lol at Dh and buff banner being banned?
Created 10th June 2010 @ 17:08
any legitimate reason why? god forbid a team uses a strat that hasn’t been totally exhausted out
DH – People complain about it as people generally feel it is skill-less, and it can kill a scout in 1 hit.
Buff Banner – I’m not sure, I guess it’s because if a team wipes, the other team has an uber and 2 minicrit ubers, and the other team as no chance.
If a soldier manages to hit a scout with dh , then the scout is skillless not the soldier using the dh , derp.
And buffbanner – good riddance.
why not ban spies and snipers then? it can be way harder to counter a sniper than a DH soldier
JUST BAN NATASHA REALLY care about dh/buff banner

why do u even care, you havent played single etf2l official game anyway
Because maybe i want to start and I prefer to use DH
It’s because the DH promotes boring play. 1-shotting Scouts aside, do you really want to rocketjump/stickyjump when you have a Soldier with that thing and good aim on the other team? He’ll blast you out of the sky quite often, so often that walking is the better option. Slow, boring, not fun to watch. Having that Soldier pocket doesn’t work well either due to marked inferiority vs ‘regular’ targets (even with 1-hitting Scouts), but he can’t go aggressive either since bombing from the sky doesn’t work due to lack of splash. Adds nothing to the game while making it more boring.
The Buff Banner should be banned because it is overpowered. Grants humongous damage output within quite a large range (almost container length – 450HU), even through walls! Killing him is a lot harder than killing the Medic with Kritzkrieg as well since he doesn’t even need a direct LoS. All he needs is to be within range.

As for the first point, learn to airstrafe. Even the best DH soldiers you can sharply dodge their projectiles in midair unless they get a really nice/lucky shot. unless you’re unable to airstrafe in which case you’re an easy airshot for any projectile or even a sniper rifle.
As for buff banner, fair enough. I guess it’s a pub unlock at best.
