Not talking only about this weapon in particular, but everyone keeps bringing up the whole “speeding up the game” thing. If you keep adding unlocks which supposedly “speed the game up”, you won’t do anything. Because they don’t. If you wanna speed things up, be more agressive rather than passive fucks waiting for the enemy to push. If you wanna speed things up, make the game first to 5 on cp maps or best of 7 or anything else like that. That’s speeding things up.

OP piece of shit, I dont even want to think how quick demoman could get if they practiced jumps with this

It makes jumping faster… what? If i’m not mstaken all the whip does is five 4 second speed boost by 40% capped at scout speed. This should mean that while a rollout is happening the demoman can’t be hit that easily.

Manm this disscussion is useless. Simply needs to be added in the experimental ordnance and everyone will se how it goes, like it did with the gru.

pld v vince last night on a team with a solly who also had it
so yeah
what vince said

If the GRU was banned because it allowed the heavy fast movement (especially to mid) I don’t think the DA will be allowed.

This weapon is crazy overpowered. In a mix we played last night, I tried it out a lot. A GRU heavy runs at the same speed as a scout, and even without GRU, it’s the same speed as a demo. Sniper and Medic also run same speed as a scout.

Just finished 2 PCWs with it. It’s ridiculous how strong this thing is. :D

On the other hand, hearing your teammates yell “WHIP ME WHIP ME” is the best call ever.

played with it to last night the crouch speed increases to and its funny as hell to play with the wip i say allow it.

I really want to try this weapon out, since I get the impression that it allows classes which aren’t normally run to mid more of a chance while it could also create a few interesting rollout opportunities.

Of course, this may be because I just want to get one and name it Vine Whip.

The weapon is good. However if your sollys both equip it and whip each other and the med you can easyily outrun/jump the other med and solly.

In the mixes we’ve played with it you can be so dominated at mid as your like 5secs faster than the other combo and normally can match their scouts.

It’s takes away the skill of the rollout so imo i think it should be banned.
