Idea Engineer too Weak?

Engineer is supposed to be squishy (and easily killed by glass cannons such as mage or tanks like Heavy). If it wasn't it'd be way too hard to kill. That's the risk/reward for having a turret, teleporters, and a bottomless healthpool.

This is funny.

 

Well, tbh, the class does have very weak armor, and any CTF reg will target you as long as you are playing engineer. But, all an engineer has to do is stay close to the cake, and keep the turret up. Any time the engineer puts the turret close to the enemy flag/spawn, the engineer will get raped, because CTFers hate engineers, for some reason. That's why engineer should be mostly a defensive class. The only thing the turret is good for is killing ninjas/assassins. Anything else doesn't get enough damage dealt from the turret.

 

Turning on dark theme helps

 

I'm really sceptical at what you're going to say but ok, you still have a right to say it so I'll hear you out

Sidenote, that is the greatest description of engineer I have ever seen.

That's to stop engineer being letting everyone telecap in seconds whilst having literally an army of people right outside spawn. It's restricted for a a real good reason, we've already learned from that mistake.

Ok, first of all your cake if set right makes you invincible. It does everything a mage heal spell does except it also puts out fire. Turret next to it and ninjas and assassins are virtually useless against you, mages can heal but provided you know how to strafe mage shots to even a basic level you won't die to a mage. That's assuming you don't have an army of people waiting to 10v1 that mage. I'm gonna be honest and say this sounds more like your lack of ability using the class than a problem with the class itself.

Except it knocks people back allowing you to get to your cake and heal, oh and can destroy other necro and engineer camps that try to set up near you in a futile attempt to overcome your nearby army.

Sorry I don't really understand this, could you clarify?

This would only make engineer more annoying than it already is. Like giving it better armor would mean it's cake keeps it alive forever, makes ninjas and assassins literally unable to kill it at all, and means that any player that tries to go in short range would be knocked back easily far enough for you to get that cake. The way I see this, an archer is the only thing that'd be able to kill it aside from half the team going to target the camp, and even then the engineer could set up in a place where it's impossible to be sniped. This honestly sounds worse even than the engineer of old, and that's saying something. If you're bothered about people targeting you as engineer, the reason a lot of regulars do that is because we know just how annoying engineers can be if they do set up, it's literally a nightmare, and that's after the nerf
