Scout is already overpowered

Stopped reading at this point…

Minicrits are already fixed – they hit only actual airborne targets, who’re thrown in the air by an explosive. Demoman is alright as it is and I really haven’t sees any serious game being played with any of the new demoman weapons, so can’t see the problem with demoman here.
FaN’s knockback has been fixed several times, so now it should be acceptable and it’s still limited to 1.

If you think the FaN is okay, then you must not have played with it since update

Indeed… they sometimes dont knock back at all ( grounded and air targets, both close range ) and they sometimes knock back 10000000 meters :| …. damage is ok though.. don’t think the damage is more OP then the scattergun..

Maybe I didn’t check it out as much as you did. It didn’t ocur to have any problems to hit airborne targets and knock them back ( for a bit ) or standing/running targets ( again only for a bit ), when I tested it. I’ll take some time more and see how bad is it.

Yeah, it’s fun now and doesn’t give you a free 2nd shot which is what everyone always complained about. If anything it kinda makes a decent second meatshot impossible as after the first one the enemy is far away from point blank range :s It now seems kinda underpowered if anything but I wouldn’t rule out someone adapting their style to make it useful (that may not involve actually killing anything.. but it might be good for harrassing/causing people to retreat out of an area/fight).

Some ideas to fix the SR.

*Increase the fire rate of the weapon to lay traps faster. (since it’s slower to put 14 stickies) and maybe increase the initialization time by 0.2 seconds to not make this weapon a better offensive weapon than the sticky launcher.
-OR increase the ammo clip to 14 stickies.

*Fix the crosshair detonation by removing the mechanic of changing the detonation radius depanding on the range you are from the stickies.

*REMOVE the ability to detonate stickies under your feet, it completely ruins one of the most effective tactics with the Scottish Resistance – controling your traps.

Just a question: Was this thread only made to whine or is someone relying the ideas to valve ?
In that case 6 sticks max for the OP one. :p

retarded

more hats plz
