There are a lot of subtleties about reaper a dedicated person has to learn, let alone the typical casual. For example with the lb when versing a solo target, if at all possible positioning yourself with them between you and a wall so they run into it and your combo can start quicker vs chasing em down. I think many are sitting on their abilities too long, waiting for just that perfect moment instead of just spamming.

Technically, I feel of all the melees, reaper COULD be the best. It has good utility in all areas, but paired with itty bitty nip nip jobs like dnc and brd, verses say, mnk and drg, it has to work 2-3 times as hard for decent damage. It’s getting better, but for now, it still feels too much a reflection of the team. If team is super aggressive, rpr will do damn good things. If team is a bunch of lil. . .timid individuals, it’s gonna suffer.
