Reaper

Terrorist

Hello! My comments and explanations will be written in this color.

The terrorist organisation Talon has sent the mercenary Reaper, formerly known as Gabriel Reyes, into the Nexus, to hunt down the members of Overwatch and seize control of this mysterious realm.

Reaper is a short range Assassin, who, like Tychus, excels at drilling through heroes with bigger health pools, dealing heavy percentage based damage. While he is much less effective on longer ranges, his abilities allow him to get in and out of fights with ease, as well as provide him with great survivability.

Unlike Tracer, Reaper is not able to auto attack while moving.

HP: somewhere around Tychus' health pool, probably lower because his kit allows him to overextend
Uses mana as a resource for his costly abilities
Attack speed: medium
