I don't care about the meta, I care about the class's actual designs. And as designed, Reaper is very strong. It's very durable, has a flexible initiation tool that can be used to jump back to safety, good team value with Crest, and the best initiation/counter-initiation tool in the game with its LB.

Meta doesn't matter. You can pretty easily see a class's values and functions without looking at it in a meta environment.
