Am I the only one who thinks it wasn't a nerf?
You can't plop it down at full health when someone's directly firing at you (any engie who does this in the first place is gonna have it blown up pretty quickly, its only worth doing for a small distraction) but in return you can repair it
I'd say the trade off is worth it

The problem wasn't them being uncounterable. The problem was them being simply not fun to play against. is it hard for me to kill a mini sentry as a soldier, or something? No. is it annoying to have to keep killing the minis that some kid keeps plopping down because there's no penalty? Yes.
The only thing this nerfed was them being so annoying, they still serve the same function, you just can't keep plopping them down relentlessly now, and it requires half a brain to actually do it.
Something can be balanced yet suck the fun out of a game, and thats what minis did.
They're certainly more annoying on some maps than others..turbine..hightower..harvest etc.etc. Just overall it was not a fun mechanic to play against. Games do this often, change something that a large percentage of the player base hates dealing with.
Antim does have a point
I find mini sentry engie to be more fun over the normal sentry but I have noticed mini sentries are just annoying as fuck to play against on some maps

Mini sentries destroy maps. Almost all the CTF maps become a chore of constant mini-sentry clubbing or feed Engineer free kills.
There's problems with this though
- Building something that can still be destroyed with 1 sticky is a waste of time
- Repairing something that has 100 health anyway is a waste of time
- In an open battlefield with players easily able to take out a mini with 50 hp instead of 100? Bad idea and also, a waste of time
- A sniper headshotting you when you're trying to repair it is easy
If people complained about the new quick play changes as much as they did about about the mini sentry than everything would have been okay.

It's like, he didn't even ask anyone who's ever played Scout for any length of time what they think about them.
Maybe?
Don't get me started. I never really got killed by them because I would avoid them but when they caught me off guard making me run for a health pack or to spawn. Now I can kill them in half a pistol clip and taunt like a bitch after killing the Engie who built them.
