    Would you rather see more buffed/stronger classes, or nerfed/weaker classes? (Opinion thread)

    I'd rather see all classes be buffed, just some be buffed more than others. I think CTF is fine as it is right now with the exception of dwarf, mage, necro, engineer and maybe pyro.

    should've been more clear in my thread, this was an opinion thread on whether people liked to see in general buffed classes or more op classes, or nefed/weaker classes

    in my opinion I always found buffs generally a better thing for multiple games, rather than nerfing buffing allows more leveling on the playing field and doesn't weaken gameplay or expectations one would have of the class, and its a better way to understand the META compared to something like nerfs which could lead to more chaos at times i mean what would you rather see a bad class getting a good buff or other classes losing things some may enjoy about them to compensate for the bad class?

    Buffs: Fast-paced, exciting gameplay where Everything at mid is a ****storm and you it's either kill or be killed most of the times both and you're not even salty when you die because you also got a **** ton of kills and the defense is OP af so the offense is like challenge accepted and as the offense is also buffed then they get to rek or get rekt

    Nerfs: 8 minutes to kill 1 heavy randee as practically any class.

    "Yes this gamemode is perfectly fine except this, this, this, this, (proceeds to list a third of the classes). Oh and we need to buff everything but it's fine right now."

    I believe CTF is in need of nerfs currently since from my experience of playing, I will get a kill or so and get cleaned easily by a stronger class, or a person, coming in to clean with more health. I think that the kits need more of a defence upgrade rather than attack upgrades.

    Yes, let's make every single class have a sword, armor and no abilities.

    In general, games are more fun when its faster paced. That's why fps's like Overwatch, TF2, and Counter Strike have done so well. It only takes players about 10-15 seconds after death while for CTF it's more like 20-90 seconds to ask for buffs, organize, and waiting for enemies to come in flagroom. CTF is rather slow so buffing characters should speed it up. I suggest implementing more abilities that the classes will actually use a lot. For example, CTF has some rather slow/unused abilities like elf has water element and engi has a campy turret, cake, and teleporter. Just buff the classes that need it and nerf a few of the current abilities that are too op.

    Buffed, definitely. In my opinion, CTF was way more fun when everything was "overpowered". Necro had infinite minions, Pyro had its instakill, Dwarf had infinite levels, Ninja could throw 2+ pearls. My ideal CTF would have some, if not all, of the classes buffed. Like @Claod said, games are more fun if they're fast paced. Buffing classes would make the game kind of hectic, but also more fast paced, which in turn makes (in my opinion) CTF more fun.

    I'm fine with buffs, but almost never with nerfs. The problem with making a class straight up worse is that it'll just piss people off. To supplement this we should change a class by nerfing what's overpowered and adding a new mechanic to the class to spice it up.

    So giving heavy an iron sword is funny, but giving it slowness I isn't? Okay.
