I voted Yes.

Mostly the ability to completely stop ubers, yes knockback from other weapons and airblast hinder ubers, but they don't completely nullify them.
Apart from that, being stunned just isn't fun. Feels to me like it's completely against Valves philosophy.

I didn't vote, because my opinion isn't up there. I think it needs to be changed, but the principal is sound. Sacrificing the doublejump is major, so you should get some decent compensation to counterweight it. I think rather then binary stunning, it should blur vision at short distance and, at longer ranges, the victim looses the ability to shoot. This way, the stun is gone, the loss of control is gone which is the most beef people still have with it, but still makes the victim vunerable. You CAN still run, there is a chance that you're going to get away, but it will be based on how skillful your running away skills are, coupled with how good a shot the scout is to hit you at distance with the ball. My 2cent.

I think it's just its over-using by scouts atm is the only problem, should be fine when normal scout numbers return.

I'm not entirely opposed to this feature. I think it fits very well with the 'character of the scout' but I do feel it's overpowered. The stun length should be reduced, though still variable according to how far the ball has travelled. I do strongly believe though that it should not be allowed to stun either partner that is in an uber.

If they are invulnerable to all other types of physical attack, a shield that provides protection from rockets and minigun rounds. Then a baseball ought to fall into the same catergory. I also feel that the uber relationship should be sacred, as a reward for teamwork, the driving forces behind this team game.

I voted "No, It's fine" but in some respects I do think it is over powered. I think in normal gameplay it's fine and fair tbh, but I do think something should be done about it stunning uber.

Perhaps, as Hzza suggested for a normal stun, rather than stop them all together, perhaps it should just blur their vision for a short period. Seems much fairer. Plus would mean I would stop targeting the medic when facing an uber, leaving him behind and his uber-partner running into his death Cheesy

I'd rather of had it deliver some hardcore knockback but since they gave knockback to the FAN instead it's a bit of a lost cause. I'm undecided at current- stun's a royal pain but it's not all that common. Perhaps they could lower (or get rid of) the stun time at shorter range a bit more.

I'm not a fan (predictably, those who mostly play scout think it's awesome, and those who play medic/soldier/heavy hate it!). Of course there are a lot more scouts than normal now, but I've seen good teams with medics/heavies/etc held back by six scouts on some maps too. If having several scouts actually *works*, then to me it's a balance problem that needs to be fixing.

Not allowing stun on ubers would be a good start.

When we played a match on friday, their scout could stop all our ubers because he was a good shot and could always get the medic. It was way too powerful in my opinion, not gamebreaking, but eliminates the tactic of using ubers, which is crucial to tf2 gameplay when attacking.
