Played the beta for a few days but got tired of it, will try it out again to see how this works out. Mass reaper builds incoming, some poor players are about to suffer

The ability is neat, but given its short cast range and the uselessness of the reaper at any other aspect means that it wont be used in the late game.

i think the ability itself is strong enough in late game fights as a crowd control for reapers to be used. imagine hitting even 1-2 bombs on a melee army approaching your army, like all chargezealots going from synced attack into a complete mess where half of them are flying around (losing charge probably) while other half is dying off and then the remainders go in desynced. if you compare it to a fungal its not very different in my opinion and i think it will be used in late game if it has the current stats.

all bombs exploding same time is probably connected with the fact that only 1 of the bombs deal damage, was hard to judge from this shitty ass quality though but im pretty sure reapers had well over half hp after tanking 3 bombs

nice vid regardless thx

The goal with the Reaper specifically should be to get to a situation where Reapers continue to be used as they are now in the early game (that is, in small numbers, with good micro interactions, balanced), but are also now used in conjunction with other units at later stages of the game.

Just making the Reaper stronger doesn't really accomplish that; it's more likely to just make people mass tons of Reapers early game like early WoL--and we all know how fun that was. There needs to be a useful thing that Reapers do that's mainly useful together with the rest of your army. This looks like at least a good start.

Some additional info: when the bomb goes off, units are invulnerable until they hit the ground. If you throw a large number of bombs at the same time, all units will be damaged and knocked back with the effect of one bomb (the first one in the series of thrown bombs). This means, to be super effective, you need to chain-throw bombs every 1,5 seconds or so, but not sure if its viable for this kind of stuff because units get spread obviously.
