Oops, you can't say the victims were bad players here.

[OmegaZero_Alpha]

Yeah you can.

Any weapon that leaves you vulnerable to a one-shot-kill from the sniper's SMG isn't overpowered, and if a weapon that allows you to sneak up on people and hit them once to kill then then the Ambassador and Spy-knife are overpowered as shit, because you don't have to be below 20 hp for them to be effective.

[Hell-met]

Yeah you can.

ESEA-I S5 tournament finalists?

No.

[glouch]

yeah that video definitely shows that the equalizer is overpowered, or at least needs a nerf for competitive play.

[Hell-met]

It already is "nerfed" in comp play, because it doesn't have random crits.

See how just powerful the thing is in pubs?

[Deadbolt]

extremely effective, funny as shit when it happens in comp.

[Snarf]

This is news? I was pretty sure this is why only certain unlockable's were allowed in comp play. Pyro unlocks, medic and heavy unlocks etc. But none of the solly or demoman ones because theyre op as hell. Those league players were good but i've seen far better in #tf2pug.(not saying i'm better)

Guys I made a video with a compilation of all my good sniper rifle kills. Sniper rifle is OP.

Yeah, I'd love to see a video of all the attempted equalizer kills getting rejected, would probably be 10 times longer.

One of those won the tournament though, and many had pretty big impacts in games. I don't think that a soldier should be able to win a game with 3 cheap melee kills, where he really should have died.

In addition to no random crits, I think the equalizer should start the soldier off with an initial move speed penalty.
