GunMettle Balanced - Update the Whitelist?

UGC have updated their HL whitelist to exclude newly balanced weapons, and are considering unbanning certain weapons like the Enforcer and Short Circuit, considering they’ve been nerfed just right now. I think it’s due time to change the whitelist based on these changes.

The Pretty Boy’s Pocket Pistol is now underpowered and far less broken than before, simply put it’s bad but could be useful situationally. There’s no reason to have it banned anymore.

The Short Circuit is now back to what it used to be, when it wasn’t banned. It’s arc’s been nerfed to 70* from 180*, the fire-rate for projectile destruction has been lowered to .5 seconds, and it’s now far, far less effective against countering Kritz. The key part of Gun Mettle that makes it so much weaker in general to the wrangler is the new Heavy buffs – you can remove stickies, sure, but you can’t do jack against an ubered, or even non-ubered Heavy push.
It’s great for demos, terrible for all other counters.

The enforcer, yes, can 2-shot people. But even at the lowest of skill levels, the Ambassador and Diamondback will do it more reliably and more often. You now have to actually be in a disguise before you get any bonus, and even then you must be at point blank to get more than 125 damage in two shots.
It’s like the old loch, but with much less of a damage bonus – a crutch? Possible, situationally. Overpowered? Hardly, outclassed by all the other revolvers.

The Loch is still crutchy as hell, but it does possess a keener downside now – bonus damage to buildings only. It’s less effective vs heavies now, and is countered at any range by the wrangler, and at longer ranges by the Short Circuit.

The Loose cannon remained unchanged, but it’s plainly an upgrade on Viaduct.
The Sydney Sleeper can jarate anything on scoped shots now, and as such can eliminate the durability of any combo classes in several shots.
The Airstrike’s downside are overshadowed by it’s upsides now, and the Dalokohs bar is bugged and drops a medium healthkit in the form of a small healthkit, and so is an upgrade to the sandwhich.

There is no running HL season/cup in ETF2L right now so there has been no reason to change the whitelist. I am more than sure the admins are adressing this for future seasons, like they always have when it come to new weapons and/or weapon changes.
