thank mr skeltal

Pardon my ignorance, but what happens if ESL fails? Are there any terrible consequences?

I realized I have nothing constructive to say, but I also realized this movie isn't constructive to humanity, so I think I can still release this comment.

I feel like the last point in gorge has the height but the point is extremely unsafe to go near because of its elevation. The defending team could just spam from the top. The common pub engineer spot is also pretty much impossible to destroy without an uber. Maybe that could be changed?

I only see one true option.

NA DM servers are constantly empty. Is MGE better or at least a good substitute?

If you don't like the changes, SEND FEEDBACK TO VALVE. They are listening, as shown by many of these balances.

I have only 750 hours in tf2, and just about no skill. However, from my limited amount of time in the game, I have a few thoughts on the crossbow.

1. Medics can't just sit back and spam arrows during a fight- they won't be in the line of fire
   
2. The one disadvantage of the crossbow now is having the target stand still for easy arrows. Maybe this could be taken advantage of in a balance update (that won't happen), but it's nice to wish for.
   
3. Maybe the crossbow could also be affected by crit heals- if you deal 300 damage to a soldier, it won't be in vain, and you can take advantage of the damage like if they had used any other medigun

Also, on the topic of banning everything else- ban vaccinator. The only way for it to be a sidegrade for last holds at all is to nerf it to oblivion, or to make the uber disadvantage from switching mediguns too great
