shorasFirst of all, I'm gonna be talking from 6s point of view because it's obviously the main comp tf2 game mode..
I've been talking about 6s all the time, except for some weapons like the Razorback.
shorasUber gain actually speeds the game up, don't see how that's a downside. Maybe you love stalemates?
Passive reload is one of the factors, that make this weapon actually fun to use and increases the skill ceiling. Try playing Pyro with Flare Gun having no passive reload.
Except this weapon doesn't need passive reload or Über gain? It was great without any of those. If I recall correctly, people were doubtful about the Über buff. It actually builds faster than the medigun on injured targets. Maybe then, make it gain less Über, so it still speeds the game up?
shorasFrom what I know it's not even widely used in HL, where Heavy is run full time. Also not everyone uses it in 6s. Maybe not so OP?
It's 50/50, to be honest. But I agree it's not really one of the most OP weapons on this list.
shorasIt's not like a Scout can't backcap without Bonk. He'd have someone going back for him (or waiting for him on last) no matter what.
But at least he could be killed on his way. 8 seconds of invicibility isn't the same.
shorasWhen enemy team pushes into your last and you pick your sentry up you leave your team fighting with a 1 player disadvantage until you rotate and rebuild your sentry, which takes quite some time.
Or you just rebuild immediately.
