Bit of a correction at 8:14 where I say that pulling out the Wrangler increases the effective health of the sentry gun by 66%. The correct percentage on that is actually 300%. 66% is the amount of damage resistance, not the effective health increase, and I got the numbers mixed up. Sorry for the confusion.
Also, the damage number at 9:10 is incorrect. You'd end up doing around the same amount of damage to a tanked Wrangled sentry, but the time required to do so would be a lot longer (assuming the same heavy DPS to engineer healing was in play). Regardless, too many other factors basically ruin the entire point of the added note. The clip was included to show how tanky a sentry gun can be without using the Wrangler, so I'm not sure why I even attempted to mention the effect a Wrangler would have on the situation. Again, apologies for the confusion. Math is literally my worst subject, dunno why I even try to make sense of it.

I got a neat tip for any Engineers out there. The wrangler is great for pointing out enemies your team has not noticed yet. I find it surprising how often teammates attack those I mark with the laser beam. Many take notice and look at what you're aiming at and many will assist and help you kill the threat. Keep this in mind if you want to bring potentially troublesome enemies to your team's attention. They're attracted to that laser beam like cats.

I think a 75% decrease to self-damage would be fine, but totally free Sentry-Jumps for the cost of merely equipping Engineer's most versatile secondary (which you were probably gonna be using anyways) would be a little OP I think, even without the Shield. But at least with a 75% decrease, you can still do a few good Sentry Jumps/Sentry Boosts but you have to pace yourself and not get carried away or else you might find yourself way outta position with less than optimal health.

[@jeremyminecraft7145]

Love the fact that you understand 'effective health.' I've never seen anyone else actually understand damage resistance properly, and calculate it properly.

[@Eye_Of_Odin978]

Yeah, he's got a good mind for stuff like that. I really wish people would do more of that thinking when they talk balance, like instead of comparing numbers to numbers on true health and damage they should focus on Time-To-Kill and Effective Health of certain classes and weapons. Time-to-kill and Effective Health are often ignored when discussing balance in videogames for some reason, which baffles me because those are pretty much the two most important aspects of game balance. Yes, Risk vs Reward is also a cornerstone, but for most weapons, it's RvR is determined by a few things, and TTK should be one of them. If a weapon can chew through everyone's Effective Health with little effort and has a short TTK, it's overpowered.

[@jjp_arxys2001]

I feel like a good way to balance the shield without removing it would be to make it so that it has to power up, in a sense. So for example, when you first pull out the weapon, it has no shield, but having the century wrangled for a second or so gives it a a weak shield of sorts, and the longer you have the shield out the stronger it gets, which caps at the 66% that it’s at now. This makes it so that to get any defensive benefits from the wrangler, you have to commit to a defense of play style.

[@Game-ne5nb]

This is actually similar to my idea of a rebalance to the Wrangler's shield. I think they should just make it so that the Wrangler starts off with a 30% shield resistance to all incoming attacks instead of 66%. Then make it so that it's shield resistance increases by 1% per second. Finally make it so that the shield resistance increases by 2% per bullet you hit on an enemy and 6% per rocket hit to encourage Engineers to actually attack with the Wrangler instead of just abusing the shield. I think an upside of "50% faster switch-to speed" or just a 50% faster activation speed for the Wrangler should be added because of the downside just to make it easier to clutch with. Also remove the aim assist, it's just annoying.

I understand a developer stand point when it comes to balance, and the idea of a sentry jumper is GENIUS! Though lowering the shield to 33% isn’t too bad since it’ll only have a more reasonable health boost, 3x health is dumb, but the 33% won’t make it as bad!

But here comes the catch: The opposing team, the RED team, was offensive af, and was trying super hard to cap the last intel. So i took care of 'em. The frickin' bubble managed to tank multiple ubers, even if the uber target was a demo or a solider. I was also accompanied by a second engie, on the second floor. Then they went super rage mode, saying things like "remove the wrangler from your inventory", "engie presses 2 on their keyboard" and such. The arguments went on, and then the truth has been revealed to me. The RED team was bullying us, the BLU team, by, like i said, being super aggresive, and ruining the fun for us, and then i joined. By my context it seems like i was some kind of blessing to the BLU team, a punishiment to the RED team. Best part that they were so focused on destroying my sentry, a scout backcapped them twice and we won. All beacause of some TV remote.

I think splitting it with the wrangler you suggested, and a seperate almost short circuit style pistol where you can shoot using metal a shield that adds either resistance or just an e yea health, without healing core sentry, and adding just 50 percent fire speed to it. Like maybe the overcharge or something making a sentry more powerful for a time at the cost of doing anything else with your metal.

[@derpfrancis]

I do believe you forgot one point about the Wrangler that's handy for the Engie. THE SENTRY MAKES NO NOISE WHATSOEVER. Unless you're making it fire, it, essentially, becomes Sentry Bond. That is, you can place it down around a corner, hid the laser dot, and wait for the enemy. Normally, whenever the sentry changes visual direction, it beeps, and when an enemy is within range, it beeps three times. However, with the Wrangler, it is quieter than a mouse. Enemies require visual confirmation within enemy-occupied zones and front lines. If they see an Engie, they can assume he has a nest somewhere. Once they see a sentry, then the Flight or Fight Response kicks in. They either go in guns blazing or retreat to a safe distance, waiting for backup. Audio ques from the sentry make it easier to identify its location without visual confirmation. But since the Wrangler silences the sentry, you can blow those dumb looks right off their stupid faces.

[@Duskets]

This is why I like and respect Dane: his love of Engineer as a class comes second to his love of the game. He’d rather see his favorite class nerfed if it makes for a better overall game and I find that really respectable.

[@birchpc]

I can't see engineer being relevant whatsoever in competitive if the Wrangler gets the Nerf he suggested

[@LeviForWaifu]

@@birchpc 6's already bans the Wrangler. Highlander would still have the advantage of increased DPS and range, And the sentry can save itself from stickytraps with rockets pushback and bullet damage.

[@birchpc]

@@LeviForWaifu 6s bans next to fucking everything. They don't like any other class than the main 4 even playing. People don't recognize that the Wrangler is meant to excel when you're dealing with 1 enemy. Any coordinated team doesn't have a problem pushing through a sentry, infact in comp people usually use uber to push through the enemy team and destroying the sentry after. If you can't rescue ranger your sentry, it let's the enemy get a lot of momentum since you can't defend your hold without a sentry.

[@LeviForWaifu]

@@birchpc Wouldn't happen to have up voted your own comment, would you? They don't "not like" the other 4 playing, they're just not viable for long periods of time or outside their niche. Exactly as you said, sentries are a joke to any coordinated team, and minis are even laughable in pubs. Minis are the only viable option in 6s highly dynamic 5CP and it puts the team at a massive diasadvantage giving up one scout. Once Dragons Fury is unbanned pyro can be reasonably well used with Thermal Thruster, Sniper is common to see in chokes, Heavy on last holds, etc. In short, you react like most HL fanboys do and assume that 6's doesn't run your favorite class out of spite or anger to it. This is something Danes officially rebuked before. And I am a HL fanboy as Engineer/Pyro player. Yes, a sentry is a joke to any team with their monitors connected. It's meant to be that way. In 6s the 650 health is just absolutely unacceptable for the 3 players able to damage it effectively. The Wrangler is still a bit too powerful in Highlander as it enables infinite spyxhecks nullifying YER and other options, granting infinite range, and still being a braindead damage sponge nearly impossible to destroy with shield out without a spy. I main engineer. Trust me. I've considered this.

[@birchpc]

@@LeviForWaifu No I don't like my own comments, what are trying to say? I don't have a problem with them banning the Wrangler, it's just a stupid point to use 6s as an argument.

[@loganswalk8621]

I think increasing the disabled time could work as it would make it more of a investment to wangle your sentry and make eliminating the engineer more of a priority but do think decreasing the damage reduction is better than completely getting rid of it as sentries are a bit easy when every one is shooting it so have some damage reduction makes the engineer's life a little easier.

This is so true. As someone who often abuses the Wrangler I can tell it shreds the enemy if correctly used. I lasted 3 ubercharges thrown at me by a medic and a heavy, dominated a two scouts and was killing demomen in the vent above me in the Intel room. It was on turbine. I made the mistake thought of pressing the wrong key to early and I lifted the sentry up instead of using the rockets. You can guess what happened then -
