Dire Triggers has increased Reaper’s strengths across many matchups and added more lethality to his kit. Combined with his survivability, this pushes him past intended durability and kill potential. Reducing his health lowers his survivability while preserving the lethality Dire Triggers provides.
Reaper’s sustain from his passive leads to high survivability in close-range duels. A slight reduction in lifesteal maintains his durability while reducing his self-healing reliability in extended engagements.
