Saxton Hell / A novel suggestion: Medic Crossbow nerf
« on: August 17, 2013, 07:09:22 pm »
Hey there,

Avid battle medic player in SH 1 (Mainly because so few folks want to play the class - unless suddenly a wild Cave Johnson appears. Then Pyros, Medics and Demos aplenty.) that has a rather strange request.

Damage nerf.

Currently at max trajectory it does 563 (I get this more often than one'd think) and the 20 point nerf honestly doesn't feel strong enough. (It used to be 583 until a couple of months ago. Multiple testing etc etc). I just don't think a medic should be able to outsnipe/outdamage a SNIPER.

I'm almost certain you did this to try to encourage folks to play medic more - it sorta worked. I see three medics at a time on a full server instead of 1-2. lol

Honestly max should be 450-475 range. Capped at 500 at least so machina snipers do 25 damage more per charged shot.

(I would also like to take this time to openly bitch/whine/complain about the crossbow reload speed nerf. I would happily sacrifice 100+ damage a shot to get my speed back. I'm aware this was on valve's side and not the server's, but I'm sure there's some way to tweak that nonsense.)

Thanks for even looking at this/possibly considering/telling me to sod off because I'm a noob/whatever.
