Is good idea. For this one I'm gonna say it's underbalanced. Before the nerf it was balanced, but now that the Shortstop sucks the only saving grace to the set is the 150 HP and Mad Milk I guess. As a whole, it's bad at everything but survivability and team support. --- My opinion is objective fact. If you disagree, well, you're wrong. | |
Balanced. I personally use the Shortstop very well, the only downside is the Holy Mackerel not beign very useful. | |
Balanced. Good bonus balanced by a horrible primary a good secondary and a downgrade to the stock bat. --- http://i.imgur.com/cK3Ri.png | |
Overbalanced I used the set with hilariously fun results. Other Scouts were melted. Soldiers were melted. Medics were melted. I melted anything that wasn't a Heavy with the set. I also can't count all the times the bonus HP has saved me. Only real downside is the lack of a decent close-range game and the lack of a decent melee (although my fishy is fun). --- http://i54.tinypic.com/1zbdl41.jpg | http://i52.tinypic.com/f57py0.jpg Come on, Marta.

InfernoCrossing posted... Overbalanced Spot on. The only reason my fish is still in my backpack is for dicking around. There's nothing more satisfying than seeing FISH KILL! in the feed, despite it being truly awful. Maybe if it launched fishcakes Sandman-style... --- http://www.youtube.com/user/TheKongNinja TheKongNinja: Pathetic since 1884. | |
Balanced. --- every time is rustled jimmies | |
Overbalanced. I still maintain that Shortstop is a decent weapon, particularly at mid-range where the SS does significant damage and the Scout has the ability to stay at that range. Mad Milk is the best secondary for Shortstop, only really Bonk or CaC compares. Fish is just a reskin of the Bat, whether or not it's a slight downgrade or slight upgrade doesn't matter because no one playing seriously is going to be using Scout melee. Oh, and +25 HP on the class that's meant to be fragile. Before the shortstop nerf, no question it was overpowered. Fast firing/high damage primary, amazing (potentially OP) secondary that synchronized well with the primary, and reskin melee, and +25 HP on top of that? The Shortstop nerf is the only reason the Set can be even close to considered balanced, and I still don't think it's really balanced. --- Board 570303- My ASCII. | |
Oh hey, you took my suggestion. Anyway, it's tough to say. I would have definitely called it overbalanced back before the Shortstop nerf, but now...eh, I think I'll go with balanced. --- Will not remove this line of my signature until the Seahawks, Jazz or Rockies win a title (Started 5-16-09) SuperNiceDog: Guru winner | |
Underbalanced. It makes you use the Shortstop, which reloads at a snail's pace, and the Mackerel instead of the Atomizer, Sandman, etc. That's not worth a little extra health. Heck, I'll gladly sacrifice max health to use the Sandman. --- http://backloggery.com/main.php?user=popo My game collection http://www.twi-brigade.com/ | |
