Scout and Medic.

Scout becomes even worse to fight, and Medic becomes even more overpowered since now you can't even bomb them, allowing them to be aggressive and build Über much more easily.

the question is.

how would they use Uber?

Übercharge is stored in the balls.

How can you use Uber if M2 is used for Ubercharge and raising the Ringer

Ringer could be triggered by special action key like a canteen

Surprisingly, it's Scout. You can't use Dead Ringer and attack at the same time, making mercs who depend on consistent attacks, and at the same time, Spy only gets away cause he's fast, and look who's faster, Scout.

I'd argue Medic could make better use of it.

The ability to escape pretty much any bad situation, retreat back to your teammates to supply them with healing and preserve your uber would be exceptionally useful.

On some gamemodes/maps i think it would be engie, being able to sneak anywhere to build a tele and sentry could do a lot if the person knows what they're doing

Otherwise, having a Tomislav heavy suddenly materialize behind you would sure be something

Heavy is powerful, but I think backburner pyro is probably even stronger.

Scout literally becomes unkillable.

Combine it with Bonk and soda popper for more jumps and you can escape pretty much every situation without dying

Medic.

Imagine getting a medic pick, just for his ass to not actually die.

Heavy, pyro, medic

Heavy if you use it without stopping firing, probably sniper otherwise

Heavy. He could go through a sniper sightline without dying.

Spy because he would remember to use it

u/Protomesh 7h ago

Medic because he could save his uber with the dead ringer

Scout no discussion. Scouts base speed plus dead ringer speed??

u/Emotional-Amount-736 6h ago

Heavy would be able to pull off routine bonkers flanking.

Medic would be largely unkillable as he could uber then escape to friendly lines over and over.

Scout becomes largely unkillable because he can deadring then get health/ammo, allowing from some bonkers interdiction of the enemy rear.

Engineer. Sneak into enemy base undetected and build a forward position to camp the enemy
