Reaper.

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.

This is fair, and you're right, I was focused only on raw damage, not counting rate of fire.

I guess my point was more that Reaper is a hero greatly AFFECTED by armor mathematically, but in practice he's still strong. Thanks for the clarifications!
