Paulsen had a fantastic idea for nerfing crossbow, I had a pretty similar idea but never really shared it and didn't have as clear of an idea of how it could work unlike Paulsen (https://www.twitch.tv/videos/336554402?t=01h14m39s fantastic conversation from here). He had some other fantastic ideas to go along with it all in the vod. The problem with the crossbow is that the healing is instantaneous. Every other healing item heals at a rate like the Medigun, dispenser etc. This along with lowering the amount it heals for I reckon would make it a much more balanced weapon without being disgustingly overpowered. Having it heal at the same rate a level 1 dispenser heals at might be a good start.

Instead of loosing a 1v1 with a scout cos they got a lucky arrow shot at them, they would only heal a small amount in the time it took you to reload and shoot, while still retaining the ability for them to retreat and re-heal. It would still keep it usable enough for pocket rollouts etc as well.

Obviously the crossbow needs a nerf, too ingrained in the meta to be banned, and needles are just bad so need a buff (dunno how though).

Just my 2c.

Great video though Nursey.

Have had a bit of a run around.

The water tunnel is very easy to get stuck on randomly and is hard to enter. It needs widening and clipping so that it can be walked into easily for it to work.

Obviously still alpha but needs a few health and ammo packs. A good place for larger ones could be around the water area.

This is a weird corner https://imgur.com/W8OIFuk.
Random overhang https://imgur.com/TwOsYNp.

Point has potential for lots of clipping issues on the top, especially the tiny nipple which will swallow splash. Have you considered being able to cap on top as well like bagel?

An opening here https://imgur.com/IfI9zyZ might be nice. Even better might be to shift over the sewer as well as the corridor https://imgur.com/IcFaDjK.

I felt that all the 2 sides of the rollouts could be better connected, as like viaduct, so that you can change the side you want to go out of if you want.

Here is a small album with some additional images and things that I think could be improved https://imgur.com/a/loPw42Z.

Nice simple geometry which I think has the potential to work well. Keep it up!

This is an open scrim, ozfort. Name in game is Thermite (medic). Many thanks Slin!
