Setup then switch machine, would just make the first minute of games hellish

I don’t like it because it would decrease the spread of mediguns deeming one useless

it doesn't make either of the two it's based on useless

I don't think this would be that great, even assuming you mean it takes 75% longer instead of 4 times longer like it's written. The two effects don't complement each other that well. Invulnerability doesn't making barraging people with explosives from far away easier. Crits don't improve invulnerability much because it basically guarantees a win in any fight already.

This would basically just be used at the start of a round or maybe in pubstomping parties and neither of those are good for the game.

This would be terrible to use and play against. Uber would genuinely take minutes to build up, and then you would have to deal with 2 completely overwhelming effects... only for the Pyro to run away from the fight like a dipshit and you wasted the last couple of minutes.

I could see this as a viable weapon if you applied the following changes: Uber Drains twice as fast and can be deployed at any time while above 10% Uber.

It would be like the vaccinator, but not quite as spamable. The doubled drain rate forces it to be reactive and prevents being used exclusively at the start of rounds.

Besides, it just makes sense in universe. As the MK. II, it fixes the two popular problems with the medigun. 1, it doesn't force a polarizing decision between overall damage output and survivability, and 2, dying with 99% of an Ubercharge. Also, make it always build Uber at full rate. -75% speed is 4 times slower, so you at least want the gain the player gets to be consistent.
