This might've worked with old Reaper (+ his new weapon spread), where he still consumed souls. That would make him the ultimate all-in character. Now it'd be too OP. Reaper's balance comes from the risk and strategic positioning to get in close, and this would remove that.It isn't cancelled by damage - you can do 99% of a Reaper's health bar before he fades out and he'll complete the shadow step. A stun will do it, though.
My Reaper fix has long just been a mechanical change to Shadow Step. Reaper was always intended to be the anti-Mercy (back when he could consume souls and Mercy couldn't rez a hero whose soul he'd consumed) - so make Shadow Step the dark doppelganger of Guardian Angel.
-cooldown: 8s
-can only be used on a targeted enemy player
-Reaper fades into mist and flies towards the targeted enemy. He cannot be targeted, damaged or affected by CC during this.
-speed and targeting are identical to Guardian Angel, but it cannot be extended via jumps for additional mobility.
-can be cancelled by tapping the button mid-step.
-no moment of vulnerability as he reforms at his destination - he flies in, poof, he's on ya.
Removes all the dumbness of current SS, the ability weakness is its mid-long CD and the fact that its use, like GA, is dictated by the opportunities other players provide. Allows Reaper to safely approach for a gank or ult, or to chase down a fleeing target.
Damn dude I didn't know you were still alive
I'm on PC now if you wanna add me

I feel that Reaper couldn't do his old job, tankbusting, well at all so they buffed that. I would hesitate to give him an assassin role.I thought it was more how he's got the effective range of a Winston and Shadow Step is a useless Kill Me button.
Reaper is almost Bastionesque. If half his team (a speeding Lucio, a pocket Ana, a peeling D.Va) aren't working to support everything he does, he's eff'd. He can't peel you off an ally from 30 yards like a McCree can...
...but he could with a fix to Shadow Step...

Capitalize on and punish mistakes. 5/6 seconds is enough time to kill those tanks if they burn their cool downs poorly. And if they escape, you've prevented them from doing their job of creating spaceHow ya boy gonna' bust tanks when half of them have capital-M mobility? Rein, Orisa, Zarya? Yeah sure. Easy.
Winston / D.Va / Ham? If they let you.
I'd rather have 5 DPS with game sense.Hey, at least you had 2 healers and a tank. Could have been a lot worse.

Nah, I just hadn't heard from you in a while and didn't know how to reach you.Haha. Did you really think I was dead?
Glad you finally ascended! My bnet is UltimaPooh#1193.
shadow step feels awful and no ones liked it since launch

Do you really like it that much???Found a working PS4 code in my steelbook that I got on launch day for the Noire Widowmaker skin! Seems to still be able to redeem!
Gonna try and sell it so that I can get the PC version of the Noire skin. A site has them on sale for 65 dollars. Or just get really lucky and find someone who wants to trade!
Well since I switched from PS4 to my laptop I'm a little miffed that I can't use any of my exclusive skins like Noire, Pink Mercy, Atlantic/Pacific Genji and Tracer etc cause they're all on my PS4. So yeah I really want at least the Noire skin!
That's strange. Noire makes sense as a preorder, but I was fairly certain the others were account wide unlocks. I had Officer D.Va and Oni Genji unlocked already, for example.Well since I switched from PS4 to my laptop I'm a little miffed that I can't use any of my exclusive skins like Noire, Pink Mercy, Atlantic/Pacific Genji and Tracer etc cause they're all on my PS4.

Those two are account wide unlocks. The others aren't unfortunately.That's strange. Noire makes sense as a preorder, but I was fairly certain the others were account wide unlocks. I had Officer D.Va and Oni Genji unlocked already, for example.

I haven't played Overwatch for something like a year and I'm kind of getting back into it. Where the hell do all these Widows come from on console? Widow used to be impossible to play unless you were on mouse and keyboard. Yet there is a pretty sick Widow in every game now. Did people get good? Did they buff her auto aim? Or is everyone playing with a mouse?
Widow got good because of the change in aiming on console. Sure, you'll get the occasional asshole mouse Widow, but she's really viable now on controller.
They fixed how auto aim works and now you can change a setting that chooses between smoother transitions or faster ones for aim ease in i think, basically, aim assist works now
I'm a pretty casual player and would never go near competitive but the impression I get from playing mystery heroes is that Moira is the one that wins games
I can't remember what the setting is called because the add a new one every other week pretty much, but you want Aim Assist Legacy to off.

Moira is definitely solid, and I love playing her, but she's in no way a win button. For example, D.Va can absorb her orbs with her defense matrix, so that just completely shuts down that ability.
Oh wow. Interesting. Is this something I should look into or is this purely something for Widow players? I used to be pretty good with McCree and now I'm doing okay with Ashe as well. Might be interesting if there is a setting I could change to improve aiming.
Yeah I'm purely talking about mystery heroes when you have no control over composition. It's what i spend probably 90% of my time playing
I'm sure it's just me but I find it really difficult to make any kind of decent contribution with wrecking ball, he's the one character I dread being given
Helps all heroes, it improves massively hitscan heroes as it's more consistent than before, iirc the setting is a sloder that goes from 0 to 1 and one side favors projectile and the other hitscan, but since i play lots of different heroes i keep mine at default(0.5)Oh wow. Interesting. Is this something I should look into or is this purely something for Widow players? I used to be pretty good with McCree and now I'm doing okay with Ashe as well. Might be interesting if there is a setting I could change to improve aiming.
Spin to win, baby!Again, I can't remember exactly, but I think aim assist ease in should be close to 0 for projectile heroes, and close to 100 for hitscan.
He's a fairly technical hero: it'd be worth spending time in training to get his movement down. If I'm going to keep it basic, his general gameplan involves using his movement (the grapple hook can get you through some crazy shortcuts: if you know the night market map in Lijang Tower, he can swing outside the map outside of down spawn, and land on the point) to get around the map and flank enemies. You want to swing above them, slam down, then shoot them while they're in the air. You're basically a disruptor: you can just come swinging out from stupid angles, land in their back line, and escape. Don't go engaging by yourself, but if the rest of your team is firing on a Rein shield for example, don't be afraid of swinging behind them to fluster them.
If all else fails though, just grapple to the objective and spin around in circles.
FitzyHere plays a mean Hammond.Yeah I'm purely talking about mystery heroes when you have no control over composition. It's what i spend probably 90% of my time playing

Yeah, aim assist is on by default, as it is for usually every online shooter on console. Note that aim assist in this sense is more to do with slowing down the crosshair when it passes over a target, not like Red Dead where your aim snaps to target closest to the centre of the screen when you ADS.
What does "aim assist legacy" do?I can't remember what the setting is called because the add a new one every other week pretty much, but you want Aim Assist Legacy to off.
What does "aim assist easing" do?I'd leave it on, personally, just drop aim assist easing down to/close to 0 for projectile heroes.
