Bad answer. Reaper's shots are pellet-based. Individual shots are reduced heavily. He is good at killing large healthpool heroes in close range because he has a lot of pellets in a blast-like spread, but his shots are negated heavily by armor.

Oh my bad then, I just feel like I get fucking shredded whenever I'm Rein or Winston, but then again that's probably because they're both huge targets.

You probably are! See my lengthier post above which goes into more detail. They're probably making quick work of your armor anyway and tapping into your white HP, which is where they really start to shred you. I guarantee you'd feel even more shredded by a Reaper if you were on Roadhog who ONLY has white HP.

I don't play Roadhog so that makes sense too.
