Strange Overwatch glitch traps Reaper across the map after teleporting

Reaper’s teleport ability is a great way to cover ground in Overwatch, but it does no good when it gets you trapped inside a wall.

For the most part, Overwatch runs pretty well which is why when glitches happen, it’s all the more eye-opening.

Reaper has the power to be one of the most devastating DPS heroes in the game when he’s in the right hands. His high mobility also makes him a great choice for players who want to contest a point while their team is waiting to respawn.

Sometimes Reaper’s teleport ability doesn’t go where you want it to.

On the verge of losing the round, Reddit user ShinWho tried to do just this and contest while he waited for backup, however, his teleport ability had other ideas.

When the player tried to teleport, the game actually moved Reaper to a random spot on the map and trapped him there, effectively losing the round for his team.
