heinKoobadoobsBut wouldn't the same be true of the Pomson? You'd see a lot of people use it with some higher-level engies sticking with their shotties and being just as, if not more, successful. That doesn't mean you'd be OK with the Pomson unbanned, right?
What exactly makes the Wrangler different from the Pomson?
Is someone arguing with you about Pomson? I've only seen you mention it so far. I've used the pomson and its not that great. Its pretty tough to 1on1 anyone with. If a Medic knows you're using it he can stay out of those sight lines similar to Snipers. But take away the ability to remove uber % and its a pretty garbage weapon.
Yes, I know. No, no one was arguing about the Pomson, and if you read my posts, you'd see that I wasn't talking about it. I was comparing the Wrangler to it. To be honest the Wrangler is just as imbalanced as the Pomson, and if UGC bans one, then they should ban the other.

The reasons the Pomson is not allowed:
-It lowers the skill floor by allowing spammy play to hurt the other team
-It discourages use of the shotgun which is a perfectly balanced item for the engy
-It drains uber, and the Engy should not be able to singlehandedly take an uber away from a medic without a good deal of skill (ie: getting behind the medic and shotguning him down)
The Wrangler:
-It lowers the skill floor by allowing sentry positions from which you can spam and hurt the enemy team easily compared to no Wrangler.
-It discourages use of the Pistol and Short Circuit which are perfectly balanced items for the engy.
-It forces medic to use their uber on a sentry instead of the other team's combo, and the engy should not be able to singlehandedly take an uber away from a medic without a good deal of skill.
But what do I know, right? I main engy, so I'm too biased to talk.
I am an Engy Main in UGC. I would like the Wrangler banned, please.
The wrangler facilitates boring, stupid sentry positions that can't work without it due to long range spamming options. Also, the pistol and short circuit have been sitting in its shadow for a while now, and I'd rather die 100 times learning to utilize the short circuit than sit by my sentry, holding out the wrangler, shooting everything in range like every other engy for another season. It stunts creativity and intelligent engineering by offering a simpler, mindless alternative (like the tomislav, enforcer, pomson, etc).
Honestly, if even the engineers don't like it, why is it allowed?
