Re: Plugin Proposal - Disabling Sandman - Loqutus - 03-12-2009
I voted no. Valve will fix it soon enough... I feel patient enough to deal with the stupidly-powerful-baseball-to-the-head weapon until then.

Most pubbers are rape bait for me with their double jumps. They either don't use it or are horridly predictable.

If it is removed. I will rage and probably never play again.

Unless you're just raging.

I vote yes, for one server. Try it out and take in the info, how people feel about it in practice.

You guys are not very tolerant.
I vote NO.
You guys realise that the weapon makes it impossible to double jump, right? You all know the average pub player can't do shit without double jumps.
the average pub player cant do shit with double jump either

The average pub player -can- do something with a 6 second long stun from medium range. See also: Kill your ass with a stupidly borked weapon. They're too stupid to use double jump correctly, but not too stupid to press mouse 1 a few times.

That was radio's and my point.

Let's say, RED Team's got 2 engies, both with Lvl 3 sentrys and dispensers. Â They also have a heavy with Natascha on Spy-checking duty, as the RED engies have contracted tunnel vision and are busy humping their turrets. BLU team's got 2 scouts, both with the Sandman. Also, BLU has a Spy, waiting to strike. Â BLU Scouts paralyze the Heavy and one of the Engies, This leaves the BLU Spy to do what Spies do best.
I've been able to take out multiple sentries as a pyro with no medic and coordinating with one spy. Pocket heavy just means that aren't going to live through it.
Besides, I think Bonk fills the roll of distraction far better than sandman could, and isn't cheap in the process.

I think i should have been a bit more clear. The RED Scout's coming from BLU battlements and has jumped to the covered bridge.
Re: Plugin Proposal - Disabling Sandman - Wedge - 03-13-2009
Anyways, it's been nerfed now, so possibly a non-issue anymore.

No, stun is still incredibly annoying. Though if anyone's thoughts have changed they should edit their vote before Sunday.

Re: Plugin Proposal - Disabling Sandman - cannedpeahes - 03-13-2009
It doesn't read well.
Re: Plugin Proposal - Disabling Sandman - CaffeinePowered - 03-15-2009
Well, it looks like its barely passed, but it also has been nerfed, there really isn't a mandate to ban the thing, even on #1
We'll revisit this if its ever deemed necessary, thanks to everyone who voted.
Re: Plugin Proposal - Disabling Sandman - Badgerman of DOOM - 03-15-2009
So if I am understanding correctly, it passed, but the nerf makes the vote null?

What nerf?
Nevermind...
Checked in update logs, I didn't notice any patch...
Re: Plugin Proposal - Disabling Sandman - Badgerman of DOOM - 03-15-2009
From what I understand, Sandman was nerfed.
