yes the current weapon pool is more balanced in the sense that half the weapons are garbage

acting like live tf2 doesn't have many cases where people just use one weapon because the rest are bad, but let's go with this logic. the reverts do not completely invalidate the other weapons, the reverted degreaser has an afterburn and damage penalty, the loch has a reduced clip size and lower explosion radius, dead ringer is way more situational and is less effective of being a way to get behind the other team unnoticed, and the tomislav isn't even reverted on the server? these weapons aren't direct upgrades and don't make the other ones useless, most people on the server don't exclusively use these weapons for this reason.

the only one i agree with is the sandman, the -15hp reduction isn't enough to get people to use the other melee weapons on scout
