Some Classes Have A Lot More

[sleonard11]

Look at the soldier. He has 74 items at his arsenal. The scout and pyro have 72. Keep going, and the Medic has only 50. With the Sniper trailing behind at 53, and the Engineer at 55. My question is, why do some classes seem to be more liked than others and get more items in almost every major update?

Because at some level Valve have realized that they're incapable of balancing weapons for certain classes, and avoid doing so as much as possible.

It's harder to balance certain classes.

Medic and engineer weapons are hard to make without them becoming sub-par or the new default item.

I was hoping we'd at least get some more cool miscs and hats for them at least.

I'd love to see more Backpacks for the Medic.
