I have never disliked a character in any game as much as I do Reaper. Let's see:
Incredibly bland design,
Brain-dead gameplay experience,
Annoying to play against,
Shotguns are lame in general,
Pair ^ with teleportation and invincibility,
The most cringy voice lines I've ever heard,
"DIE, DIE, DIE!",
And lastly, [b]2edgy4me.[/b]
And yet, despite all of this, there's at least one Reaper in [i]every single game I play.[/i] I'm honestly considering offing myself at this point, I can't handle all this edge...

I really like him, actually. His design is unique in a game dominated by bright colors and cheery characters. Of course, you could use the "lol edgy twelve year old argument," but I happen to like his rather dark character, as well as his haunting backstory. Even the mask (which seems over the top) makes sense when you realize that he is literally a human trapped in the brink of death with his particles literally being disassembled and reassembled at a constant pace. As for gameplay, I enjoy playing as Reaper very much. Aside from Roadhog, there's no real shotgun character in Overwatch. Besides, Roadhog's 4 shots per mag doesn't resonate with my preferred playstyle. Additionally, I have found that Reaper's weapons work most effectively at a medium range rather than an ultra close. As for teleport and VAPE mode, not only do they match the character's lore, they also make his position as a flanker much more solid
