ScrewballdamneasyPocket needs normal rockets to deal with sentryThat is what the demoman is for. If you are pushing last without momentum and no demo then what the fuck are you doing?

nice logic, but giving one scenario where the pocket doesn't need to spam down the sentry doesn't prove that the pocket never needs the rocket launcher to spam down the sentry

there are a million things that can happen in tf2 which makes it significantly harder to push last if your pocket is on cow mangler

Ond_kajathere are a million things that can happen in tf2 which makes it significantly harder to push last if your pocket is on cow mangler

Our pocket ran it all season in top IM and the benefit of the pocket never having to go get ammo far outweighed the small chance that we might need him to spam a sentry.

How so? Not having to pick up ammo packs is just... comfortable (assuming your pocket has proper ammo management), it doesn't give you a significant advantage. However not being able to take down a sentry at a crucial moment is something that will make you lose last pushes. Which one is more likely to affect the outcome of the match?

also worth mentioning that with rescue ranger unbanned it's actually better to have one soldier on cow mangler and one one stock if you wanna spam a gun down

I played with cowmangler the whole season. Imo it's not that good, there has been so many times I had to kill a sentry and I couldnt. The ammo is okay but I dont really run out of ammo on roamer anyway

Also playing against muuki is impossible with cow mangler

Sure it can, if they are both using the cow mangler. =)

VulcanI really wish there was a setting that made all weapons fire from the middle, and make it like cl_interp in that you cant change it in game so that it cant be abusedRentQNI wish valve would just implement an option to center every rocket launcher. Like tf_flip_viewmodels 2 or whatever. Not changeable while connected to a server so you can't abuse it.

You even used the same words as me

Cow Mangler got no downsides if you aspire to play like Crowns.
They've got a sentry on last? Wait until they switch off of engineer because they got bored.

I ran cowmangler a bit last season on pocket and my team solved the sentry issue by having the roamer take ubers into last. Sure it's a little less convenient but as long as he understood that ubers into last were his responsibility it never seemed to slow us down waiting for him to transition. This allowed my demo to have as much ammo as he pleased and created the threat of a charge shot which made spam forces much easier.

Question: can a disabled sentry that has been hit by a cow mangler charge shot be teleported to an engineer's hand when he has the rescue ranger out?

Nope. Move the sentry before it gets hit.

Didn't read all posts. Guess the idea just isn't all that unique?

And I don't see how I used the same words. Considering we said the same thing, there are actually surprisingly few matching words.

Do people (who know what they are doing) actually use the charged shots?
Never felt like they were very useful, but then again I never used the mangler much.

I guess it can be fine if you're spamming an area from a long ways away, but your opponent will know that you're going to be low on ammo loaded if they can capitalize on it correctly

KonceptWhy isn't there an original variant of the rocket jumper?
http://pix.iemoji.com/images/emoji/apple/ios-9/256/thinking-face.png
I personally go back and forth between the two, but I use the stock a lot more

I've thought this also, along with all the other rocket launchers and their speeds, excluding the cow mangle,black box, and airstrike owing to obvious reasons, mainly looking at the different rocket speeds of DH and liberty launcher, alaong with the special overload jumping of the beggars. Just have stock rj'd and have the option to change it into these different launchers would be extremely cool!
