Unless you get a jump on her and headshot her multiple times at point blank, she'll freeze you with a tiny bit of health left and then kill you.

I know people say Reaper>Mei but generally I feel like that only happens due to bad meis, not good reapers.

No, that just means that you definitely did not headshot her multiple times.

Hm, weird.
In my experience shes one of the few heroes I despise killing because she'll cryo (though yeah you can headshot the second she comes out of cryo and get a free kill, I just find it annoying because if your wraith isn't up you're SOL on her normal attack)

You can wraith form if you start to slow, mei will never out DPS a reaper normally. Her cryo just sets up a point blank headshot.

Why yes I'd love to kill the Symmetra turrets that are a big nuisance to our team but it's easier said than done when the enemy team is focusing fire on us Mercy

I still think the biggest issue with parts of the community is the players assuming they are beyond doubt the best one on their teams. It's great to discuss tactics and suggest improvements in play but to immediately assume the worst of fellow players is pretty annoying. Of course this player in particular was the only leaver I've run into in like fifteen games too lol

People tilt too easily.

Rank 57 Pharah on my team doesn't switch when getting fucking ruined by 2x Soldiers

Some of these players, man.

Reaper's wrath form us infinitely more annoying than mei's cryo anyway, especially for how much damage he can output.

Reaper can literally two shot Mei without any headshot bonus. Shift also negates any freeze effect immediately.

Close enough to Reaper to freeze him is not a place she wants to be.

FWIW (I think it's because the skill follows tick rate and "shooter is always right unless they use a skill" logic lets you die to attacks unlike a lot of things) freeze/wraith is janky.

Yesterday I got frozen with the wraith icon up for a split second before I was even frozen- my guns were down and I had the shadows on the edge of my screen as I got killed while frozen.

Feels bad.


But noted, stop being scared of meis and trying to strafe like I norm do in matchups to win, kill them faster.

I think Im done with Junkyard's martyrdom grenade drop. This needs to go away.

Its a cheap kill for a character that I feel is kinda overpowered right now. Im definitly in the camp who feels it should be removed, if that camp exists...

bro people literally dont care as long as they get to play what they want, even in comp

this same problem is in dota 2. ull see in the picking phase that you need a support and an offlaner and theyll pick a third hard carry every single time

God fucking damnit!!!!!!!!! First 1 minute of a match I'm going beast mode getting litterally 5 kills and my ult as road hog on king of the hill. Some of the best I've done then my mom calls and I don't awsner because I'm rocking it. She calls again then starts bitching about me having to take carry in this giant thing from her car. Litterally took 20 seconds but hope to fucking late I'm disconnected for being idle :( lost a rank

Are they going to do anything about Hanamura on attack? I'm sure at least 70% of the time the attacking team loses.

You couldn't just rejoin the match?

Calm down, just a game. Also, 20s isn't enough for a d/c, and if it somehow was, you should be good to just rejoin the match?

I'm at the point now with competitive where I don't even know what to do. I can't even get a group now that is capable of taking the first objective. I long for those carefree 50/50 win days before competitive's ranking and matchmaking.

I think your mom is more important than a rank. I had to go idle to help my folks' friends with something and got kicked. It's not a big deal.

Sigh. Any GAF groups I can join up with today? I'm tired of being in random groups where no one takes the objective.

Ranks come and go fast, if you're outplaying your rank you'll be barely deranked every loss and be gaining plenty on wins.

Real life still has to take priority, and I'm fairly certain a forum doesn't want to read posts calling family members bitches for asking for help.


Not trying to be a dick, just saying, it probably isn't the place for it.

Been trying to switch up my hero use. Picked Renny and managed to get the 'escort' trophy!

Protected Torb and his turret on the payload for the whole match. Had a Pharah use her ult from behind my shield too.

I think I like him.

I would never ever call my mom a bitch I just said she was bitching which means she was nagging me to death. I love my mom and would never speak ill of her

On the defence point on Temple of Anubis, me as a Mercy and another player as Solider just wrecked a team of 4 with me buffing and healing him.

I'm so proud of myself right now

Waiting for D.Va and Zen buff to go live. I'm good with D.Va now so it'll be even more fun with her. I wanna be good with Zen but his low health pisses me off so the buff will make me play more aggressive with him.

Reaper is balanced but real dumb. All you need is map awareness and you're effective with him.

I barely play him in quick play but went on a tear yesterday in ranked where i get 50+ kills each match.

I would say all the tanks are preety balanced

Roadhog's stupid ass hook needs to be fixed, if my character is already behind cover, I shouldn't get pulled through a wall. That shit drives me insane.

That's the only thing that's "OP" from tanks, imo.

I used to love Reaper until my MMR got crazy high, now I can't do shit with him.

Speaking of MMR, I played with some of my old WoW guildies the other day and their MMR was noticeably lower. It felt like I was playing a completely different game.

Don't know about Lucio

If you don't have a Lucio on KOTH you basically lose.

True, but he's balanced as a healer, that's just how KOTH works

And this is why I play him

I consistently can quad kill. I dunno why I'd try anyone else :p
why the hell do 90% of reapers not have map awareness

How high do I need to get in ranked before my reaper can't be used? Still getting 3-4 golds and POTG at 60.

On the other side, you can hook a Tracer and she ends up beside you, and it seems like every fucking time I hook Genji he ends up behind me.

His hook is broken both for and against. Probably the most frustrating shit to play with and against in the game right now.
