Demo/Soldier Update

[Shankstah]

I'm pretty sure the targe resistances are way too op, plus coupled with the the range of the sword, guaranteed nerf;

2nd time trying the unlocks;

[Butane]

equalizer is the new KGB - the best melee in the game

so true.

[Ranma]

update now claimed they fixed the spy watch consumption rates. Glad to hear it was a screw up and not just a huge DR nerf.

Don't talk like I don't know what I'm doing, I shoot people with pipes all the time, but if I am already in melee range of a soldier then using pipe launcher instead of a melee weapon is stupid. And how would it be different if I shot them with pipes first? If I get them to almost dead then try to finish with the eyelander but they can still just one shot me?

The idea that a soldier with equalizer should never be approached by any class regardless of the weapon is stupid and is why the equalizer needs a nerf. Just making the argument that nobody should get in melee range of someone wielding the equalizer, as if THAT is the best solution, is backing up the argument it is overpowered.

Unknown, your condescension belies your ignorance.

I think the sword is fine but the damage reductions do feel too high.

[Drunken F00l]

So because one weapon works good agains someonet with another means it needs a nerf?

[Kaylee]

Drunken F00l: i don't understand how you think that one weapon needs to be balanced versus every other
Drunken F00l: there will be some it is good against
Drunken F00l: and some it is bad against
Kittehlee: there is nobody it is bad against
Kittehlee: it makes soldier way too deadly in melee against everyone
Kittehlee: there's no drawback
Kittehlee: nobody it's worse against than anyone else
Drunken F00l: drawback is if you one shot the soldier, he dies
Kittehlee: 1. you don't have to be low health to use it
Kittehlee: the times that make me most mad is when I'm hitting the soldier and he's missing me but he finally hits me at low health
Kittehlee: he coudl've hit all the times before that too
Kittehlee: and another thing he isn't FORCED to use that weapon
Kittehlee: he can shoot rockets and shotgun just fine
Kittehlee: and whip it out when he wants
Kittehlee: but he is ALWAYS overpowered in melee range with it

[Drunken F00l]

Well as long as we're posting things said on Steam chat:

[Hell-met]

Drawback is immediate failure and death if you attempt to use it at full health since you will be juggled like no other

[unknown]

not being condescending. just trying to communicate the fact that in my experience, what you're saying isn't true.
