just like gunboats on roamer and escape plan on soldier and stickybombs on demoman... do you want to ban those?
You can run Banners on Soldiers, it's a tactical choice if you want to sacrifice mobility for extra damage or ability to soak up damage.
You can run Pain Train if you want to sacrifice the speed the Escape Plan gives you for extra capping power.
you can run the overdose if you expect to be baited by your team on high ubercharge
fragile literally said in this thread that syringes are better than xbow on the majority of granary
don't pretend that the xbow is the only choice in its slot, it's the best in most situations but not all
@Kav - Fun is a very objective way at looking at it, plenty of people don't enjoy the crossbow and have stated so yet you use it as an argument to keep it in. Your logic isn't adding up to me.
more people enjoy the crossbow than don't, outside of circlejerk tftv threads
If we applied this weapon to the same logic that we apply to the Vitasaw it would be banned
the vitasaw is a broken pos that adds nothing to the game but gives medics free ubercharge for 0 skill cap
It is not comparable to the crossbow in any way. The crossbow brings new mechanics, different projectiles, different situational usages, new techniques (xbow building), and some level of actual enjoyment/aim requirement to the healbot class.
We're banning weapons way less impactful on the game than this like the Vaccinator and the Rescue Ranger.
Again, if you want to ban weapons for being impactful then the most well liked and balanced weapons should be at the top of the chopping block. No one can argue that gunboats, escape plan, stock demo/scout weapons, winger, even ubersaw are some of the most impactful weapons in the game. The medigun is the most impactful weapon. None of them need to be banned because of that.
