Aw c'mon, you guys have to admit that was a bit ridiculous, dropping sandwich for insta heal...
You still had to spin down before you could change weapons. Then you had to throw it and run over it.Quote:

I might go back to shotgun+minigun now.
It takes forever though to munch a full Sanvich that I might as well hang a "Free Kill" sign over my head. If they can allow us to eat a sanvich in chunks (aka can interrupt eating to continuing shooting), I may be more okay with the Sandvich change.Quote:

Who said I eat Sandvich out in the open? That's just ludicrous. It's just that those 3-4 seconds of not attacking/standing still means 3-4 seconds for someone to find me and score a kill. God help me if a Spy finds me while eating.Quote:

Surprised he didn't try to side-stab you. And yeah, so much more efficient to toss Sandvich to the ground and run over it to eat it, than to enjoy it for too long and then die. A big fat fridge logic moment in a way.Quote:

Seems to me that they did it to appease people that complain about the whole Tommy Gruvich set up which I never even used anyway.
Eating the Sandvich is just no good. If you are making a charge as a heavy you could just throw it down and continue onwards. Now you have to run back hide round a corner and probably end up just being killed anyway. Might as well just go pick up a health pack.
I would have preferred if they just nerfed the healing for picking it up, So you had the option to eat it if you wanted to heal more health. There are much more OP things in the game than the humble Sandvich, oh well.
There is a much greater evil with this patch anyway. They removed the trading system and replaced it with steam trading. I do like steam trading in principle but it’s so slow and gives errors all the time. Not to mention that if you play on a low resolution you can hardly see anything.
I feel the Sandvich nerf wasn't necessarily needed, but it made the Shotgun an actually viable secondary. Plus, the Sandvich still has a use in healing teammates (teamwork in a game called TEAM FORTRESS? Shenanigans!)
All-in-all, it keeps the Heavy from being a one-man army and encourages teamwork. Plus the Shotgun is actually useful again for Heavy, so there's that too.
Then again, I don't play Heavy much, so maybe I'm wrong and an idiot.
Yeah now you can't be a Scout-heavy anymore, and it sucks. Whenever your team sucks you can't play a class that relies on teamwork (like medic). Being bound to working with your team sucks.Quote:

I'm still pissed that they decide to nerf this instead of other OP combos/classes.
For those that don't know, don't forget to go and get your free Black Rose.

Regardless of it functioning just like the stock knife, I'm sure it'll be worth something later on. Also very nice to look at.
That's quite a pretty knife, guess I may as well grab it since the game's free. Will probably never use it sadly, I use a Strange Knife.
Sandvich change is good, means it'll finally be used as intended again.
You mean it won't be used at all.Quote:

90% damage reduction while eating the sandvich. just call it soviet spirit or something.
The knife is very sexy and the fact you can change its style is a bonus. Too bad I’ll never actually use it though.
That... would be genius.Quote:
