So you just repeated what he said?

i don’t even know what im saying m8

Conversely, the new Short Circuit barely requires any effort other than pointing it in the general direction of the incoming threat and keep your attack bind triggered. No more skill, no more merit.

barely requires any effort?
most people think it completly kills the soldier and demo class but your ammo is still limited and you can’t run around sapping everything with it for no cost at all,
and you still have to actually hit your enemies , otherwise they will just kill you. especially pyros, heavies and scouts will always try to kill you if you go really aggressive and it’s pretty easy for them

it would actually be really good if people didn’t sit on the cart with the shortcircuit out andholding down mouse 1 :(

You are missing the point. It’s not OP because the engi can take on demos/sollys 1v1(even though that’s still fucking retarded), it’s OP because it’s damn near impossible to destroy a protected sentry even with an uber now, and he can completely ruin a kritz/any kind of demo push.

im sure it’s as possible as with the wrangler, in fact i think with the wrangler it’s damn more near impossible

against short circuit:
-coordinate direct hit spam with spam from tunnel
-get a sap on the sentry before you push (then spam direct hit)
-pick engineer

against wrangler:
-pick engineer
-sap

What about points where you don’t have a direct sightline towards the sentry?

We played a barnblitz scrim immediately after it got buffed, and neither team could push through second.

Because it’s like New weapon, New weapon = Requires some time to learn how it works like…just give SC a try, find counter-meta and that’s it.

P.S: Quintosh it’s zapping not sapping

Normally I am open to new stuff, but the SC is just retarded beyond reason, no way they are going to allow it anyways.

As a main Engineer, my opinion of this weapon is, unbalanced.

SC has high DPS, and can be considered as nerfed Flame Thrower as damage, like flame range and airblast function. Straight upgrade to Pistol, in almost every map

SC didn’t got a nonskill weapon, please stop talking shit without even trying the weapon. You actually have to aim projectiles to destroy it. They lowered the zapp radius to a point blank => only projectiles on your crosshair gets destroyed.

I can’t imagine an engineer destroying all stickes of a LM1+RM1 demoman in action.
I accept, that Soldiers got pissed about this, since they have to use shotgun to defend themselves and must give up mobility for that.

One last thing. something similar for Pyro as an april fools. Here you go :

Conclusion : The whole community finds such a thing as a joke…

Nope. Go on walkway and let demomans spam pipes and soldier spam stuff. You have to be pointing ON the projectile. Or at least near the projectile. It is not enough like prepatch that the projectile is somewhere on your screen :D

And yea that is what I said ^^ Read it again :)
