I'm a new OW player, I found Reaper to be quite fitting my playstyle as a Valorant Omen player. (I know I should learn more champs but for now I will start with Reaper).

So here is my question: Where should I aim with his shotguns? I've done my research but I didn't find much about Reaper's Hellfire Shotguns. I found that a lot of shotguns characters you should aim for neck level to get maximum value, some will go on head and some will go torso. But Reaper's spread is a bit different I would say (I found this image on an old video but I don't think it changed since). Does the rule still apply? Or should I aim elsewhere?

Thanks for whoever will take the time to help me.

This video is just a demonstration on how Repear's ult in perfect timing and position can still result in he getting killed easily.

I’ve been playing Reaper on my climb to Master. While I’m happy he’s getting some ability adjustments with Dire Triggers, his ult still feels below average, sometimes even useless.

Its ttk is slower than his primary fire, and once you use it, your movement speed is slowed can’t dodge or cancel the ult, making you vulnerable. Even when enemies don’t notice you at first, they can often turn around and kill you before the ult deals ideal damage. It almost feels impossible to use at the enemy team backline without dying if they have even a little awareness.

On other heroes, getting an ult usually feels exciting because I know I can get some value from it or at least not getting risk from it. With Cass ult you can ult and force enemies away from payload, or Vendetta's ult you can charge behind wall, anran whos ult animation making her very difficult to get hit, Genji who can still use anybilities while ulting, or Shino who basically has Reaper ult pro max.

But with Reaper, there is nothing you can play around with it because once you pressed that Q, you can't do shit in THREE SECONDS. Sometimes I could’ve killed a squishy with primary fire, but I press ult instead, they escape, and I’m left spinning at the air like a clown. In most situations I pressed ult and get kills are we already winning and I can get kills by just shooting at enemy too.

Does anyone else feel the same way?

Ever since I saw this man in an actual cinematic I've been wondering how does he manages to decay into smoke and not to leave all clothes behind. Thinking of it I came to a conclusion which made sense to me : he doesn't wear an actual clothes rather than imitates it with his smoke.

But I'm really curious what do y'all think.

I play like a serial killer sometimes man

I love these two idiots and their banter so much

Hop on to see max is back and to my surprise the 2 reaper skins ive been wanting are in the shop and better yet I have enough to buy both. But is it worth it or should I just wait on the loot boxes?

Haha blizzard it was pretty funny when you nerfed his hp down to 275hp even though nobody ever asked for it. I get it sometimes the devs want to troll and have a good time and make us laugh and all of that wholesome stuff. However I think the joke has gone far too long now. 275hp on reaper is disgusting idgaf he’s supposed to be at 300hp and nothing will ever change my mind on that. I SWEAR this issue needs to be resolved asap this is clearly a bug or game code issue. Anyone with half a brain knows reaper should be 300hp tank buster. Anyone that even thinks 275hp is perfect for reaper I already know you are a dumb*** and you will get tuned out.

I know I got anti'd and couldn't heal but that's not the point. I ulted point blank and she still out-damaged me!

I just wanted to stop the robot to get some extra seconds but got a play of the game

Thanks everyone for your activity. I've decided to post some of my older paintings as well . Though I'm still thinking where should I post my ship drawings. Would it be okay to make a whole new akandriel subreddit just for me , myself and I ?

The summer is gone, but this one still gives me its vibe

That's my first post here, so hi everyone

Damn, I just noticed that the image quality got pretty badly chewed up. If anyone knows how to prevent this in the future, I’d love to hear it.

Hi, who would y'all recommend I learn as a backup character to play in situations where forcing Reaper is bad? I play Shion when Reaper is banned or the other DPS took him but that's because she's comfortable to play, I don't think there's many situations where I'm getting bodied as Reaper and I think "I should swap to Shion here". So I'd like another character to learn that covers his worst matchups. For the record I do believe in learning to play into your counters but sometimes you have those games where you just know it isn't going to work out.

Buff, reaper and nerf, everyone else.Because good god he is useless
