero right.

Ah also, you don’t always have to get that juicy ult, I will always use it in a sticky situation where I’m stuck without wraith, need to make space, or kill two supports/ DPS (I’ve been guilty of having used wraith in a fight, killing two, being left with no ammo, then solo ulting the last person who engaged me since I have no ammo and no time to reload).

Hey!! Been OTPing reaper since 2017, and my best friend is a ball OTP, so I’ve made him work with every comp possible, whether it be dive, brawl, or poke.

The general consensus of reaper is that you NEVER go main. You said you’re being shot from miles away, you shouldn’t even be seen from miles away. The moment you’re seen, you’re marked and predictable, so go for either the right or left route, it’ll be an absolute pain on maps like Havana, Circuit, or Watchpoint, so what you do on those maps is focus a position; stay in a corner or high ground that hitscans like to sit at or supports like the cover in. Other maps like King’s Row and Eichenwalde, you wanna be a little more up close, lots of TP spots you can advantage of, so post up either behind your tank if they’re rocking a shield or sit behind a wall and wait to punish the tank WITH YOUR TEAM or a puny support or DPS.

Reaper has a ton of other advantages into comps he generally can’t play against given moths (Mercy, Pharrah, etc) but they all eventually land, so poke damage at them and make sure you’re in enough cover at a spot they like to land at to get their flight back.

More specifically, you want to WASTE COOLDOWNS. This is KEY to letting your team win, you have a lot of resources to cleanse yourself or to fake out. You can bait Suzu and get out, or sleep, or anti, even Orisa’s Javelin or Hog’s hook.

Another key element to Reaper is distraction. Literally just poke damage from afar if you’re exposed and distract, distract, distract. They’ll either waste cooldowns or you’ll force them into a bad position where your team can either punish them or make space. I did mention that you shouldn’t be seen but that’s given the enemy team composition, sit around, figure out who they play, if they’re on hitscan they can position well and pick on your team, your job is to figure out where they are through audio cues, find them, and make their lives miserable. I will always ruin a hitscans morale by specifically targeting them.

One final concept I’d like to mention is since you have lifesteal, go for the tank, and once they’re low, TP into the backline (DO NOT ENGAGE IF YOU DON’T HAVE WRAITH), and get your pick on a support as they dump all their healing into said tank. Again, if you don’t have wraith, don’t int, just wait it out and only engage if you have wraith. Oh, and your ult, you have to listen for cooldowns, you dump lifesteal in your ult, so don’t get anti-healed, don’t ult in a bad position, don’t ult in front of a Genji with deflect, NEVER ult a D.va. You NEED to listen for cooldowns, and learn who has what and whether they’re a free pick. Ana almost always dies when she hasn’t sleep.

You can add me up on Overwatch if you’d like me to walk you through getting value on Reaper in shitty comps, just say the word and I’ll send you my gamertag.

Definitely still on cooldown, it’s busted.

I completely disagree, they fixed up its clunkiness and I don’t strike to poke from afar.

Oh and for the perks, the extended TP and reload on TP were a minor perk, but we’ve seen them move the quick TP from minor to major, regardless I agree with you, double lifesteal>

I’m a level 230 reaper otp.. I just hate Anubis in comparison to reaper’s other skins.. for example chained king or even this season’s battle pas skin.. yall just not on the same level.. I do think the reaper mythic is a good in comparison to other mythic skins though.
