I'd like to suggest to consider medic, pocketing sniper with Vaccinator, a griefing.

Before you start throwing your rocks at me (and I totally understand why would you) let me explain the reasons that stay behind it.

Not only medics like that do not help their team advance, but it is also simply impossible to kill a sniper with Vaccinator pocket medic. Fully charged Machina causes 80hp (!) damage with headshot to sniper who got pocket medic healing him with Vaccinator. Not only it overheals the sniper, but it also provides him immunity from damage.

I have to admit, it's somewhat fun to play with such a pocket medic if you have this medic on your side healing you, but it is absolutely no fun, if this medic is in opposite team.

Literally, yesterday Headlight was "pocket-medicing" me and I got two (!) simultaneous headshots in my head and managed to get out with 8 health... Isn't it ridiculous?

I personally, when I see such a tandem on an opposite team, I switch to another class right away and consider my "sniping evening" done and ruined. This is my workaround for this annoying tandem.

No wonder people on 2fort+ are complaining so much about it.

Your suggestions, please.

Normally the weapons in TF2 are very balanced, but it seems like this wasn't balanced well at all. +0 for now.
 
It's annoying and the Vaccinator in my personal opinion feels a bit overpowered but I can't see something like being bannable. It's kind of like good heavies with a good pocket medic, they're a pain in the ass to take out but with some team work it can be done fairly easily, same concept applies to this.
 
Just work your way around it, use team work to take them out. +0 for now unless you can convince me.
 
When the fuck did you guys ban weapons for being OP or UP? Never? Only when they were buggy and/or crashed the server.
 
This is like when people try to turn alltalk off because they think they are hardcore protessional tf2 swag pros #yolo
 
I'm in the state of mind that nothing the opposing team does should be griefing..short of entering the opposing team spawn, or a spy getting healed purposely by a medic on your team.

If killing the players can end it, it really isn't griefing. It's obnoxious to play against for sure, but its like when the piss set was active and people wanted kritz medic / piss set banned...it's a function in the game, wouldn't be fair to ban people for simply pocketing a sniper. People should be allowed to play the classes how they want, it'd be like banning a soldier for using treads/gardener just because you didn't feel he was being useful to your team.

When that nonsense happens, just do what I do..go soldier and camp their battlements until they stop.
 
Just to be clear. I didn't say "ban Vaccinator or those who play with Vaccinator". I said "prohibit medics with Vaccinator from pocketing snipers and snipers only".
Anyhow, thanks for your opinions on that matter.
 
Hey, what do you know, they ubered for 75% damage resistance to one type. oh wait a minute, just use grenades on them if they're using bullet or snipe them if they're using explosive.
 
That's like banning a demoman with a pocket medic who is spawn camping you. Just have a scout go kill the medic or something.
