[QUOTE=BlindSniper17;49952927]Damn, it's been that long since our last new melee?!?[/QUOTE]
Last new melee with stats. Bat Saber and Crossing Guard were the last two reskins, iirc.
I'd rather have weapon rebalances than put more weapons on the shitpile
fix what we have, then we can talk about adding new ones
The melee slot is the prime example of why weapon balancing is objectively superior to shoveling more shit onto the shit pile. Pretty much every class has a couple valid melee choices and then a heap of trash like the Sun-on-a-Stick and the Third Degree.

but you can view it from another perspective. melee items require the least effort because they don't need special animations and they barely impact the game balance-wise (since guns get everything done)

this gets said so much but it never happens.
Well, our last 2 major updates were soley based on weapon balances, so Id be shocked if they didn't touch any this year. We got a whole lot of it last year, and I expect a whole lot more this year
If you want to count major rebalances that essentially made whole new, fun weapons out of things that used to be totally worthless, then the last new melees we got were the Big Earner and the Jag back in Gun Mettle. Those items might as well have not existed at all before they got buffed.
[QUOTE=G=4//\/\3!2;49952219]Yes but that's scientific shit
and as for bad skins

It just looks like a bad saturation job[/QUOTE]
The stock of the gun is teamcolored.

Reminder that Medic's total weapon count is only 3 higher than Soldier's total number of secondary weapons.

Which brings us back around to the point, Valve needs to stop adding new shit they're just gonna break later on, they need to update the game, Update Guns, Stats *cough* *cough* cosmetics *cough* *cough*, They just need to fix the game. Now you might be wondering "G stop being a hippocratical neckbeard and actually do something instead of you sitting there and being a lazy fuck, AND WHILE YOUR AT IT GET A JOB AND MOVE OUT ME AND YOUR FATHER ARE WORRIED" in which case I would reply that I have, however A. Valve doesn't listen to the community, and B. Sv_Pure kills mods.

Speaking of that, it's weird that we now have weapons that are specifically red or blue too, such as the blue mew or shot to hell skins.
It's a shame that Valve are breaking team colouring on weapons (outside of initially only the Fire Axe)
There's also that bug where normal weapons change team colouring if they're picked up, but skinned weapons don't.

They also don't change if you use a r_skin to change team colours (for example, in a hud or whatever). Other weapons and festive lights do, but skins won't. Wouldn't surprise me if it was directly related.

With the Breakneck Baggies getting so much hype by players in pubs, along with the Shot By Hell and Blue Mew Skins, its getting very difficult to tell what teams players are on in the average pun without staring for a good few seconds.

I sent Eric an email about this 3 days ago.
I'd like to think this was me that made this finally happen.
Well, since there's been an update, Stress Test soon, then?
kinda curious what they did to the cute suit, it looked fine

Looks like they added a Team Status, Match Status and a Time Panel.

But [I]why on Engi though?[/I]
Also were these awful things always around because I'm fairly certain at least my HUD's class profiles looked a lot different than this pre-update.
