it's pretty neat that they're allowing the pyro polycount

wonder why they banned the Recorder

wonder why they banned the Recorder

im guessing they think it's a buffed sapper.
im completely fine without it being used :D

>enforcer still banned
Nothing of value was given a fuck about if they ban straight downgrades

Why is the bombinomicon banned? Is there something I don't know about it?
Also, I <3 Ashville.

Why is the bootie time banned?

Why is the bootie time banned?

It jingles annoying sounds just like the pyro belt.

I don't understand why the Vita-Saw had to be banned if they enabled the item set, now they're back to square one.

Because vita saw lets you retain up to 20% uber. I don't think any medic sets do that.

You don't say...

What I meant that the reason the Vita-saw got banned wasn't that it was op or unbalanced, but because it left the medics no alternatives when it came to meele weapons. Now the amputator+crossbow would be an alternative, but they ban the Vita-saw, leaving the medics with no choice again.

I doubt we'll be seeing many Medieval medics in even UGC. Crossbow doesn't do enough DPS at close range and unless you got really good aim, it's not going to help that much with healing. Ubersaw is still sooo much better.

Well, there is no way telling which one of us is right until the season starts : )

I for one can't aim with any medic weapons...
