Over nerfed?
You guys know how much I hate scouts, but does anyone else think they've really utterly done in the sandman? I don't see anyone using it almost ever. Actually I saw one guy using it today and he assisted me in stunning some single celled heavy, but I don't see it wielded like I see, say the Kritz or Sascha (Two very well balanced unlocks, I think)

Aye, the half damage nerf pretty much sealed the deal, seeing as you already lose your double jump. Now since there's not many situations to use it effectively, seems almost pointless to use it most of the time  |

The only use for it now (ironically) is to stun ubers; the thing people were most pissed off about. The half damage thing was a total over nerf, but I'm glad they did it as it was a shit unlock in the first place!

I'm not for taking away control of the character so I think it's fair that it's gone.

They should remove the ability to stun ubers. In order of that I think its ok when they re-remove the 50% damage nerf. |

I'd rather they just made it a normal melee weapon; give back the double jump, slow the swing speed, give less damage and let you throw the ball with the secondary and have it ONLY stun ubers.

They nerfed it so that when you're stunned you only take 50% damage from ANY attacker. |

........and taunt kill aparently, as they don't instakill they do 600 damage this gets halved to 300 so a buffed heavy could technically survive a hadoken. |

It's in a video somewhere... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SqBulsUSNKo&feature=channel_page and it's a lie. 1:05 to be exact...people on the steam forums are douches. No wait forget that, video was made before the nerf...might still be true. |
