Can confirm.

***On-Topic***
As a med, I can imagine getting REALLY frustrated playing against a MG roamer since it (feels like) I can’t do as much to prevent this.
Bombing solly? Could’ve been called earlier and I could’ve surfed his first rocket, if I die anyway, that’s partially because of ME.
Sticky trap? We should’ve checked, I died because of MY TEAM.
MG Solly? Even if called early, I think it’s rather difficult to dodge, and the only ‘real’ way to prevent this is hoping your pocket hits an airshot, which is difficult and thus giving the bombing solly a BIG advantage. The question is, does the roamer really need a buff? (If the MG is actually good (never played against this, I’m hypothetical here))
I’d say no, but that’s another discussion.
TL;DR: Don’t allow MG, medic can do WAY less to prevent getting killed by it compared to regular bombers and stickies + pocket needs to hit an airshot to make sure the medic doesn’t risk dying. Giving the roamer a advantage he doesn’t need.

Stop being so conservative boys, let’s use logic and not tradition or any other retarded way to decide these things

That being said, regardless of MG being worse than EP/PT, it still has no drawbacks in comp, which is why I can understand it being banned.

Would it have a drawback like EP used to have (can’t be healed while equiped) or something else that works in comp, then I would not mind at all. If it then turns out years after that some people have found a new way to really abuse it or make it OP then you could just ban it then. As the weapon is right now you are most likely going to have to commit your whole life to just the chance of hitting a target with it, and when the MG user’s destination is as obvious as the enemy medic then it isn’t that difficult to deny him either.

But yeah, right now it has no drawbacks in comp so I see why it’s banned in that sense =)

he MG isallowed in NA, how often do you see sollys bomb in with MG on a high level?

If he’s called out, rush at him, he’ll slow his jump, then get back. Good job, you are out of range. You could also do a simple strafe to fuck his aim up.

if it’s really that easy, I’d say we should allow it.

newsflash: nobody cares on what level someone plays if they’re wrong
if their logic is flawed then their logic is flawed and you shouldn’t be surprised if people are going to call them out on it, “lol div5-6 u noob xD” is just a poor defense for when people can’t properly back up their flawed argument and people shouldn’t even try if that’s the only thing they’ll be able to come up with
