What does "overpowered" mean, then, if it doesn't mean "overpowered"?

Stock weapons are taken as references. If something is always better than stock weapons, it means it's too powerful, therefore it's overpowered.

No Über gain, no passive reload.

It's better than stock. It annihilates it in almost all situations.

Send a scout to backcap with bonk with no effort, force players to chase him/go back, get an advantage push in.

Only the healing was nerfed, the ability to pick up building is still there and requires less metal than before. That's the thing about it, not only the healing.

It's still as good: push last with an uber, place stickies under the sentry just to see it go away, wasting the uber and giving the engie a free "get out of jail" card. As far as I know, Cow Mangler doesn't do anything to the rescue ranger.

Thanks for showing what's the plague splitting the competitive community. A lot of people that are new to competitive get turned down because of people like you. HL isn't as good as 6s, but people have the right to play it, and enjoy it. Just because it's HL doesn't invalidate all my points.

You can nerf the crossbow while still keeping its abilities.

Tomislav > Stock in most situations

It's common knowledge that Bonk is OP

Rescue ranger is a free get ouf of jail card

I already explained for the Razorback but got proven wrong by a screenshot

You can conserve the variety even while nerfing the crossbow a bit, keeping the core concept that makes it amazing.

It passed the "viable" state a long time ago, now it's just too good.

Direct Hit is not so good because of that splash damage reduction. But I agree, mini-crits on airshots are a bit ridiculous.

It's a hard direct counter to one of the biggest sniper's counters, spy, which is also a very weak class countered by simple awareness. It forces the spy to use his primary, and die most of the time in a competitive setting.

It's pretty useless in pubs but broken everywhere else.

Teams play around sniper, and he gets a lot of heals. The spy is dead before he can fire his second shot.

You also took your time to look up my profile? Gosh. Of course I play steel HL, I can't commit to anything else, I just play HL with friends. So, because I play spy in a low level HL team, all my points are invalidated?

The razorback isn't even effective at low levels.

You sure are good at argumenting. If you want to show me I'm wrong, well go ahead. The razorback is a pretty controversial item. But don't just throw a screenshot of my profile to say "LUL HL NOOB", give actual points, you know.

And maybe remove the Über on hit?

I mean it's a lot more powerful compared to the other melee weapons (except the Vita-Saw). It's pretty much essential.

I'll delete it anyway, its balance state is pretty controversial.

Yeah, I wanted to put the crossbow at first, but hesitated. The problem is that the crossbow is too good in its core concept. I can maybe think of some nerfs though, but nothing that gets to the point where the other primaries are viable.

But yeah, Übersaw it's pretty obvious and I don't know how I missed that.

Thanks!

How would you improve it?

I'm just planning on making a big video explaining OP unlocks, and my suggestions to fix them. Also why class limits are needed for competitive play. It may be obvious to you, but I'm just trying to educate people like redditors, or players who have little to no competitive experience.

About the Crit-a-Cola, apparently it's perfectly fine and the competitive whitelists are made by salty players

It removes his pistol choice. it removes a sandman combo. it removes normal bonk. so that he takes more damage. and deals more damage. Pyro is a "useless class" in the meta of 6s but given a crit scout like that it could suddenly become usfull air blasting him away. ruining his mobility. and dealong a ton of damage as he takes more.
There is a reason I disagree with the community competitive scene my self. and that is part of it. the meta has developed with good reason but only because they banned weapons that weren't OP in the first place. only slowed down the game (which a lot of weapons actually didn't) because they countered some of the power classes too well or something like that.

I am witnessing r/tf2 saying that the reserve shooter is a balanced sidegrade.

They're also ignoring and furiously downvoting everything that eliott says, and he's right. This is saddening.

I just got into a MM game with a party, the game disconnected me from the server for no reason and I got an instaban (7 days)

Thanks Valve.
