#6 Thoughts on the Vaccinator? in TF2 General Discussion

I know it has a big reputation as a "troll" or "terrible" weapon but I think the vaccinator could be very good once it's utilized correctly.

Buff Speed V. Almost Constant Ubers
A lot of people consider the buff speed to be a negative but it actually lends to the pocket-sponge-centric gameplay the vacc requires. If you're using the weapon (in my opinion) correctly your pocket should be walking through chokes and eating damage almost constantly. Something a lot of people dont realize is that the vaccinator is building even while you're "ubered," therefore having your pocket below max hp is actually beneficially during the exchanges as each bar you use actually contributes .5 of a bar over the course of the pop. I find that you can usually keep your pocket at around 175 or so as long as you manage your switches well.

Weaknesses
However the vaccinator also has some huge weaknesses. For example, if you're sitting around stalemating with the vaccinator you're screwed because of the awful buff speed of your flank vs theirs. I think this is why many people view the vacc as bad because they are trying to play the same way waiting for a full 4 bars or not managing building efficiently. Furthermore the vaccinator is godawful at mid so timing the switch becomes a concern.

Pushing with Vacc
Where I feel the vaccinator really shines is during off uber pushes where you can abuse the extremely short build times. While many people wait for 4 bars to push I find that this is not necessary as simply building 2 or 3 bars (10-15 seconds) gives you the ability to walk your pocket through choke and eat all of the 75% resisted explosive spam/stickies. This not only wastes an absurd amount of the enemy team's ammoclip, it also opens up the choke and creates a large amount of space for your team to abuse. Many people would say that cleanup post uber would be more difficult due to the buffs and I agree, however if you think of a push like a miniature 5 second full advantage solo where the other combo players have almost nothing loaded and are destroyed hp-wise it doesn't really matter as much.

Countering Vacc
Countering vacc is pretty easy but only once the enemy team has gained a foothold and had time to adjust. The super fast pushing speed of the vac puts the other team off balance and keeps them that way as long as your pocket keeps the pressure on. Keeping their flank and medic separated is a must. Wrap plays also would be very effective putting their buffed flank against your less buffed flank. However in this point in its development I doubt many teams would be able to adjust without giving up a few points if not rounds.

Notes
Soldier heavy maps such as gullywash with large flank/choke separation tend to play into the strengths of the vaccinator. I've also used it to great success on process pugs abusing the chokes from mid-2nd.
