I’m glad it’s back to normal. While it does need a nerf, the one they implemented was way too harsh and not something that fits that class after so many years. Nerf him, but in a better way. 15% less damage, or reduced clip size. There are possibilities out there that most people would be ok with. There’s no need to completely fuck a class over like this.

5 or 10% less damage from air detonations? Just a possible way to nerf.

If not NERF THE FUCKING PARACHUTE.

“With this parachute, stickies have damage ramp up. Full damage reached 2 seconds after firing.”
They do not have to nerf a vanilla mechanic so it will fit better with an unlock.

Imagine if the buff banners for solly filled up far too quickly and valve nerfs the rocket damage so it will take longer time to fill it up. Please get those dollar signs out of your eyes Gabe & Robin.

Neither Gabe nor Robin even work on TF2 or make these decisions lol

I’m happy with the reversed nerf. I don’t mind a nerf in itself, I actually welcome it, but it was done in a weird way. When you start getting into the territory of damage varying in like 3 different ways over time and distance maybe you should start looking at what’s actually the issue with the weapon instead of these band-aid fixes.

Personally I’m quite partial to a rate of fire decrease or the suggested radius rampup.

If there was a nerf, I would suggest having a smaller blast radius in air-stickies. Killing scouts by putting stickies under you should still be a thing.

make the damage like 20% less or something, I think that would be fair

in no way

Quoted from smziii

splash radius ramp up pls

– you have to actually aim stickys
– midairspam doesnt do full damage unless its spot on
– u can still kill wranglered sentries etc

Of all the options, this is the one that allows more room for skill, so it’s my favourite.

Just reduce the amount of ammo in a clip.
