Uncharitable Spy
I feel its dumb when half of the server playes pyro or demo coz pyro is the fastest and if im heavy some maps mainly dididoit are impossible for classes too slow idk id its just my issue but i like to play all classes on dr not only 2 demo chargre isnt that op if ur a good hale but when ur stupid slow u cant bait hale iven the least skilled hale can kill you.

Disable the speed boost items too if all mercs are same speed like the escape plan and bootlagger.

Slower mercs can reach at least 300 Hammer unit speed by using certain strategies, like equipping the Gloves of Running Urgently, Eviction Notice, or Escape Plan. I believe mercs being too fast is an issue, however. Powerjack Pyros are faster than Scouts, but as far as I can tell the Powerjack's speed boost is unnerfed.
However, I don't believe making every class the same speed would be a good way to solve said issues.
 
I should mention that dr_berlin boosts every class up to the same speed by default, so it's possible to see what this suggestion would be like on that map.
 
Say you're heavy, you're sacrificing speed for the benefit of 300 hp.
Spy? 125 hp but faster.
Soldier, 200 but slowish.

I'd leave the speeds as they are.
 
This makes deathrunning too generic. If Skial deathrun was a competitive gamemode, then yes, but this mainly is just a server for goofing around. I like my heavy to be slow! And if a pyro or a demo gets to the end because of speed boosts, so be it. I know specifically, that i chose the slowest over the most viable, and if i wanted to reach the end, i'll be that one pyro or demo.
 
If you're Heavy: use the Gloves of Running Urgently
If you're Soldier, use the Escape Plan and maintain low HP (around 30).
 
Just buff heavy speed to 300 hammer units and disable gru and eviction notice.

IIRC, scout used to be faster but he was nerfed, along with the BFB being removed or nerfed as well. It's kinda weird how he was the only one nerfed and the rest remained the same.

No it isn't. The fastest being nerfed to get closer to other mercs, while keeping those other mercs the same seems pretty normal. It WOULD be weird to nerf them all because then you've essentially achieved nothing.
