Well I’m pretty sure no competition player is using Gunboots. So I had this idea:

Move Gunboots to Misc Item Slot.
You can’t have Gunboots and Pickaxe in the same time. (you must choice between them).

I think this will solve Pickaxe OP problem and gunboots useless.

But this pick axe isnt a misc item? + I don’t like the sound of soldiers jumping at you only loosing 20 or so health.

the current tradeoff is fine, making gunboats misc slot would op em

Actually I’ve seen the gunboats used quite a bit already, ScS used them very effectively against us in our first WPTF2L6v6 league game this season, with a soldier being able to put extra pressure on the scouts on the middle of badlands. Also there are certain maps where you can even beat a scout to middle with negligible health loss.

The problem with gunboats isn’t their useful-ness, it’s the random nature that they are acquired. Once there’s a clear way to acquire them then they’ll be used a lot more I’m sure.

Please think again.
