I vaguely remember there was a time in the game's balancing history where the Short Circuit's M1 did auto track at a certain range. And at that time it would only really be used to check for cloaked Spies. This is presumably why it doesn't do that anymore, because Spies have enough problems trying to stay cloaked as is. If their main target has essentially a low range tracker that auto reveals their position, there's barely a point to hiding.

The Southern Hospitalities main drawback (imo) is that, yes, the bleed on hit is underwhelming, but also the weapon has both a debuff and buff attached to the same playstyle. Its trying to both reward you AND punish you at the same time. With your first rework, you make it so the weapon has a longer range (and kept the bleed dmg) but also punishes the user for trying to make the most of that stat. Its redundant

The SoHo is honestly just a very boring weapon, but it's far from bad. In fact it's actually pretty commonly used as a "defending-last" wrench in comp as it's essentially a straight upgrade to stock there as random crits are turned off. Honestly even in casual i don't consider it to be that much worse than stock as I don't take random crits into consideration so it's basically a stock reskin for the most part, which is why I think it's boring as all the other wrench unlocks have their unique abilities that make them stand out from the rest.

It may not seem inportant at first, but imagine an engie blasting his rounds into a heavy, switching to his pistol and gunning down a medic, and immediately being able to do it again is more power than he probably should have.

I think the 2nd rework for the southern hospitality isn't a good idea. It seems like the downside of not dispensing ammo would mostly serve to confuse allies, since they won't know whether a dispenser has that trait unless they know the dispenser is made by an engie with that wrench. There's a reason engie's dispenser changes visually with each upgrade, and it's to tell players how potent it is. (Same goes for the sentry, but not the teleporter since it's not as important to know.) Without adding a visual change specifically for the southern hospitality, this would mess that design up.
@Underworlder57 ай бұрын

it would have to be like the gunslinger and have its own dedicated building. personally, i find the design of "just make the dispenser heal more" a little uninspired, even if it could be effective. i also dislike how this breaks the flow of wrench interplay; you can't switch between this and the jag or eureka effect or stock without deleting your dispenser, which (assuming this makes engie healing truly viable) hinders the skillset and metagame of wrench swapping by encouraging engies to go full-time southern hospitality.

All things considered, Engineer might be the best balanced class in terms of unlocks. The pomson is weak and the wrangler shield is a little too good, but other than that, every unlock is in a perfect state IMO. Gotta commend Valve for this. Short Circuit primary fire should just be removed. Any buff makes the pistol a lot less viable. Even if you try to compensate your primary fire buff with a secondary fire nerf, the only thing that accomplishes is making the weapon less unique. It's totally fine to have a slight side-grade like the Southern Hospitality. It reminds me of the Iron Bomber, Panic Attack, and Original in that regard. I don't think it needs a rework.

An idea I've always had for the Southern Hospitality is similar to your redesign, but instead of more range and faster heal, the dispenser is replaced by a larger and more durable model that can overheal to quick-fix levels. I also had an idea to go with it where it gains an alt-fire similar to the amputator where the engineer can (persistant) taunt with the dispenser to allow it to overheal to the "normal" limit but draining the dispenser's health while doing so, but this might be stepping on Medic's toes too much while also being too strong of a pair with the rescue. Similarly, I had an idea of an alt-fire for the Pomson that "overcharges" buildings you are aiming at, improving capabilities but giving a health drain.

This series makes me think that there is a place for a lot more weapons in the game. For engineer, imagine a shotgun replacement that fires a small health kit (can carry couple of them, pick-ups recharge it the same way sandwich does). Visually should be based on dart gun that veterinarians use on cattle. Reasoning is that in many cases while playing on offense (payload or attack/defense map) gameplay of an Engineer is very boring. You should build your nest and keep it running, and leaving it is practically never beneficial (makes you wide open to spies). With a healing gun you would have something to do, and if your aim is good you will help your team a lot, but if its not you may end up helping enemies.

I love this concept keep it up with new weapon transfers

I really wanna hear your thoughts about the short circuits alt fire, cause man is it frustrating to deal with against established nests. Overall great video!

I had an idea very similar for the Southern Hospitality a while ago that likewise had double dispenser range but at the cost of capping out your sentry's level at 2. This would facilitate the Engineer placing the dispenser in new and interesting places (particularly near the front lines) at the cost of making him a weaker defensive force. This one's for the engineers who don't like to use the gunslinger on offense, I think.

I think the Southern Hospitality would be alot more interesting if it was an Aura, like: "When you have this equipped, apply Bleed on hit" It would make the most aggressive approach from it even more aggressive. I'd also make so that Sentries also apply Bleed when the Engineer is nearby but I don't think that can be done easily.

Just sat down to lunch on a sunny patio and there’s a new great blue video to watch - today is a good day.

Something that could help this series in the future is to give a quick rundown of a weapon's current stats and/or gimmicks before fixing them I know you show them on screen, but hearing you explain them briefly might help with context (plus, I'm not as familiar with every single weapon as you are)

My favorite more unique changes to make the southern hospitality more unique

just make southern hospitality do more damage to enemies on hit

Guys. The Pomson is a sidegrade to the SHOTGUN. Ya know, the weapon that is most useful when stuck right into the face of an enemy. It’s not Valve’s fault you’re trying to use it at mid-range. Granted, it’s still worse than the shotgun at close range, but my point still stands.

I had a idea for a redesign mainly built for engies not getting punished for staying with his building. (yeah turtling is bad but it is a play style that benefits the teams for a majority of gamemodes) also im basing it around the vitasaw Southern Hospitality Bleed on hit Every kills provides a munition pack (not ammo pack) On death engineer respawns with increased metal reserve (a max of 300) This allows engineer to start building a sentry dispenser and 1 tele allowing him to rush back to the point and setting up a nest again. (i know this could be compared to the eureka effect but comparatively you have to leave your building each time to set up this allows engie to set up a sentry dispenser and exit in one go or even start getting a building to lvl 3 faster)

i love using the Sourhern Hospitality. not because i find it to be better than the others, although the bleed letting me find spies is nice, but just because it looks like a freaking madness combat weapon

Problem with the dispenser change is you'd need a different dispenser model to signify it wouldn't give ammo.
@AlbertVien-d4i7 ай бұрын
One could make the Southern Hospitality be the damage wrench, with bleed and extra damage ( around +25%), at the cost of very slightly lower swing speed (-15%), which would change basically nothing in combat, but reduce its effectiveness when used to repair, upgrade, etc. Great Blue's ideas for the Southern Hospitality could (and should), be entirely new weapons, not even necessarily in the form of a wrench.

I was first introduced to the Short Circuit through Fawful's Minion's top 9 worst TF2 weapons video Back before it had an alt fire (it was on that list because he just hated using it)
