battalions makes hale weak, it's basically like an uber that charges in 3 or so crockets
I was on this one server where if you taunted with a medigun you would do an amputator heal, and during your uber the aura would uber other people, so everyone went medic rush and it was impossible for the hale and it was removed in like 2 days
anyway the logic is pretty much "nerf medic because I can't kill anyone as cave johnson if there's a medic around" as if you can't kill the medic first
still takes you like 4 swift hits to kill the buffed medic anyways
