imo it should deal consistent enemy damage of around 40 instead of the current high damage at range mechanic. Also need to get rid of the uber building mechanic as others have said. Maybe even cap the max amount it heals for at around 80 and I still think every medic would run it 100% of the time.

This thread is 5 pages of people saying the exact same things in slightly different ways

Lock this thread already, it's pointless.

What if crossbow had a -25% ubercharge build rate, making you build uber slower. Trade in uber charge advantage for better healing.

Just an idea of a change I hadn't seen suggested.

how in the fuck do you ban a stock weapon

think about that for a moment

I've been posting stupid shit in the last days which gets downvoted down the drain, but asking to remove the crossbow is like asking someone to decapitate their head because they have a headache.
For me I think you get killed by that weapon a lot or everything you shoot gets arrow'd so you want it removed, or your own medics miss their arrows on you, OR AM I WRONG?
I have only seen in my life 4 people complaining about the Crusader's Crossbow. Please dont make it more.
I dont have to tell you why it shouldnt be banned, that's legit pretty stupid, but if you want I can waste your time with dozens of reasons

Demoman gained some weight

people downvote me without even knowing who I am or had any interaction with me xd and dont even say why lolz

refrain from posting for the next eternity

why

Yo random thought give it mouse1 and mouse2 options 1 for damage 1 for heal so no more shooting into a cluster and it works out no matter who you hit.

Also if healing builds uber randomly spamming through a choke for 70 dmg from across the map should probly drain uber.

Get rid of uber building part, nerf healing slightly (1/5 health of a class at close range, 1/2 at long). go!!!

because he takes everything personally like a petulant child

i very much doubt that people play medic because of the mechanical elements involved, that's just stupid, u don't arrow everyone 24/7
the xbow needs to be rebalanced i see that, however, removing it entirely certainly takes away from the game

And I am pretty sure that you don't play the scout/demo/soldier just because you can aim with a gun but because your positioning matters. Could you even imagine how boring it would be to play med with only medi gun?

Everyone is saying that crossbow grants burst healing and that is bad and should be banned for it. But don't other weapons grant burst damage? Why is dealing burst healing bad but dealing burst damage good?

I get that ppl get angery when they lose 1v1 because enemy medic hits an arrow, but it is as "unexpected" as bombing soldier, backstabbing spy, sniper that headshots me, demo that sticky traps me or even a scout that waits around the corner. I know that I should not get into a position where soldier can bomb and kill me, where spy can backstab me, sniper headshot me, demo kill me with his sticky trap or scout meatshot me, as well as you should not get into position where I can basically kill you by hitting a healing arrow. And if you have a medic that doesn't hit arrows get a better one. And if you are the medic that doesn't hit arrows go practice roamer on mge, trust me, it helps.

I have not read this or other whole threads, so I am sorry if this opinion is already out there by someone else.

I wouldn't necessarily ban a weapon that can be a major factor in determining whether a medic is "good" or not. The bow is one of the key factors of medic in my opinion and it only adds to the skill cap that can come with playing medic.

A wide variety of things should be focused on rather than banning an unlock that has become the staple weapon of medics, needles are next to useless as every other class could easily kill a medic that was running needles.
