Who is the best hero and why is it Reaper?

XSI · Post by **XSI** » Wed Aug 03, 2016 5:44 am #200559

Reaper is shit

Edgelord can't do much of anything except flank people and maybe take out one guy before he gets shot in the face with real guns

Well, yes. He does have an ult that does that

Just like Dva, or a good hanzo. A good Genji.
Actually, it's probably easier to count the ones who have shit ults

Luke Cox · Post by **Luke Cox** » Wed Aug 03, 2016 5:53 am #200563

Dva's is less about murder and more about getting people away from the objective. Hanzo's is made of two giant glowing neon dragons and fairly easy to dodge if you pay attention. Genji's actually isn't that good imo since he's totally vulnerable during it. If Reaper is smart with his (dropping down from a ledge into the enemy team and pressing q on landing is best), you're dead before you know what's happening. I will admit that there are a lot of terrible Reapers, but he's terrifying if you know what you're doing. I usually average 15-20 kills and 4 deaths.

You'd be the first to not suck at him that I've seen then

Usually reapers try to walk up to people and shoot them in the face. Sure, he's got high damage, but he doesn't have health to deal with tanks like that

Ana's sleep lasts longer, but if the sleeping guy takes any damage at all it's removed

They're getting the "shoot them in the face" part right, but flanking and ambushing are crucial; you need to get the drop on them. Shadowstep is extremely helpful for this, just make sure nobody sees you doing it. He's actually one of the beefiest flankers in the game at 250 health, and wraith form is an incredibly powerful escape tool. Reaper rapes the shit out of nearly every tank in the game, especially Reindhart. This is in part because of their larger hitboxes, and the fact that your shotguns to 140 damage per shot if all the pellets connect, which is insane.

The only heroes that really give me trouble are Tracer, Soldier, Junkrat, and Roadhog.

XSI wrote:Ana's sleep lasts longer, but if the sleeping guy takes any damage at all it's removed

It's one of the best troll ults in the game, being a super long range stun that interrupt many ults.

Davidchan · Post by **Davidchan** » Wed Aug 03, 2016 11:20 am #200578

If you can't aim, play Winston or Reinhardt. One has an autoaim gun that hits multiple people if they group up, the other has a gaint 65 damage hammer that deals damage in an aoe arc infront of you (and apparently can kill you through ice walls.)

Ana's sleep dart is funny, supposedly it wasn't supposed to wear off the second you take damage but if you can aim it (something I've never done properly) it's a great way to remove someone from the fight for a few seconds.

Hanzo is still ludicrously powerful even after hitboxes got tweaked, seems the patch wasn't nearly as big as the ptr made it out to be, that or latency is just a huge part of it now, I was still getting headshotted by Hanzo's who weren't even remotely aiming at my head. That ult is still too good, 200 damage per second in a fat line wider than most objective points from Hanzo to the edge of the map, the fact that it clips through walls and can kill people not even in animation is bad enough, the excessive range and area denial makes it atrocious.

Anonmare · Post by **Anonmare** » Wed Aug 03, 2016 12:37 pm #200589

I remember one Genji on my team who managed to deflect a Hanzo's ult back at him, it was amazing to see.

I play Reaper a bunch, he's my main non-support (my most played hero is Mercy though since Ana came out I usually use her as a healer, as I have quite good aim.)

Most shitty reapers commit the cardinal sin of firing AS FAST AS I CAN GOTTA DEAL DAT DAMAGE and missing half their shots and having to do reapers slow af reload. Hold your fire when you don't have a shot lined up, damnit, your rof is not fast.

Eh, at least D'va ult has a giant flashing exclamation point letting you know where it's coming from and a chance to get the hell out of the way. Funnily enough Roadhog can bite one for the team and chain the meka towards him to save his team (or grif and chain it into his team if he's in the crowd.)

As Reinhardt, I quite often will sacrifice myself to push away a team wiping Mech nuke. It's a shame that it doesn't kill D'Va, otherwise it'd be fun to take her down with it.

Roadhog's ult is a trap for newbies

Only use indoors or near a ledge to push people off, or they'll just kill you ded while you use it
Gotta learn how to use the thing

EndgamerAzari · Thu Aug 04, 2016 9:53 pm

I rarely kill people with it, but it's fun to flank an entire enemy team and use it, so I can scatter them and draw their attention while the rest of my team takes the objective. I also just love the big fat HWAH HAW laugh he does when you use it.

I've had two legendary drops so far, one being Barbarossa Torbjorn (Which looks fucking awful) and the other is Devil Mercy, which is pretty cool. Saving up my e-coins for Stonehardt.

EndgamerAzari · Fri Aug 05, 2016 3:56 pm

I got Zarya's weightlifter skin yesterday! I'll have to learn to play her.

It's pathetic that purely cosmetic things make me want to play the character they're for, but it gets me to try new stuff at least. I'd never have given Symmetra a second glance if I hadn't gotten two victory poses and a highlight intro for her, or tried to learn Winston if I hadn't found the Safari skin.

If you were a good demoknight play Reinhardt, basically the same principal of a ludicrously wide melee attack range and an OP charge that will pretty much kill anyone who isn't you, though the charge has a long distance so avoid cliffs.

Ricotez · Post by **Ricotez** » Fri Aug 12, 2016 11:26 am #202710

Or don't avoid them, there's nothing funnier than charging off a cliff with someone else. If you get the distance just right, you can even fling them off but you stop right at the edge.

Don't think Tracer can blink/warp out of a stun/pin. Though I have noticed she (and reaper) can hit their damage immune button when Roadhog's chain pulls them in before he can fire.

XSI · Post by **XSI** » Fri Aug 12, 2016 6:28 pm #202842

Fun fact
The only reason Roadhog's chain is inescapable death is the 20 tickrate
It turns out 60 tickrate gives everyone a good chance to press their defence abilities like wraithform, ice block, recall, deflect, etc.

That said, I only play roadhog because with the hook+shotgun he isn't completely useless against zenyata's discord orb like some other tanks. Also known as 'this thing will be on you at all times'. He's not so much a tank(Because every team has a zen these days) and more just a defence hero that can occasionally land an insta-kill. But in short range as opposed to widow's long range.
And you can hook genjis after they ult, and their salt is worth it

Davidchan · Post by **Davidchan** » Fri Aug 12, 2016 7:26 pm #202870

Hooking a Genji, Mcree, Reaper or even Pharah when they ult is just hilarous. "Q! I GET POTG--- FUCK!!!" Not sure if Torjborn's ult can be canceled by hooking though.

XSI · Post by **XSI** » Fri Aug 12, 2016 8:29 pm #202891

Not cancelled, but you can hook him and shoot him in the face for about half his health. If your team isn't retarded they'd have shot off the other half of his health by that time

Akkryls · Post by **Akkryls** » Sat Aug 13, 2016 1:37 pm #203116

Apparently they're upping the tick rate to 63hz at some point.
Maybe those stupid roadhog hooks are gonna stop.

XSI · Post by **XSI** » Sat Aug 13, 2016 5:49 pm #203134

Wasn't that only for competitive?

That said, I'd expect them to keep the hooks just because people are used to it and it's roadhog's thing.
Maybe they'll just allow him to shoot a little bit before the hook stun wears off on his target, in which case you still can't escape it
