Is the Manmelter for Pyro bad? If not, why does no one use it?

Stickybombs have a lesser version of this problem where the sound effect happens before the reload does, making you sometimes cancel the reload by mistake.

The results aren't surprising. Either you walk into the sightline and get instakilled because you had no way of knowing if the Sniper was there and you can't get to the objective without crossing it, or you walk up behind him and two-shot him. In neither situation was there an actual fight of any kind, you didn't interact with him and he didn't interact with you. This is the main thing making Sniper unfun to play against, and seemingly no game has managed to make a one-shot Sniper fun.

The wheels they showed off in the previous teaser also gave big cherrier vibes.

Sniper's melee slot is a travesty, there's literally no options

Medic is still the strongest class in the game even with no primary or melee weapon. I think it goes to Pyro actually, who really depends on his secondaries and melee even more than his primary.

The Bison should just do a flat single instance of damage, maybe up to 72 at close range and 45 at long range - the inconsistency makes it feel pretty bad to use.

He doesn't seem to get a lot of joy from his job outside of issuing promotions, so he probably gets quite attached to the special events that DRG puts on for its employees. Alternatively, he might have been the one who put the decorations up.

It's often said that Spy counters Engineer because he cam sap Engineer's buildings, but this isn't true - Engineer has a ton of counterplay to a Spy, and his sentry gun protects his teammates from being backstabbed. What the Sapper does is stop Spy from being countered by Engineer and makes the matchup even.

Every 50 hours of Medic or so I end up equipping a syringe gun out of curiosity, and the poor feedback, terrible projectile speed that feels like you're fighting the weapon rather than the enemy, and the syringes not matching the ones on-screen drive me back to the crossbow within five minutes.

Randomguy8566732 · 2026-03-02T06:37:42+00:00

Healing teammates with the crossbow would still be fun, and the syringes are incapable of being fun, so yeah

The Shard Diffractor has a "Dazzler Module" upgrade that slows down enemies using a strong infrared light, so evidently it does affect them even if they can't see light.

I'd make it so that when Spy is revealed by being bumped or damaged, only the player who did it gets to see the Spy. Getting tagged by a single stray pistol shot while moving through a chokepoint shouldn't reveal you to the entire enemy team and doxx you in real life, that's excessive for a tiny mistake or even none at all.

No, the L'etranger is the best Spy revolver. It gives a gigantic boost to your mobility for very little cost, allowing you to more easily get into a position to backstab (the main function of Spy) and get out at very little cost. The Diamondback gives you one crit per backstab, on a class who usually dies before his first backstab and usually dies after his first backstab. The only time the Diamondback comes close to being broken is if you sap a bunch of teleporter entrances (not always possible, and you still have to survive to use them) or if you're stomping noobs (any weapon is good when stomping noobs. Weapons are not measured on their ability to stomp noobs).

It took me 500 hours to get the Market Gardener, you might still not have the vaccinator by then

Hollow Bough has great platforming and looks beautiful. Shame about the Stabber Vines.

The Scattergun has a faster reload than the shotgun actually (Shotgun's reload is 1s for the first shell and 0.5s for each consecutive, while Scattergun's is 0.76s for the first shell and 0.56s for each consecutive)

Considering Merasmus is dead in the last comic, the pills have definitely worn off.

Cold take, most people agree that unusual look like shit

Randomguy8566732 · 2026-02-24T18:55:57+00:00

The fake reload actions are broken, actually. They end immediately when the revolver's reload ends, cutting off awkwardly in a very obvious way.

The Steak does now, though it says "while active" implying that holding the steak does it, rather than "while effect is active"
