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.

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.

-No random crits

[@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.

[@Darkest_Hour]

3 beeps is because its a level 3 gun, the number of beeps is equal to the sentry's level.

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.

[@Pendoulia]

Honestly even a 50% decrease would probably be more than optimal.... or maybe even making it so the Engineer gets shielded from his own Sentry at the cost of metal whenever the Wrangler is equipped

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.

@@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.

Aight, everyone has their little stories, so here's mine: I was once in a 2fort server on casual, went engie, set up a nest on the first floor. 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 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.

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.

I definitely think that the Wrangler needs to be rebalanced as like you said, giving a Sentry over 600 health with the flick of a button isn’t really a balanced mechanic. I wouldn’t mind your suggestion of removing the shield in favour of giving you not taking damage from your Sentry but if we want to keep the shield, then I would suggest that after the shield takes enough damage, the shield breaks and can’t be reactivated until the Sentry gets destroyed or you die. I think this would make it more balanced overall. 9:24 *O O F*

Important note that you forgot to mention: Instead of the engineer pressing 2, the engineer has to be left alone for 30 seconds + in order to pull this off. One of the best things to deal with wrangled sentry: Spy sap Engineer is basically the proximity minefield of TF2, if you die to sentries is mostly due to you just walking into it, and as I've said countless times, everything is good against bad players. I think the Wrangler is fine as it is. Applying enough pressure will take either the engy or the sentry down. The sentry counts as a second player. So when you are 1v1 an engineer + his sentry, you are in reality 1v2 and you don't really win fights that are 2v1. If the sentry is being bullet sponged, that means it doesn't shoot, if it doesn't shoot it means you can walk forward and occupy the space and pressure the engineer. Bad players don't know this, but then again anything is good against bad players.

[@SolarLight]

Bear in mind that the Engineer can also use teamwork just as the Medic can use teamwork. Meaning it really isn't that difficult for an Engineer to build his sentry nest if he's doing it in a sensible spot and has at least a few teammates nearby. The strat of sapping a sentry is also much harder when Engi's teammates are near, unlike in low-skilled environments. Meaning you're left with the whole "pushing into enemy sentry and doing 1000 damage versus just pressing 2". Anything you say about needing more teamwork or skill to counter the Wrangler can also apply to the Engineer and his own team for defending the Wrangled gun. Just sap the gun? Just use a Pyro to defend the gun. Just use a Heavy? Just snipe or shoot the Heavy. Just spam it from a distance? Just counter-spam the common sentry-sniping locations and airblast the projectiles. Is the gun being tanked and not shooting, so want take ground and pressure the Engineer? Get airblasted and get shot at by the gun again! It's a circular argument. Arguing "anything is good against bad players" or "get better at the game and you'll see" is just that, a circular argument. At the end of the day it just comes down to how easily the Engineer is able to get such power, and we have to consider what the Engineer gains versus what he loses. What does he lose for using the Wrangler? Not much at all. What does he gain? A lot. Which begs the question - Does Engineer need the Wrangler to be effective? Does the Pistol need a buff? I really don't think so. A regular unwrangled sentry gun is such a good tool for defense if it is properly maintained by you and teammates. If we look at the Engineer himself, what does he lose for gaining the ability to build things that no other class can? Among other downsides, he loses access to good secondary weapons, which almost every other class has access to. It's a form of counter-balancing. The Wrangler, in my opinion, is too strong to be a balanced Engineer secondary weapon because lacking good secondaries should be one of the downsides of Engineer, much like lacking 65 damage melee is a downside of Scout or how lacking hitscan is a downside of Demo. The Engineer has three good slots: His melee and his PDAs. He doesn't need his primaries and secondaries to be super amazing on top of that. The Wrangler is so strong that it could have been a primary slot item for the Engineer and I would have been more accepting of it. Because at least then, the cost of using the Wrangler would be much heavier. Literally making the Engi himself almost defenseless in exchange for a super sentry that acts as the main defense.

[@MoreSeaweedMedleyDear]

Any scenario boils down to a coordinated 2 against 1 sentry, all because you pressed 2 in response. Plus, the shield problem gets magnified when you add the rescue ranger. It's so easy to be left alone when you're far away from your gun pressing 2 and pumping healing bolts into your gun. The shield should not have the passive effect when the wrangler isn't being used.

[@sz_b_zstechnix7523]

@@SolarLight I understand your "circular argument" with all of the class counters. I never play HL because I enjoy 6s alot more and therefore I can't say alot about what counters the wrangler 100% (Since wrangler is whitelisted in 6s ETF2L and UGC I'm not familiar with. Except for pub players using it) I find it to be true that scout is the best class ever, and if you are a great scout in 6s you will counter everything. I'd like to say the same here in HL. Imagine being a good demoman with a scout being flashed back and forth between you guys, with demoman focusing the wrangled sentry in this scenario & your scout blasting all of team RED which are all stacked up in this tiny area ( In this scenario) That sentry would be taken down quick with demoman's stickies because all players would focus the scout due to him dealing a ton of damage to the enemy team and obviously you wouldn't want to lose any players to this uber. No one would focus the demoman except for the engineer, but he's trying to repair and keep his sentry alive, and pyro would perhaps try to blast you out of this packed area of team RED. It depends on if the pyro were in the fronline blasting them out and if so it would be harder for the uber t go through, but maybe he was spycheking behind this "said packed area" and giving BLU team a free entrance for their uber. But it's hard to tell. I would want a demo to watch and see where this said location would be since it's reall hard to speculate from. But I haven't seen any problem with it so far and therefor this "classes counters eachother" arguement is still key when playing HL. I have never seen the wrangler being an OP weapon. And if your uber is good and you have a team with a brain you can destroy it. And because alot of HL maps are KOTH it you as an engineer wouldn't be running wrangler with a level 3 sentry because it's "too op".No, you would run mini sentry because it's mobile and is used more often in KOTH than in 5CP & PL. When you're playing PL it's same scenario here. When you are attacking you run mini sentry because you have nothing to defend. And when you switch sides and you're now defending you go level 3 sentry with wrangler. And both teams need to have good uber when attacking. Nothing is op and if you have practiced these things before as you should have there will be no problem when destroying that sentry.
