Just wanted to say thanks for all the support recently on RUclips such as the subs and the likes on the videos and also the follows on Twitch. It really does mean a lot. Now that the reaper guide is done I'll be focusing on getting videos done for members but also i'm going to start doing unranked to gm's again. But once again thanks for everything :)
Ngl finding out this channel and then becoming a part of your Twitch community was one of the best things to happen to me in the past 5 years and I mean It. This was awesome and I hope You are doing blessed, taking a congratulating shot of whiskey for You 😂. Keep It going my man and see You on stream or in the comment section of the next video, keep safe and bless You o7
I think it’s stupid now Reaper can’t wraith out of some ults. They’re basically removing one of the best things about the ability. It’s a get out of ult card, not to mention it’s what wraith is for. To get out of tough situations
I see why but people fail to see that, yeah You were not hit that hard by the ultimate but with Flux and Grav You are as good as dead anyways as You are stuck in place without Wraith, the same goes for Junk trap, that's why I think Tracer and Sombra not being able to do that is b'cuz their abilities change their position on the map, Reaper does not
@@amerhst1201 not even mentioning Reaper couldn't have escaped the ult anyway, They should have just make Moira stay in place like Reaper does, and if They can't aim that's their bad ngl
@@daigonmocs0785 exactly and again Reaper wasn't even able to get out, He was stuck there without a cooldown now, lower ranks just crying b'cuz a character doesn't die after They use a Q on them
This video is really, really good. You can tell that this isn't a hero guide by some generic GM player, but a specific and tailored video by a specialist. The tips were all really good, and I really appreciate you explaining the thinking behind them (such as why to dodge the jq axe).
I just started playing dps, and I chose reaper as my main and started grinding competitive with him and pushed to plat and basically got stuck, these tips are amazing, and I hope they help me push higher. PS: CHOICE IS THE BEST REAPER IN THE WORLD!!!
I really enjoyed that most of the examples were in real games, in real scenarios. I'm starting to pick up Reaper in my rank (low gold), and watching you dominate in T500 is very motivating. Thank you for this excellent video, Choice
The Reaper guide I've been waiting for is finally here 😁 The amount of work you've put into it is amazing, excellent job! ❤ It was fun to see all the clips that made into the video, saw them all in the original ones 😇 Keep up the good work and reap on! Your no1 fan, love ya Reeba 😘
Ngl, when I first encountered one of your vids, I thought you were joking/throwing. I was at a mental state where I wanted to be a better Reaper player and watching you having fun in matches bugged me. Then I realised, you just enjoy to play and not sweating over it. That's when I started to appreciate your content and having fun alongside with you 😊
Haha yeah when it comes to overwatch I don’t really take it that seriously. I won’t purposely throw games but I don’t really sweat the game anymore. I just try to have fun with it
OW1 reeba carried me out of ello hell to high Diamonds, and I stopped playing OW after. You inspired me to play reeba again lol, this speaking as Hanzo and Ana main.
Mercy/Brig, Symmetra and DVA main here, wanted to try a new dps and this was pretty helpful. Recently been doing some of these techs and getting some team kills, thanks! P.S Mercy’s ga (her flex movement ability) has a longer cooldown when she jumps and goes further or super jumps, take advantage of this! ✨
fantastic guide! well explained and edited. only small touch for next time would be to start your explanation during those little hero intros so it's not just quiet for a few seconds.
Hell yeah, had been legitimately waiting for a guide like this and it has arrived Would you consider doing a general gameplay tips video as well? Like positioning/goals for the hero
Anyone watching this now: Reaper is a GREAT pick against Venture - Bait out her shove and kill her; wraith/tp out of her ult, and if she jumps out of the ground, she's so killable.
I genuinely miss the days when Reaper/brawlier gameplay was peak in Overwatch. Reaper feels like the most fitting character designed for the type of game Overwatch SHOULD be. Close range, long duration, attrition fights that took place on the objective like 2cp maps and tested a team's cohesiveness altered by the *potential for a team wipe if you use some clever thinking. I really don't play Overwatch at all anymore, because over the years Blizzard has managed to make the game totally anti fun, with counters, deployables that stop you from playing the game, or snipers that erase you if they ping you in the toe from a whole map away. All the while, you see the clock ticking and everyone is barely creeping forward, especially when a character like Reaper is trying to close gaps. The old caste of characters were built with limitations in mind that made for interesting interactions with skill based outcomes. Regardless of who you picked, you still lasted a while when in the fight. Nowadays, you got characters that will chain you into stuns with 3 second cool downs. Or use 2, 3 healing abilities that stop anything from taking damage. It's just not fun anymore. Some of the most historically broken characters don't "feel" designed for Overwatch, like they operate at entirely different rules and speeds than anyone else.
Look at my boi 😢 MOM, the Reeba guide is out. This was truly amazing I don't know what else to say but that that I'm happy I'm actually playing Reaper correctly but I have 80-90 ms and a brain of a casual as I am low diamond high plat. Also lastly, Zen is actually such a easy pick as He cannot orb You for I think 5 seconds It is after the discord is cleansed, so Zen is easy pickings for now. Have a nice rest of your day or at this instance evening and see You on stream mr. streamer, mr. Reeba, MR. CHOICE 👏👏👏 o7 o7 o7
What a great video, thank you very much for being super detailed and informative! Not a reaper main but always good to watch a great player and learn some new things (and maybe play more Reaper with this knowledge). ❤
Awesome guide! I’d like to add that if you Blossom a genji immediately after he pops blade he’ll be animation locked and killable, provided he’s not Nano’d
So what I learned from this guide is... if the enemy is breathing in your general direction, they've already countered your ult. Jokes aside, some other tips I can think of for Reaper are: -Against Zen in a 1v1, you can now cleanse his discord orb with Wraith since he wont be able to place it back onto you for 7 seconds with his lock out. -Being within 5m of the enemy puts you at a great advantage since that's the zone your most likely to land all of your pellets in while not having to flick wildly from being too close. Playing up against the enemy's hitbox makes it hard for them to hit your head while also making you land more efficient chunks of damage. -If you TP up to widow, make sure to spam jump and left/right strafe before the animation is finished, as it sometimes messes up there shot and lands it into your chest instead of your head. Probably wont work on more experienced players since they'll just tap you the instant your head is visible, but still worth a try if you have to use it.
I'm mostly playing support and tank but whenever i want to play some dps, i always end up picking daddy Reaper. I feel useful for the team and actually making eliminations. My hitscan aim isn't good enough so i'm leaving that to the 2nd dps player lol. Your video is full of great tips, thank you!!
Maybe you're not the best reaper player but you are my favorites reaper player that makes me dare to play reaper. Thanks for the guides and keep making the reaper gameplay videos please ✌
Choice you are my favorite content creator out there. You're the best dude and it's a shame less people recognize it when I call things the same way you call them lol. I can't stop calling hog kraken and it confuses my duos
This guide really helped me quite a lot! But with the recent changes to tanks and the new heroes, is it possible that we get another guide for the reaper after the change?…
Of course they'd release a new character the day after you upload a guide on how to fight every character. Well done regardless. Looking forward to Reaper vs Mauga and future vids!
For Genji, a lot of the times I like to challenge dragon blade with death blossom as he's pretty vulnerable during its start up animation. Even if he is still able to pull the blade out, he'll be forced to deflect as not enough swings could kill me before he dies and even if he deflects and I die in the process, I'm still able to force 2s max off of his ult and give my team time to get away. Of course, the obvious things to avoid is nano blade and the aggressive pushes that do occasionally follow after, and other times I won't challenge blade if we have other ults that could save the team. However, if those instances aren't met, then I'll gladly solo blossom the ninja.
i just started playing overwatch yesterday, and0 the first hero i chose was reaper, because i remember my friend saying he has the same last name as me lol
Hey this is excellent information... but i notice in about 80% of the clips where there's gameplay, these pushes are being done with a healer right behind you and rarely dropping below 80% health. Can we see some gameplay where if you are flanking enemy lines and show us how to manage the 1 v 1s or be effective without a healer with us?
Great video 👍 However, the Sombra Tip is outdated since her rework. She doesn't do increased damage to hacked enemies anymore - they removed that passive. Her virus is only effect you wanna cleanse by wraithing and then you will easily win the 1v1 close up (if she doesn't translocate to escape ofc).
Yeah the second i released it i realised that. Still good to cleanse it with tp though since virus will do more damage. I'm gonna start doing shorts for each new hero too and reworked hero
HUGE reaper guide. though i’d like to ask what’s the general tip for aiming as him. is it better to shoot at characters’ chests and only aim at their heads in a very close distance??
When I started ow2 the only knowledge of reaper I had was that his ult can easily kill anything, and I swear the very first time I used death blossom it was a gold orisa, which to be honest I didn't even know what she was, just that my kill button didn't even do half damage
what i learned here is, you have to kill tanks but healers first and healers are a pain in the ass. got it ah and flying stuff will kill you thanks mate
22:11 litteraly the only one reaper I met in t500 with 100+ game lmao , so kinda true , btw choice my main got unban so say goodbye to shizue for a while 💀
All i k ow when fighting any tanks if you have bad aim one or two misses wont kill. So practice your aim and you can kill them. This is important against dva. If you able to reload after taking her mech out then dva is easy to kill as you got 8 shots to kill her and wraith 5o chwse her down. Coming from a crap but fun having reaper main.

0:23 "now im not saying im the best reaper player there is" 🧢
the guide was incredibly useful. thanks!
After watching this I immediately shot out of masters and straight to rank 1. Thank you Choice for this excellent guide
I love guides that are educational and not just informative, it’s easier to know what to do if I know why I’m doing it
Not only the best reaper guide, but the best hero guide in general.
I just started playing dps, and I chose reaper as my main and started grinding competitive with him and pushed to plat and basically got stuck, these tips are amazing, and I hope they help me push higher. PS: CHOICE IS THE BEST REAPER IN THE WORLD!!!
I really enjoyed that most of the examples were in real games, in real scenarios. I'm starting to pick up Reaper in my rank (low gold), and watching you dominate in T500 is very motivating. Thank you for this excellent video, Choice
Experience with 1 main character is key to getting higher in the ranks
The mad lad finally did it. Good stuff!
The Reaper guide I've been waiting for is finally here 😁 The amount of work you've put into it is amazing, excellent job! ❤ It was fun to see all the clips that made into the video, saw them all in the original ones 😇

Dude going through all your vods to find corresponding situations for each instance is insane work. Hats off to you
I appreciate all the work you put into this. Great tips 👍
OW1 reeba carried me out of ello hell to high Diamonds, and I stopped playing OW after. You inspired me to play reeba again lol, this speaking as Hanzo and Ana main.
YESSSS, CONVERT BACK TO REEBA
Mercy/Brig, Symmetra and DVA main here, wanted to try a new dps and this was pretty helpful. Recently been doing some of these techs and getting some team kills, thanks! P.S Mercy’s ga (her flex movement ability) has a longer cooldown when she jumps and goes further or super jumps, take advantage of this! ✨
ahhhh ty for that :)
now i realize why it took so long! great work choice this is some real quality stuff
Good video. Some great points I strongly agree with. Good stuff brotha man.
The reaper goat of NA
it's also good to note that sticking with your tank and dpsing to win tank fights is a really really easy and effective way to play reaper.
fantastic guide! well explained and edited.
only small touch for next time would be to start your explanation during those little hero intros so it's not just quiet for a few seconds.
NO WAY IS FRY EM UP!
Hell yeah, had been legitimately waiting for a guide like this and it has arrived
Would you consider doing a general gameplay tips video as well? Like positioning/goals for the hero
not rn but 1 day maybe haha
I think his unranked to GM on reaper covers that - quite long but good nonetheless :)
Thank you long time reaper player here coming back to the game. This was very comprehensive.
I’m so greatful for your consistentcy choice. We really appreciate you ❤👍
glad this is finally out mate! the editing and everything turned out really good, definitely worth the wait
FINALLY!! My reaper main heart is happy 🥹
5:11 I may or may not be using the teleport ability and find myself still inside the terra surge ult sometimes. 💀
oh trust that happens to me sometimes too
Happens, everybody is a idiot sometimes
Also is this THE THX from streams?😂
@@G128_cz maybe 😌🌻

KarQ definitely need you for the updated reaper one tip, his old one with spirit is so old, doesn't even have half the heroes 😂😂
This character is a big counter, that character is a big counter, everybody in countering reaper.
You know I watch too much Choice when I recognize 90% of these example clips in the videos.
I also seen many of these, then there were the bot clips XD

i didn’t realize how many characters counter reaper
Ever since 10k this was announced
This is actually a life saver.
Thanks!
ty :) you're too kind
Also for tracer , learn to predict recall, as a reaper if you can predict that, you've got a free shot on a close range tracer sweet❤
Very true
This video made me think. Someone like a dva main. Could make a video like dips for every hero agaist dva. And give the worst advise possible
Been waiting fir this tank you❤❤

I think you forgot to mention that reaper's ult is a sphere and the ult hit box comes from his head
Nice guide and tips but with my 850 hours of Reaper it's useless because I already know all the tricks to do 😅
