Quoted from wat

the only thing i hate is:
team 1 kills all team 2 on mid
team 1s banner is fully charged with uber
team 1 rapes team 2 with uber and buffbanner on cp2/4
easy last cap

That’s easy to fix:

You’re only allowed to use your buff banner if you’re losing.

Good post.

To be honest, Jarate is extremely powerful. One might say too powerful.

A lot of div1 snipers run razorback actually.

On a public?!??

I guess they leave it on after being on a public yes :p

My point is, having an unlock (equipped) does not necessarily bring diversity, it’s play-styles that may or may not utilize unlocks.

team 1 shouldnt have to use uber and buffbanner to cap cp2 if they killed all of team 2 on mid, team 1 should be able to get an easy last cap regardless off buff banner.

Worm’s hat + Buff banner = Juggling holy hand grenades when you taunt

Valve’s way of saying “legalise the banner”

Quoted from xzr

Vanilla + medic is good as a base to providing the best gameplay, but that’s not to say that certain unlocks couldn’t legitimately also be included in this setup if they provide meaningful additions to the competitive game. Bonk drink for example fulfils a very specific niche in gameplay (and is more of a gimmick otherwise) that would probably be worth allowing just so it can be used at the start of gravelpit.

Again the challenge to v+m proponents is to prove that the unlocks are overpowered and destory aspects of competitive play (or change them for the worse). The buff banner was only very briefly tested (back when it was much easier to charge I believe) and then fairly quickly fell to the wayside, probably because most soldiers didn’t like giving up their shotguns or they felt it was overpowered and should be banned. I would just like people to give it another chance before saying whether it should be banned or not ;p

Very interesting read Vali, personally havent had much experiance with it. However from gathering the details it might add more to the tight games that are stuck.

Ie: The arguments surround getting rolled on middle, if you get rolled on middle, you are likely to lose anyway are you not? how many times after you get whipped on mid 1 min later they have capped last? I dont think the buff banner will make that much of a difference.

I think it would work well in the situations where it was a tense middle fight, but one team has fallen back to choke, your banner solly played really well at the mid, and thru the combination of spam at choke has built it, you go on to win the push.

I do agree with the devastating effect coordinated spam would have though.

Also as i main scout, getting 1 shotted does suck balls =(.
