This has not been my experience. Since Reaper is actually faster than Domi in most situations they can either escape or just run the Domis down. Reapers also often have some kind of escort.

I mean, if the Reaper player makes a tactical or strategic error they can lose pretty bad.

As the numbers scale up... if you see your opponent massing Domi against your mass Reaper and you don't build one of the many, many things that counter Domi, see "strategic error" above. This is what it comes down to really; even if Domi beats Reaper, the margin of error you have with controlling the Domis is so low that anything else in the equation can wreck Domi, whereas Reaper doesn't really care.

Similarly
Ravager
is
hit-and-miss
but
can
definitely
work
in
the
right
situation.
You
need
to
engage
in
such
a
way
that
the
Reapers
can't
just
kill
a
few
Ravagers
then
retreat
to
repair.

Low numbers of Reaper can be beaten by Scorcher but this is dicey when the reaperball gets bigger and/or it has escorts.
