kinda curious, did whoever gave this the greenlight realise it lets heavies get to mid at the same time as a pocket/medic on most maps?

i’ve tried playing fulltime heavy and it’s effective and also really boring and i don’t really know how i feel about this new meta

It’s how we beat the Americans at i55.

Allow the direct hit instead.

Allow the direct hit instead.

what possible reason can there be for allowing the direct hit other than ruining everyone elses fun

i wouldnt get too used to it

The fan can also be annoying to play against and is allowed.

thats not a good argument

Shouldn’t ban it, if you can’t find a use for this weapon on a Valve server it’s going to be about as useful as the Dalakoh’s Bar or some of the dumb melee weapons in the game.

You might as well allow them, I’d like to see new uses for weapons and classes in our otherwise fairly stale gamemode.

We have to stop banning weapons that allow classes to have more impact outside the core classes, 6v6 is some inbred bastard child of a gamemode created by people based on unlocks of nearly 7 years ago, why we aren’t allowing as much as possible (beyond the ridiculous like the Gunslinger) is beyond me.

Getting to middle faster with a Heavy might make things more interesting to play against. It certainly doesn’t make full time heavy viable either way.

the point is unlocks dont waste the game as much people like to think, just look at esea with all their unlocks including the direct hit and the market gardener, its still not destroying the game.

its not destroying the game but these annoying unlocks dont add anything either
