So shotgun soldiers should just blow themselves up? Your logic is flawed. If gunboats soldiers shouldn't blow themselves up with there own rockets when shooting people why should shotgun soldiers? Why should anyone be able to basically melee someone with the RL without consequences? One of the skills of DMing as soldier is maintaining a bit of distance.

I think a 25% boost to soldiers base self dmg resistance (including RJs) would be a nice addition. This would let non GB soldiers have SOME mobility while keeping the boats as the go to for roamers. It would also be enough to prevent a scout 1 shoting you when you round the corner and you fire at the same time. If the mobility boost for boats is too much nerf them by like 10/15% (although i don't think it will be).

Well if you don't want things to change i have bad news for yah. The scout mains are not getting rid of their 144hz monitors.

Pocket soldiers running shotgun was the meta for what? 8 years?

You are a moron if you think waddling around with you shotgun out is viable play style. Gunboats are already preferable to shotgun 80% of the time and that is IF you took the time to learn how to use it. Gunboats do not need another advantage over shotgun.

It shouldn't be an unlock buff because then shotgun soldiers would miss out on most of the benefit. Should just be a base self dam resistance buff.

Being able to save teammates with a bolt in a fight is a cool mechanic and reducing the heals it gives significantly would negatively affect that.

The problem with the crossbow is the fire rate. You don't even have to think about if you should use it or not. Also due to the fire rate dumb tactics like arrow tanking Heavys are viable. Also being able to instant recover your team from taking a large amount of damage by having everyone take an arrow isn't exactly fair.

In the current meta i believe arrows need there current stats to help keep soldier relevant (soldiers are by far the biggest benefactor of arrow heals) but with the changes being made by this plugin i no longer see it as necessary. I feel the crossbow in its current state significantly dumbs down the class and reduces the importance of heal management.

BASED

Just reduce the base self damage stat. This has the added bonus of making shotgun pocket more viable. I liked the old dynamic of roamers run gunboats and pockets run shotgun.

For the love of all that is holly add this to league play and finally end the Scout's reign of terror.

I managed around 100fps in pubs on my i5 2410M with intel HD Graphics 3000 with Mastercom's Very Low @ 800*600.

This game runs like shit on ALL hardware. It only scales to 3 threads (and not even particularly well) and doesn't scale at all beyond that.
