Overwatch: Ranking All 25 Characters From Worst To Best

15. Reaper

A hero who's announcement of his ultimate ability is met with a shriek from enemy players, Reaper packs one of the strongest punches of any hero when it comes to pure damage per second.

Duel-wielding shotguns, the character is terrifying at close range, being able to annihilate tanks with concentrated fire and taking out weaker characters with only a couple of shots.

And while hearing "Die! Die! Die!" over and over again can get grating, throwing his ultimate into a group of enemies can still wipe out a whole opposing team and make for an amazing play of the game.

There's also fun to be had in his purposefully grim-dark attire, with Reaper's charm being that he's almost a parody of every edgy video game protagonist players thought up when they were a kid.
