It sucks in TF2 when....(all 2Fort related)
Engies don't defend. They'll setup three-SG sewer traps, (that are ignored/avoided) but leave ramproom/courtyard totally undefended.
Engies don't help each other. Not only will they not help each other build/re-build sentries; they'll breeze by SGs and Dispensers in trouble without fixing em'.
Engies do stoopid stuff. They'll drop teles on ramps and stairs. They'll block SGs with dispensers or other SGs. They'll lay SGs in totally useless places or stack too many SGs in one spot.
Engies are lazy as Hell! These guys will do nothing but tank their guns. They'll sit for 20mins next to their SGs and dispensers doing nothing useful but whacking that wrench. They could be out scouting, spy checking, providing rear-guard for offensive pushes or setting up teles to the frontlines. Instead they just sit there, regardless whether an NME is nearby or not.
FWIW, I do play Engie a lot. It isn't my first choice, (I'm not really good at it) but somebody's gotta defend the shit and I usually choose the class that needs the most help. I know a lot of noobs see Engie as the "easy" gateway class to quick kills. Let the SG do all the work, etc. I've always gotten more kills with shotgun & melee wrench than with the SG.
