I would like to see the rainblower disabled because of the taunt associated with it, at least until they can patch the range on it. I see people constantly killing people at the beginning of the round through the gate and also through walls. Also looks like it can screw up bots: http://www.skial.com/threads/bots-dont-move.20593/#post-221640

It doesn't have any special stats and there are other ways to get into Pyroland if you want.

you can always make it to where the bots can't equip it. that should solve that problem.

as for the exploit u cannot stop that. i always do a warning and a ban. You will upset people if you remove the rainblower


ps. i remember the good old days when u could snipe people through the gates. i miss those days

Could we possibly just disable the taunt on it then?

Also, you can still snipe people through the degroot gate.
 
I'm against it - disabling a weapon that isn't actually breaking the game seems pointless.

As Zebra said, don't let the bots equip it, warn players who exploit it and hope Valve will eventually get around to patching it...there will always be some stupid glitch people will take care of, we can't possibly ban them all.

As the rainblower is a "new" weapon, I'd be against disabling it simply because a lot of people are still excited with it and enjoying it.

Edit:
Also I'm pretty sure a weapon's taunt can't be disabled.
 
i think this problem should be solved by the source,
that means: fixing the maps.

all flamethrowers can burn and kill through the gates, not only the rainblower
the sandman-ball can also stun through the gates in dustbowl, before the round starts
jarating people is also possible
not sure about mad milk, but i expect that would work too.

so if you disable the rainblower, then also the other weapons above.

so for me it is a big : -1

Mad milk works as well. And every once in awhile someone can pull off a Kamikaze taunt.
