Anti-Sandvich nerf petition

[IRA625]

This is a preemptive action regarding the TF2 Beta's nerf to the Sandvich - I quote:

"The heavy no longer gains health from a Sandvich they drop; It re-fills their Sandvich ammo instead."

The Sandvich is a perfectly fine weapon and has been for quite some time.

The Sandvich was implemented as a way to give up some of the Heavy's firepower while providing him with the ability to stay alive longer while he's alone.

It can easily be combatted with an ambush, a Spy or any pair of class with a Medic.

As it is the Sandvich only gives 50% of what it would give with the Sandvich taunt if you are to drop it and to have it not effect the Heavy is to make it borderline useless, right beside the Dalokoh.

Might I remind you, Heavy bros, this affects the Steak, too.

/sign below if you're against this nerf.

I agree, they should also make eating a sandvich kill every nearby enemy in a 10 metre radius and grant me mega-crits for 12 rounds which deal 3 times the enemy's maximum health.

How? If you drop the Steak you simply pick it back up again. This is what I'm getting at. Theres no alternative. They're removing the ability for a Heavy to pick up his own Sandvich/Steak altogether.

i want this nerfed. Not signed.

PS: Did you ever try eating the sandvich, it actually heals you, too.

I've lost count as to how many weapons have now turned useless in this game.

[Teamfortressguy]

The whole point of the sandvich is to heal the heavy and making him vulnerable while doing so. The whole drop and pick up thing with he sandvich completely destroyed the purpose. This nerf is fine. Yes, you actually have to use an item the way it's meant to be used, cry more about it.

Enjoy getting taunt killed.

Fine. I'd be cool with it, but a straight nerf is a no-no.

-Heavy can't pick up his own Sandvich
-Dropped Sandvich now heals 100% of HP

then eat it...

if you want to gain back health, the beta change still allows teammates to pick up the sandvich as a health pack, now its just more of a team-oriented utility item, then just a portable health kit for the heavy, each lunch box item now focuses on its unique stats as a edible lunch box device for the heavy, (sandvich -health recovery, dalokohs bar -overheal, buffalo steak sandvich -minicrits, etc.) instead of acting as a portable health kit for the heavy.


heavy was fine before the sandvich, and you can still recover health from it and heal teammates with it, just don't recover health as quickly as before.

As a boxing heavy I do not approve this nerf.

[binarystar]

Delicious fat russian tears.

Eating it still gives you HP, just now you can't instantly get back half of it without really putting any thought into it. If you can't see the problem with the Sandvich in it's current form you are most likely biased, which judging by this thread is the case.

Deal with it nerds. It's still the ultimate faceroll class.

They should change the enforcer nerf instead to make "Dead Ringer does not reduce damage when cloaked" if enforcer is equipped.

DR Enforcicle loadout is way too OP
