Alright, I did get it described. "I'm starting to run out of room for any more tally marks on this thing"

[Greiger]

I should probably get one of those for my rocket launcher.

"100% chance to fire a crocket.  Except when it doesn't."

[breadbocks]

Don't even joke about that.

Please.

I beg of you...

[Cthulhu]

I'm going call my sniper rifle The Brain Fuckler, with the description "Fouler of heads, mad fuckler of thoughts."

Maybe I'll wait until I get the bazaar bargain for that though.

[RF]

How abouyt something simple?

"Another one bites the dust."

[Darvi]

"Brotip: Don't step on the glowy balls."

[mr. macduggan]

RF, I like it, but it's already described. Maybe in the future I'll describe my strange shotgun "another one bites the dust." All I need is a tag.

Is it just me, or does Valve's item team not really get itemisation? (At least for certain classes.)

The tomislav is currently, in my opinion, still pretty OP. They gave it a significant nerf for obvious reasons, but the very reason it's OP is the same reason (or, rather, the opposite end of the same spectrum) of why the other two miniguns barely get used except in specific situations. Spin up time, man. It's a really significant part of the heavy's kit and slow spin up times generally mean death for the heavy.

It's the same with some of the older items, obviously, (lol blutsauger, what were they thinking?) but I think their obvious lack of knowledge on the heavy's issues cause some balance issues. Maybe if they replace slower spin up times with something that didn't guarantee death for an unprepared heavy, the game would have a bit more variety in heavy loadout.

You don't understand the Blutsauger? Watch it crit and mow down wave after wave of enemies and heal you. Then ubersaw someone, then blutsauger to get health back.

Whilst the medic would be far more effective using their ubergun instead. Sure, it's an option if all your support dies, but it's still a pretty worthless option. Especially since it nerfs your passive regen massively.

[Thexor]

Blutsauger was, for years, considered horribly OP. Then, the standard Needle Gun was buffed. Now, suddenly, the Blutsauger is horribly weak?

Honestly, the Blutsauger is a perfect example of how unlocks should be done. The Blutsauger is a clear sidegrade - rapid health regeneration in combat, at the cost of minimal health regeneration when not in combat. If Valve managed to get a similar level of balance between all unlocks (preferably without taking two years to do so), I'd be delighted.



The Tomislav was fairly silly for a while, but now it's pretty normal. It revs up faster, sure, but once revved up it suffers from significantly reduced damage. At least Natasha gains a bonus in exchange for its lost damage; once the Tomislav is spun up, it gains no further benefit in exchange for -20% damage. I wouldn't say it's a weak unlock or anything, but it's certainly not significantly overpowered anymore.

Heavy has gun. Is good gun. No one can outsmart Sasha. Only capitalist babies need many guns.

[RF]

My point is that, when the medic is using the blutsauger, the medic is not healing. That's all. That's where the issue lies.

[The Scout]

Ah. But when I heal, my healee doesn't protect me. So surprise scout kills me and I waste uber. On the offence, I mow through everything, even sentries(except well placed ones). I can rush in, kill 2 enemies and have an uber, in about 10 seconds. Or I can heal a single person and die. But it seems I'm good with hitting scouts and stuff with melee, so it might be a moot point.
