Huh, the SL has been slightly nerfed, everything else seemingly slightly buffed, and the new weapons sounds pretty interesting. Valve have amazed me, a list of weapon changes that seem to largely make sense, aren't over the top, reduce what was actually OP without making anything useless. On the other hand, we now have a second grenade launcher with a model that makes no sense.

Slime posted:It seems pretty pointless to me now, to be honest. The main draw was loving up scouts and it can't do that any more. And besides, 3 pills clearly can't fit in the weapon, it's only got two barrels. Sucks for the demo, I was having a blast running loch last night. Was expecting a nerf on the baby face blaster too, though.

As someone who spends way too much time playing loch n load demoknight, I'm really looking forward to the changes to it, it's less explosively powerful and more consistent. More reliable loch>eyelander combos is nice too. Overall this looks like a really great update. New weapons, interesting new game mode (that sounds really fast), new map, and balance changes that make Demo fair without making it unfun.

I don't see why "grenades hardly roll or bounce" is a good thing. I guess its so you can shoot at people's feet? I'd rather use sticky bombs for that.

Mannpower mode sounds really interesting. It'll have to be played to really be appreciated as to whether Valve have managed to make CTF "properly" work in TF2 or whether it'll be a complete mess but I'm interested. That stickybomb launcher nerf sounds a lot better than the old one though. That, the other balance changes and the new weapons are making it sound like a fun time to be a demoman!

I'd rather use sticky bombs for that. it sounds kinda like you can plant temporary mines of a sort with the thing that'll explode when people run over them? kinda like stickies that you don't have to monitor. i'm not sure what the gently caress, but i guess it could be an interesting sidegrade especially when paired with the actual sticky launchers being tooled with.

I dunno that there's any reason to use the Lock n' Load anymore considering the one thing it had over it before was dicking over scouts.

It sounds like it'll blur the lines between the demoman's primary and secondary even more, letting you effectively have a different stickybomb launcher alongside a shield.

I still don't think "but it can one-shot scouts!" is a reasonable complaint. So what? Don't get hit. The old Loch-n-load had some really massive drawbacks and it wasn't even very good. I don't like the demo changes, but they aren't crippling like the last attempt at nerfing him. Reducing the sticky explosion radius is fair, and reducing the damage variance on stickies is nice. The Quickiebomb Launcher looks like a voluntary nerf. Only 2 shots and they deal less damage? A big part of demo's power is having a stupid amount of explosives on hand.

So they went with a simpler look this time, more like the first series festives. Last year's festives went way too far in the festive direction. That Backburner is awful though.

You can't get a one hit kill anymore so basically you're trading rollers and a pipe for faster travel time. Also for real now, Scout doesn't need anything when it's already as strong as it is.

Yeah I saw that right after I posted. Realistically I think giving more shots works out worse for Scouts than "if literally nothing else has even slightly touched you, you won't die in one shot," but I guess we'll see how it works.
