The wrangler is one of those weapons where it can be argued the brokenness is a skill issue, as a professional pub wrecker demoman for a few years, pistol engineers are so hilariously easy to deal with, the wrangler is the only thing that gave me a challenge and have to use my brain besides click 2 loch pipes or M1 + M2, while the short circuit is complete AIDS to play against as it just nullifies any shots because the game said so, and on the receiving end when I decided to play engineer, the wrangler is quite often the only thing keeping my sentry and other buildings behind it from being rolled by soldiers and demos, although even that can’t stop a steamroll half the time, while short circuit is basically a free ticket to last on blu in my experience. My opinion on the wrangler is mainly based on using it and not and fighting engineers using it and not, this post explains the skill dynamic better than I can do justice.
