It's weird. This is one of the only games where if people hack, players will perk up and actually go spectate when they die and attempt to confirm and kick them if need be.

QwertySanchez posted:They can't really do anything with it other than the widowmaker so it'd be just some other ammo pool. Unless when pyros used it it ate their flamethrower ammo. That'd be a pretty neat mechanic. Have the pyromaker use mmmph instead of metal. Give heavy a secondary that's just a mini dispenser strapped to his back that has like twice the range and half the heal/ammo rate of a lvl 1. A melee called the Pootis Puncher that lets you charge up a mega heal burst equivalent to a lvl 3 dispenser if you have the backpack. Let heavy be fat engie AND fat medic.

Galaxander posted:The family business is pretty much an upgrade to the stock shotgun. It's inconsequential on the heavy because, as you pointed out, the other secondary options are far more useful generally. On another class, it could be an issue. Don't really see how it would be an issue, yeah it's technically better but not really in a way that would be all that noticeable on the large scale QwertySanchez posted:Yeah, I've been saying for years that a few classes should be able to switch out their primary weapon for another secondary. There could be some interesting synergies (jarate and smg, shotgun and buff banner, food and shotgun, crit cola and a pistol/cleaver if you're a melee superstar) while giving the big downside of not having a primary weapon, they'd totally balance out for scout, soldier, pyro, sniper, engy and heavy. I don't really think it would work for classes besides Heavy(as the loss in range would be made up by an increase in both burst damage and mobility), especially in regards to Sniper as you forget that his SMG's are mediocre(indeed the only guns in the game that are probably outright worse are the Righteous Bison, the Manmelter, the Babyface's Blaster, and the Backscatter) IronicDongz posted:what you mean: shotgun and then food in secondary slot Honestly that would probably be a really bad idea for a lot of reasons

I guess the sniper would be a bad one, yeah. I just really wanna try going cleaner's carbine, jarate and bushwacka. Sniper needs a new SMG. Maybe one that synergises with the bazaar bargain so the more heads you've got the faster it fires or more accurate it is. Or maybe just minicrits on headshots. Give it the ambassador's spread. Or work the widowmaker mechanic into it, every bullet that hits an enemy has a chance to put one back into the magazine.

The syringe guns are all amazing at doing damage the trick is though you have to be running backwards.

Maybe make it have a burst fire mechanic, one of the main problems with the two existing SMG's is that they have incredibly piss poor accuracy, so they don't even make for very good backup weapons for Sniper most of the time(literally the only time I use one is the Cleaner's Carbine with the Huntsman cause of the latter's small ammo pool, not to mention they sync together surprisingly well in regards to the former's Crikey mechanic), so one that is a lot more accurate would be much more practical, not sure what additional gimmicks or downsides it would have though

Sniper needs a boomerang and blow dart primary. Both projectiles. Boomerang comes back the instant it hits something so it can be spammed in close range. Blow dart does same damage as a charged huntsman shot, no head shots, marks for death. I have so many stupid weapon ideas for side grades.

Blow dart does same damage as a charged huntsman shot, no head shots, marks for death. I used to think about the practicality of a mjolnir-esque primary for soldier that would be a big fuckoff hammer he could throw with a similar mechanic. Have it basically work otherwise like the direct hit, minus the airshot thing. Minicrits on anything it hits on it's way back.

OxySnake posted:Ban the Razorback imo. Extremely difficult to salvage weapon. Fully passive, huge hindrance to the alleged counter to sniper. It's so wild how different the understanding of the sniper was in the early days of the game vs. how it actually is now. Expectation: Snipers main job will be killing overhealed heavies. Probably won't be able to reliably headshot many other classes. Definitely in constant danger from spies due to being scoped in most of the time. Reality: If a medic peeks around the corner it is deleted. Spies are a hail-mary at best.

It's so wild how different the understanding of the sniper was in the early days of the game vs. how it actually is now. like the danger shield the only way to save the razorback is to make it do something completely different from what it did originally. Not that the danger shield is good now, it's actually mostly useless, but that's much better for the overall game than what it did before. at this point they should just make it do something stupid, like unleashing a big electricity blast behind you every couple of seconds while you're scoped like a huo-long heater or something or just make it a demoknight shield that lets you do charges with your melee weapon but requires you to get headshots to refill the meter

He can load rockets into a glove that propel him the way he’s looking. The more rockets he loads the farther he travels and the more damage he does.
