[TF2] Why Engineer is Hated

Some guy eagerly enlists and entails each and every exclusively enraging effects about the Engineer, Eh.
Engineer is fine and dandy all on his own. he isn't extremely powerful even with his sentry especially on offence... issue is when other people wanna partake in Engineer gaming and also join up, flooding the server with sentries everywhere so no one can push, dispensers to heal everyone else and teleporters to get them to the frontline quickly. Class limits are a solution but no one is really going to like those if they're added and making it so Engineer can't help repair or upgrade his fellow Engineer's buildings will probably lead to an excessive amount of rage and fighting with teammates.
Maybe have it be less effective if the building isn't yours? Metal repairs cost twice as much on a friends building and same thing for upgrades? I don't know man, I'm SpaceGuy the Sniper Guy not Uncle Dane the Engie Main.
Would people be down for a sub special video where I quickly give my two cents on each and every weapon in the game? Maybe so, maybe not. Comment it please because I'm indecisive.

Turtling isn't just playing defensively btw. Otherwise engineer would just be synonymous with turtling. No turtling is specifically when an engineer has his sentry RIGHT infront of him and his dispenser RIGHT behind him thus resembling a turtle in its shell.

[@idontthinktheysawthatcomin6792]

Or just having all engineers at one place with their sentries and dispensers right next to each other

Which is fairly easy for a spy to beat by decloaking behind the dispenser so the sentry shoots the engineer.

[@excretes_a_n_d8155]

It's not really that, it's the fact some of his unlocks turn him into something explosive classes can't deal with, and then much like getting reflected by a shitty Pyro because the airblast cone is the size of a semi, he can build a mini that completely fucks a rocket jump because valve thought giving it knockback was a good idea, in a game about mobility, then it literally becomes a tiring game of die to the engie kill the sentry or kill the engie die to the sentry, and then even if you are of equal enough skill level to actually overcome the engie, he can say, FUCK YOU completely to that and pull the short circuit out of his pants Do I sound jaded it's probably cause I just want to play trolldier and I'm forced to fight 8 mini sentries and 5 fucking pybros on Hightower when I just want to take a detour from my miserable life. Then ontop I have a few counter arguments Short circuit is expensive Yes but what the fuck is the point when with the mini he can kill you and get all the metal back before you even comeback Just use a shotgun What if your a trolldier, or a gunboats soldier(Me) Just jump the engie They can pull the fucking wrangler out of their anus and make the minisentry take 300 fucking damage What about demo People like to pybro the battle engie, and as I mentioned airblast is wayyyyy too forgiving nowadays and annoying And finally use the direct hit NOW I will give the other side the credit the direct hit is fun, and it's effective on the sentries, only issue being, if the sentry is being wrangled it has to take 6 FUCKING DIRECT SHIT ROCKETS HOW?!? IN THE FUCK?!? Or they can say fuck you and just yoink the short circuit In my opinion there shouldn't be unlocks completely designed to remove counters from classes, although I hate it there shouldn't be an item for soldier or demo that counters Pyro, spy shouldn't have the spy cycle, engie shouldn't be able to technically counter all classes with the wrangler by fucking making it invincible, I think the short circuit could be balanced though, make the ball less opaque and make the hitbox big enough to where it's useful and make the hitbox small enough to actually let the enemy have fun playing the fuckin video game. I'm sorry I went on a tangent, this is just my reason or at least my reason why people hate engie, he drags out serious matches and battle engies are Satan on open maps like Hightower Seriously valve what the fuck, the mini sentry is firing 7.92x22 rounds, LITERAL PISTOL ROUNDS why does it have KB when the regular sentry, it makes sense why it has KB BECAUSE ITS FIRING 24MM Have you seen a 24mm It's that one bullet that's the only thing larger than a 50.

While I do like Engineer on a base level the one weapon I can never get behind is the mini. It just seems to be there to be the most annoying thing ever. You turn a corner and suddenly you're being pelted rapidly by a decently damaging pea shooter hidden in a bush. While it is technically a different way to play engie....it just makes me wonder who thought that it was a good idea? Like....okay yes its fun to plop it down and not have to worry about. And it has lower health and isn't as damaging as a level 2 or 3 sentry. But the rate which they can be constantly put down as well as its very fast fire rate make it bothersome to deal with. I heavily use the Direct Hit if I see mini engies. I think of it as a mini deleter. But outside of Demos, Soldiers, sometimes snipers, and sometimes heavies they seem annoying. Spy can counter it but if you sap it the engi knows a spy is near his mini if hes paying attention. As well as the other team if they see it being sapped. Scout unless he has a wall he can duck behind is hard pressed with dealing with them....Medic can probably hide behind a team mate. My main point is I simply just do not like how simply annoying they come off as.

[@olwiz]

What valve made even with updates was right, and the turtling intentional- at least thats how the game was meant to be played and how it shouldve worked; Heck they buffed engineer because players got so much better the stallwall/turtling impact of engineers wasnt there anymore. Unlike what comp players praise and prefer this does push for more teamwork- dont get me wrong, comp do teamwork and have to, but their preferences and playstyle puts a lot more focus on individual skill (alongside said teamwork) then what and how tf2 was designed towards. From maps to objectives the game was entirely designed around push-stops, those walls creating highlight moments where the teams need to work together more- and the infamous unlockables were meant to nerf show stopper powerhouses (demo and soldiers on good hands wreck engies) and add to the dance of teams rethinking things together- some things were meant to request more spies, and if the opposing team did well with spies then engies switching to anti-spy loadouts... this sort of thing, counters to counters could/should work with that. The real problems: -the game also wasnt designed for 12 vs 12 -they never solved the issues of class stacking nor implemented limits they should`ve, engineer stacking the worse offender -they overestimated a bit how much the (really good, on paper) design would actually push pubbers to cooperate more -they underestimated how much ego and skillbased focus would push so many players against the cores of the game -...and they couldnt account for skill gaps proper (wich is near impossible btw) Heck even on practice their choices kinda work. Even in the worse no communications barely any effort/coordination full pubs ive seen the invisible nudges of the design making players swithing classes and loadouts and overcoming even some stacked unbalanced holds (with some luck and skill or mistakes from the enemy helping) - wich is how it was meant to happen. Given some time(left on the round), if half of one team isnt going friendly dumb it works The reason why its so rare is something else- skill gap. The whole thing works almost flawlesly with noobs to pros if everyone is about the same page, but the skill gap in this game is so huge it throws it all out of the window Also most criticism ignores that both sides are meant to switch classes and loadout as needed. Spies and pyros are also part of the game. They gave scout a 'trick sentry'-cola for a reason. Ubers were always meant to be one of the main highlights matches are draw around but never the only trumph card either- but then we have spies who only know(or barely know) backstab and never time sappers, soldiers and demos that refuse to change classes and complaim they cant just spam their way foward...

To be fair, the sentry is designed for area denial and It does well in that regard for any unaware enemies or any enemy that isn’t a soldier or demoman.

[@Teixas666]

usually is engineer stacking is a problem its generall comes down ot an issue in map design that make unreachable sentries possible. this is a common problem in the older maps like dustbowl where you have many spots where not only is a gun difficult ot reach while having long lines of sight, but said spots are in places there one side has spawn advatange(all 3 stages of dustobwl defense are bs for this, th defenders have a huge advantage on last + the abiltiy ot stack guns unpunished...its not a conicidience that you get nearly 20 mins ot attack dusbowl last.)

Honestly out of all the classes, the ones I cant hate are Engies and Heavies. Heavies play style is limited and has weaknesses when it comes to stuffing out long range classes and also trying to focus on spies. Engies on the other hand need to take time out of playing the objective to setup and make sure their position is helping themselves and their team. Minis arent really annoying as long as you can spot them out and learn to respect their area when the engi is still alive. It's not as annoying as a Soldier or Demo that has a medic boosting them.

One of the things I find really annoying about the FJ is how often battle engineers will play with 10 crits in their back pocket from a mini sentry downed 3 minutes ago, and turtle engineers who will (at least try to) go on a rampage with it once their gun goes down and they earn 30 crits. My proposition: Crit decay. crits stored up in a sentry and in the gun will slowly be lost, at around 15-30 seconds for each crit, which would encourage engineers to make the most of their crit lode and do something with it instead of waiting around for a scout 5 minutes later to try and flank him and be met with a glowing red/blu surprise.

@@TheFalseShepphard Shut up. Just because someone plays a class doesn't mean they are a copy. That's like saying if you enjoy acting, you are a Leonardo DiCaprio copy. Even if he is a fan of Uncle Dane, could you say to someone with absolutely no remorse that someone shouldn't play something they enjoy because a community figure encouraged them to play a class? I don't think you could, and if you say you can you are either lying or just being a dick. TL:DR Be quiet, Let people play engineer, soldier, etc. WITHOUT it being considered being a shill.

[@terrypennington2519]

I've been an Engie main ever since the day I picked up TF2 in 2011. Honestly, can't complain much about 'em. Never found him to be an annoying class to fight. To me, he's always been a class that is so perfectly designed to operate WITH his team. Honestly in my opinion, I think he is the most perfectly balanced all around class in tf2. He has his pros, and he has his cons. Engie stacking can be a problem, but that encourages teams to gather up, which in turn leads to healthy and fun gameplay. Engie literally forces teams to coordinate, and that is why I love him so much. When I play Engie, I feel like I'm the brains of the team, the guy that makes sure everyone is in their place and doing their best at where they should be. The top scoring Heavy with a pocket med might always be top scoring, and be seen as the team captain, but us Engie mains all really know who carried the team ;). After all, who was it they ran back to when they had no health and ammo? Who was it they ran back to when the enemy was right on their tails? Who was it they ran back to when they needed to build up a push? Who was it they called upon when they needed to get to the frontlines ASAP? Now the only thing I think really needs some tweaking is Engie's wrangler. That thing can piss right off to hell. Ain't no damn reason a lvl 3 sentry should be able to tank 6 Direct Hit rockets just because an Engie pressed 2 on his keyboard.

Here's an idea. What if only some wrenches had the potential for cooperative engineering. The gunslinger is a decent option since turtling is most effective on defense, but I could also see the eureka effect as an option.

Funny how when you do these videos, you show footage of you playing how you complain annoying classes play.

[@elbowremovalservice]

You have a lot of points, but the video is fundamentally flawed. I like the discussion, and I like a lot of the content, but you're essentially just listing that engie can kill things (Wrangler excluded). For each thing engie counters, engie is countered.

[@gamer9720]

The point of the video is that while an Engineer on his own is a great supplement for a well-rounded team, multiple Engineers require a disproportionate amount of effort to take care of.

[@blacklight683]

The biggest problem with the gunslinger that if you miss a shot or 2 when you kill the engie his mine sentry will be already up so unless you are sniper/there is a near by wall say good bay

One of the many things I enjoy doing in this game is going onto any CTF lobby, equipping the Cloak And Dagger, and then watching as the enemy engineer searches for me in vain as I repeatedly call out 'the engineer is a spy' while he is setting up a fort in the intel room. And then sap his buildings with the Red-Tape Recorder whenever he looks away

[@chitosetakaki9385]

Scout:HAHA I CAN WRECK U CHUCKLEHEAD NERD Engineer:say hello to my little gun Scouts brain:Oh it's just a level 1 haha I can easily destroy that Engineer:Its a mini It was at that moment he knew He fucked up I like to think this is what Scouts do when fighting a battle engineer and that the Scouts think its a slow level 1 only to realise its a mini but its already to late But really why does every scout just run in even when they see the mini and even when they know its a mini and yet they still just try why?

[@AdaptiveApeHybrid]

Some of my fondest memories in this game are playing bonk scout on Foundry. On the second point, engineers often build in the cubby on the medium health pack. So you bonk through the choke, let the rockets launch you and proceed to spawn camp. Good times. Engineers don't have to be a natural enemy to scouts. Sometimes they are our friend

[@Nyxael5845]

The intro reminds me of one game I had in a 5CP map. I was in Process and my team had capped 4th after a long struggle, I walked out of spawn and I see an enemy Scout slip by and head for the mid point to begin capturing it and then he gets blasted to oblivion by a Sentry that one of our Engineers placed at the START of the round. The Scout got angry and said in chat "Dude why is there a f*cking Engineer in there. This game is taking forever and this Engie is slowing the game EVEN MORE."
