Why Do OWL Pros Don't Play Reaper? | Overwatch Pros Explain ft. TviQ - Florida Mayhem

There are many heroes to choose from in Overwatch offering a wide variety of playstyles, but there are unfortunately a handful of characters that do not see much play at the professional level.

Reaper was given a set of buffs in the recent patch to the game so we ask Florida Mayhem DPS TviQ to his thoughts on the hero and if there was a possibility of seeing the shotgun user become a more frequent pick in the Overwatch League and if not, what could be done to improve his viability?

Outside of the Overwatch League, Reaper's buffs seem to have been successful as we've been seeing an increase in both play rate and win rate since the last patch.
