This game is too realistic. Gabe Newell supported by My Wallet, Mayweather getting baited by Pacquiao.

I think there's a thing you have to do in CMD, I forget the word order, but it's like

ipconfig /flushdns

I named myself "Bank is Open" and made several friends who constantly collected and shot their mass into me. RIDE THE SNAKE and I were tag-teaming to make it up the ranks, and he always knew he could sacrifice his split self to give me the upper hand against our foes.

I would always give mass back to those who made a deposit lol

There is a built in timer to keep you from splitting and merging, being stuck in split cells is balanced so you can't abuse the split boost without getting punished for being 50% mass

I'm elliot.

THE POWER STRUGGLE WAS LIKE THIS FOR 5 MINUTES STRAIGHT, just as I started to merge my game crashed.

This game has made me so salty. All time best; I later get absorbed by ()*()

The point being, weapons shouldn't have a niche where "If the enemy is using it, I should too." from a casual standpoint, why do experienced, item-abounding users beat my team to middle? Because we don't have the same unlocks as them. Same can apply to escape plan really

Holy shit that's such a good idea. A slow decline, like reverse soda popper boost, and dealing damage gains boost. That sounds so balanced

Just a quick note on disciplinary action and highlander, the weapon forces you to use it on both teams in order to not lose in midfight. What team genuinely does finewithout whip at a midfight while the other team uses it?

EDIT just thought of a solution, make the gloves of running urgently give the whip effect instead of just being a speed boost

I tried to make it as clear as possible to discuss problems, and that suggestions are optional. Obviously seeing changes the way we present it won't be the solution persay, but this thread wouldn't be active without suggestions/solutions.

the core reason for this thread is to present problems we face with unlocks

Reserving this post for a formal Quick-Fix post later this afternoon. Let's talk about the problems with quick fix, but try to discuss it away from the 6s standpoint as well, because there's more to weapons than its comp application.

For starters, why can you cap with its insane heal rate? You can't get juggled off a point, and unless some insane dps is happening point-blank you're going to survive and cap for free basically. This mostly applies to last points where the point can be reached through a fast route

The current short circuit can allow a free choke-point push, but also completely denies Demoman since all of his weapons are explosives, and it takes very little effort to completely shut down these high damage explosives for his teammates to fight and kill said victim. Using the old short circuit to clear a spam choke would be a cool tactic because it wouldn't be the bullshit weapon it is today.

I see your point about Darwin outside of a 1v1 but it just seems unfair that if an enemy sniper has the weapon and I don't, I can't hope to defeat him if he is the one grabbing picks on my teammates

Certain weapons slow down the game in their respective situations. Slowing down the game isn't a bad thing; making it difficult/unfair to win a 1v1 without a weapon is slowing down the game.

It's interesting that Valve included in their blog post "What if you had to deal with a team full of <class> using <said unlock>?" when literally anything engineer is horrible to deal with on a more-than-2-engineer basis. Examples include:

Mini Sentry Wranglers scattered across a last point (I've dealt with this in badwater last, it's dreadful).
Rescue Ranger Engineers repairing the sentry of an engineer short-circuiting away stickies/rockets (removing the ability to take out a sentry before it can be repaired, how is this balanced).

Uber does not slow down the game, it allows you to push through stalemate-y maps, and chokepoints, without dying.

Ambassador, revolver exist for this reason. 2-3 shots kill, and you usually get the jump on them enough to get those shots off.

This statement makes no sense

The weapons in question are slowing down the game in places outside of DM-fests. In the already stalemate-y parts of competitive play, and even casual play, Short Circuit protects sentries, as does Wrangler, and Darwin's limits frag-ability.

The aforementioned engineer weapons are guilty of this, not necessarily the class itself.

He said in a suggestion to alter the Solemn Vow to not be passive, and to be an active while holding.
