Hello everyone, i'm Lacanne (oi i'm a frenchie) and today i have a question : why the engineer is missing in competition ?
TeamFortress2 is a game about 9 classes, so the 9 classes could be into competitive right ?

in 6s, it's pretty common to run engineer on last so he isn't completely "missing". Because most maps are 5cp in comp, where you can be attacking and defending in very short time, he isn't versatile enough to be used full time.

You can play engineer if you want full time, you probably won't win though and your team-mates will dislike it.

If you want to play engineer in 6s, the ideal situation would be to build sentry when you are defending last, whereas it's the only viable there and only there

Engis buildings just arent that useful in 6's.
Sentry: Easily destroyed by a coordinated team, or an uber push. Could be used to protect the flank to counter scouts.
Dispenser: Barely any healing compared to a medic and they dont move. '
Teles: All of the other 6's classes are the 4 fastest classes in the game so you would need to be really on top of everything to provide viable and useful teles to your team.

engie is an enferior class and therefor it's a bad idea to have one full-time

Engineer is a class designed around being an area denial class that builds a stationary aimbot. I hope that never becomes viable in 6s because it's really boring to play against.

The 6's game is fast paced. Engineer would be too slow to setup on midpoints and second points. Like Manky said, he is only useful on last. It is really easy for a 6's team to destroy a sentry as well. All a team has to do is pull of a good uber, or spam it out if it is in a bad spot.

maybe if gunslinger and wrangler wasn't banned engineer would have more options but sadly he's been intentionally pigeon-holed by a bunch of scouts and soldiers.

i've always wondered if gunslinger was allowed, would teams ever use it outside of product? it seems that it would be just an annoying unlock that would be used in lower levels.

Yeah I think they are pretty useless and would just piss people off more than anything

I got to level 10 in matchmaking by solo queuing default Engineer loadout on an alt account. It's currently viable as the playerbase isn't that great. If you are unable to do well with Engi in the current state of matchmaking you might not be very good at the game.

Imo engi gunslinger is quite viable in 5cps and kinda overpowered in koth maps currently, at least against low/mid rank MM squads.
The other team will probably hate you for running it full time tho

This is really biased cos I play scout most, but I can't tell you how many times in a highlander game or pub I have dodged rockets, pipes and everything, only to have a mini sentry kill me because it aims better than anyone on the other team.
One of few weapons in the game I would remove without a second glance - people shit on auto-aim in Overwatch, but we have our fair share in TF2 :(
