In an attempt to do weapon balance based off of these blog posts

Since engineer has the most weapons that reduce his weaknesses I'll start with him and make more posts later about other classes unless a lot of people think this is retarded.

Pomson 6000
-Remove Uber drain (shouldn't have been added removes or tempers a classes weakness and is horribly unfun)
-Remove cloak drain (shouldn't have been added removes or tempers a classes weakness, and engineer already has multiple weapons to counter his counters)
-revert back to the old damage scale with player penetration, but decrease hit detection i.e. smaller hit box

Frontier Justice
Instead of Crits do Mini Crits
Max of 3 stored Mini Crits
-33% clip size (so a total of 4 shots)
+33% Weapon Switch speed
-10% accuracy

Short Circuit
-Pre-buff stats with -33% lower metal costs.

This is still a direct counter to demo/soldier, but isn't anywhere near as grevious and would have to directly contend with the Wrangler for defensive play, while also not being enough of a shutdown to be used consistently over pistol for aggressive play

Gunslinger
Increase Mini Sentry build cost to 105 Metal.
+15% damage taken from bullets on Sentry

Allows the engineer to still play aggressively but not be able to constantly shit out mini sentries without resupplying for ammo. I'm not fully sure on this one making it 105 might be to much of a nerf to aggressive engineers without doing to much about the actual problem with minis

Wrangler
+0.5s downtime when switching to wrangler (make the weapon less viable in offensive scenarios specifically mini sentries)
+75% firing speed over base (rather than the current 100% increase)

Jag
+20% fire speed (note: this would keep upgrade speed about the same maybe add a small buff specifically to here to make the goal plausible, would repair faster, and upgrade faster)
-Damage repaired per hit: 85 ((stock is 105, current for Jag is 105) (note: so the jag doesn't actually repair faster)
-15HP

Goal I have in mind for the Jag (since it's a pretty bland weapon already) Make full sentry builds more viable in aggressive scenarios without improving the defensive capability engineer is already really good at. The -15HP is to force the engineer to rely more on his buildings rather than his DM ability.

Eureka Effect

With the current stats the weapon is rarely used even in pubs, this weapon is really cool but just simply isn't viable for any form of competition

Upgrade amount per hit: 20 (stock is 25, current for EE is 12) Total hits for upgrade become 10 rather than 16 for EE.
Damage repaired per hit: 85 (stock is 105, current for EE is 50)

Widowmaker
Can't be crit boosted
No Random crits (for pubs)

Rescue Ranger
Repairs 50 per hit (currently 75)
Can not repair buildings being constructed

Panic Attack
I don't have enough experience with or against this weapon to know

Weapons that are currently fine
Southern Hospitality

Can I petition you to add this to some of the criteria for weapon balance?

Specifically the 2 blog posts.

actually my largest complaint is that it has a lot of mouse buttons that I wouldn't use and are in places I can accidently press them instead of another button I would want to. That and the sensor in this is actually weaker than the g400s and is only worth mentioning cause of the "Fusion Engine™" to get 10m/s

Half tempted to buy a g303 or g502, gut it and put it into a g400 shell

idk about 120fps, you'd probably get over 60, but I can't be sure

Short answer: yes

Long Answer: Just how bad are you wanting to play TF2 on either the shittiest lowest settings or deal with low FPS?

Yeah I kinda derped and didn't cancel my subscription, and wouldn't mind backing up as Scout/Roamer/Pocket (Demo or Medic as well if you're desperate) in Open.

2 Blog posts by Robin related to this.

Basically he made the statement that class balance is more about the weaknesses rather than the strengths of a given class. Which was forgotten about apparently in May 2009 with Sniper vs Spy (Razorback and Dead Ringer)

Idk much about specific kinds of textures, but I think that has to do with some of the water related commands.

And that's why Valve doesn't want to current 6s meta to survive.

Yeah but the entire point of this is to make the game overall more balanced. So some weapons will be improved and others nerfed (and thus classes get better/worse) and ideally we should eventually see a rather dynamic game.

"2 Medics might have the advantage of more up time for ubers, but medics are useless in non uber fights. So that composition would be punished heavily in transition plays."

1st part is right, 2nd part is wrong. The heals from 2 medics would be insane in non-uber fights.

Also with the GRU and Displinary Action unbanned heavy becomes a shit ton more viable. Could you imagine 2 medics healing a heavy?

The max utility of Medic that would make since is 3 for 6 person team and that's assuming their's basically 3 ultiduo teams per team. More than likely the optimal utilization is going to be 2.

if it's no class limits, this is going to be rough.

I play on DX 8.1 and I streamed yesterday

Could you imagine playing a turtle team of 2 Engineers, 2 Heavies, 1 Demo, and 1 Medic?
