Went heavy, saw scout rushing towards me, gun started spinning, but then that ball hits my head. He charges in, gets his Force a Nature, shoots me twice point blank AND THERE YOU GO. DEAD HEAVY, DIED AGAINST A CLASS HE WAS SUPPOSED TO DOMINATE. |

Quote NaughtyMe wrote: I played Heavy for a little while last night and it's like being back to zero in terms of his ability. I know there are loads of Scouts at the moment which is swaying things a little bit. But the Heavy is just a magnet now - he's slow and a large target. The Scout can get close and although the stun is quite short any wind up on the chaingun is wiped out by the stun. Ubers are also fucked. You try and destroy a little sentry nest as an ubered demo - upblast from Pyros I can take, but to be stunned in an invulnerable state is just stupid. The moment your stunned not only does every single player pile on you (demos lay nice little sticky nests around your feet!) but you are left vunerable to the very nest you were about to destroy. That only takes 1 little Scout to fuck you over... I could take the stun occasionally during normal play (apart from the Heavy), but an UBER - get the fuck out of it! I think if your being healed stun shouldn't work, would be much better  |

The new sounds are only for the scout. Let's hope they make that for the others classes too. After some matches its really annoying to play against scouts. It's not only the stunning but also when you get hit by the FaN you are a moment unnable to move or aim, its just like a mini stun. Really annoying. But overall its more useful that i had thought....

The ability to stun normal ubers is flat out wrong and is going to see the sandman banned from competitive tf2 in all likelihood.  If you're a heavy walking along on your own with the minigun out you deserve to get owned tbh, you could have avoided it if you had just had your own shotgun out.  |

I bet they'll remove the uber stun in a week or two, just like they did with the backburner's +50hp boost. |

Don't talk shit - you can be running with your shotgun out, but you're still a huge, slow moving, balding fat bastard who is an easy target. click->  <-clickJoin me in Tribes 2: [url]https://account.hirezstu |

Its not hard now for a bunch of scouts to know when a medic/s are ready to start the charge for a knockout push to get past a choke point. Great reason for having a choke point is that the OP team has to work together to use a uber well. But on the plus side a none double jumping scout is so easy to kill now by most class am sure the = measure will be felt over time. If a scout does nt cut it in the team it very much felt by the other classes as they are picking up its slacking. |

Too right totally agree also people who play scouts and moan bout defense being terrible when theres 6 scouts on red and dont change class annoy the crap out of me i was soo close to the ban button at that time

Sandman definitely needs some tweaking, though I've had some of the best fun on tf2 in ages running after baseballs in the past few days Long-distance stun + fan doubleshot is pretty satisfying really. Stunning someone and letting a sniper on your team take them out is pretty amazing too lol. They really need to remove it on ubers though, far too easy to hit an ubered medic/heavy etc. |

Yeah I don't really have an issue with the sandman apart from it affecting ubers which just seems excessive. I mean being stunned normally is annoying, but I can take that (especially when the number of scouts running around decreases to more normal levels), but messing with something as crucial to the dynamic of the game as ubers doesn't strike me as a great idea. I also find it odd that they introduced Egypt/Junction in the same update as the sandman as these are both defence biased maps anyway and pretty much require an uber to break choke strangleholds... which now has a very low chance of succeeding with all the baseballs flying around. |

the uber ability has been minced, grounded rubbed into a dust and spread across a delicious scout pudding
