Because we clearly need more pointless TF2 threads, out of curiosity do you find normal sentry engie fun?

Personally I'd like to play engineer more but I just can't find the enjoyment out of it except for mini sentry combat engie
 
Engineer period is only fun for me when my sentry is in a good position gunning down everyone on the enemy team or when my tele is used to push the team, doesn't matter what type of sentry it is.
 
Level 3 sentries are way more effective than minis which is why I'll never understand mini complaints.

But listening to everyone bitch and moan about minis is way more fun than winning.
 
People complain about the mini because it has lvl 3 sentry range, too much flinch, and it regenerates health while building. Why wouldn't you complain about it?

That and it's tiny as fuck making it a pain to shoot at from a distance when you're trying to be quick about it.

Level 3 sentries can be fun to jump around with using the wrangler and the rescue ranger but when they get destroyed I have no desire to rebuild again and just switch off to another class
mini sentries are more fun to roam around with
 
I just hate the fact it takes so damn long to build one and then 2 rockets from the other end of the map and it's gone. Engineer has always been my favorite class, but it's so time consuming and so easy to take down the sentrys.

Two loch-n-load pipes and your lvl 3 goes bye-bye. The Direct Hit is even worse as it's projectiles are nearly impossible to intercept with the Short Circuit.
 
When I want to piss off people, or I'm getting desperate as the enemy is a few moves away from the point, I use my mini sentry. Its size and building speed allow me to quickly run behind large, distracted, groups before taking them head on. The mini will provide cover fire and help massacre people even after I die, and sometimes will provide me crits for my Frontier Justice.

When I'm trying to hold of large amounts of enemies or hold ground, I'll use a normal sentry. Its weapons and health, and I will usually camp near it with my dispenser, will help keep enemies at bay and usually cause someone to try using an uber to destroy it, allowing a now-neglected pyro to airblast them away.
 
I like being a normal sentry engie, It's my second favourite class to be honest. I'm a pretty patient engie as well, especially on turbine. While other engies are out and about, a lot of times out of base even, I'll just be hanging out in the intel room all built up in a corner. When people get through (which happens more than it should haha), they aren't expecting anyone in the intel room. I've got a lvl 3 sentry and they die pretty damn quick because of it. I enjoy that more than getting my shit destroyed constantly. Kills take longer and my pace is slower, but I'm often the difference between the intel getting capped or not, so I'm fine with it haha.
