Major Update Speculation XXX: cp_orange_x3 confirmed!

[Mifil]

As a medic main, I am so happy to see that now Crossbow can give us some percents of ubercharge on successful heal.
Also that tripled build time...amazing.

[ellistron]

i like that the changes have been to make helping teamates more often more rewarding

[Dragadur]

I'm pretty sure they got rid of the charged crits for the phlog in favor of the new system. I'll have to try it out.

Really?[/QUOTE]

Improving the airblast (as the stunlock had to go) at least counts as a little bit of a phlog nerf, seeing as its only downside now is the lack of airblast.

Jag and Rescue Ranger nerf? My aching heart...

But loads of these other changes are awesome. Loving some of those Medic changes in particular. And base switch speed increase is awesome. I don't like the skins though. Still gonna buy into it, but eh.

Well, you made it completely useless, thanks.

[QUOTE=165your4;49338176]Another year without new weapons. Thanks Valve![/QUOTE]

I'd rather have balance changes than new weapons. And what do you mean "another year", we got new weapons last year!

[Magypsy]

The Vaccinator was buffed. That's all I ever wanted.

...I will gladly take the Phlog buff, though. I fucking love that awful weapon.

[void~]

Man, with only 15 cosmetics, "Tough Break" is right.

[Lium]

Interesting, those are some nice changes. No weapons though? Come on.

[QUOTE=Jetamo;49338271]I'd rather have balance changes than new weapons. And what do you mean "another year", we got new weapons last year![/QUOTE]

Yes, but we've gone years without weapons before last year. Hence "another" year.

[QUOTE=Jojje;49338262]Well, you made it completely useless, thanks.[/QUOTE]

no, it was broken that quickfix users could stand on point and cap last while being healed crazy fast AS WELL AS not being bounced around at all.

[Fluury]

Did the Phlog get it's "full hp" thing removed?

If yes, thank fucking god.

Good changes to existing weapons > new weapons

ALL contributors must have a heart attack as of now (except for those who have their items seen in the update page).

[QUOTE=Void Skull;49338273]Man, with only 15 cosmetics, "Tough Break" is right.[/QUOTE]

Guess this confirms cosmetic tiers never left.

Could always try not going toe to toe with a pyro in melee range

[Scarfulhu]

[QUOTE=Void Skull;49338273]Man, with only 15 cosmetics, "Tough Break" is right.[/QUOTE]

This may be optimistic, but it seems a little odd to me to put Christmas cosmetics in a pink case adorned with leaves. There's also no mention of the items being festive. Just 'chic'.

So perhaps Naughty and Nice crates are still a thing?

[EmilyVasquez]

To be honest i disliked using the Vaccinator after the GM update, but i think i might go back to it after this update!

[Punchy]

It's a shame they seem to think heavy is fine how he is. Not only does he only ever get melee rebalances now, which are nothing more than appreciated at best, but they also neglect to adjust his countless revup nerfs or the fact that shotguns are downright deplorable on the class still.

[QUOTE=Jetamo;49338271]I'd rather have balance changes than new weapons. And what do you mean "another year", we got new weapons last year![/QUOTE]

We didn't get any weapons in 2013 either. Rebalances are great, but I don't see them as equal to (or better than) new weapons unless they significantly revamp how a weapon works (e.g. the Smissmass 2013 Soda Popper change).

[BuffaloHops]

[QUOTE=Jojje;49338262]Well, you made it completely useless, thanks.[/QUOTE]

A disappointing nerf for sure, but I'd hardly call it useless because of that.

No festive styled skins? It's smissmas after all.
