I agree with QQ - time lost building them usually is the problem. Also you can just do drops with 8 marines / 4 marauders on what ever you want to snip and they would still work plus they are already available in your army. Also does not hurt your build. Toss could just warp 3-4 stalkers and your reapers need to back out(dependes on numbers but still not effective). I think they can have a build time upgrade for reapers to make them viable - like the thing they did with pheonix - cant make them OP units outright - might as well add an upgrade.

Lol huge necropost. But i think you missed one of the main points. When you send a large reaper hit-squad, say to the 4th, you can take out the warping in pylons before the warp in finishes, and then you have ages to do what you want. And 12 reapers rape a cannon or 2 so hard that there would have to be a lot invested in defending it already.
