well the pickaxe HAS_ to go. with 1 hp a soli is faster than a scout and can 1 hit a demo.
the direct hit isnt that good. most ppl suck with it as it seems.

No and no.
Still slightly slower than a scout and as Racio said, 165 damage.
And tbh, if you fail to kill a 1 hp solly before he melee’s you, you don’t deserve to survive that fight.

While it does seem people agree on the potency of a lot of the soldier unlocks atm, I see zero reason for banning the RJ boots? I think they’re great, and can allow the soldier to equip them for various surprise attacks, for instance on middle, and not nearly powerful enough to warrant a ban.

Equalizer and TDH both need nerf, and more drawbacks to give them a more defined purpose.

Bugle is interesting, but its current incarnation is poor for 6v6.

hahahah i havnt red anything from previous pages but made me lol when u say “yada yada needs nerf”…… like it will ever happen…lol

Boots only absorb damage from a ground jump, not a wall jump and it replaces shotty, why should they be banned ffs? o_0

About Buff Banner. You push in with uber, if enemy does that aswell you fight, maybe loose something, you use buff banner and charge them on no uber then, fight won. But how about Jarate then? It gives the same fucking thing and you don’t QQ about that! Oh, right, no one is using that… Maybe The Buff Banner won’t be used aswell!? This is simply ridiculous thread and +1 what Animal said.

Jarate and bugle is a ridiculous comparison.

the boots are just not fair cause u only get them trough random drops, so even if they are shit its not fair that not everyone can use them

and about your banner and jarate comparison:

first of all u cant really compare a main class like the soldier, of which every team will always use at least one all the time, with a backup class like the sniper

then to get a similar effekt to the buff banner, the sniper would need the get really near to the enemy team to hit a lot of people with jarate (and thats not what a sniper is supposed to do) and even if he does, he will always only hit max 2 or 3 opponents

The same as soldier before he eventually dies.

You can also craft them.

ye to craft them you need only:

3 weapons of a kind or a primary, secondary and meele weapon of one class (scrap metal)
+
4 secondary weapons (slot token)
+
4 soldier unlocks (class token)

and then u have a 50:50 chance of getting the boots

do i need to tell you more?

Playing scout and getting instagibbed is no fun, soldiers are arguing that they have to “direct hit” to do that, but at close / mid range it’s not a big deal …

I mean sniper was meant to be the instagib class, 1 class is enough …

I dont think its intended to be fun
It’s probably an invitation to play another class or with a different approach
