Nothing, NOTHING prepared me for the dangershield change. Imagine charging a sniper as a demoknight and just before you hit him, he just fucking goes to the moon.
He is subconsciously making each class have a "fat scout" sub-class the snout with huntsman and his Darwins danger shield the new natasha heavy as onther example

Ullapool Caber: -10% swing speed, -40% weapon switch penalty. Press the reload key when the charge meter is full to perform a special melee attack (explodes on hit, 200 damage). Recharges in 30s. Meter is emptied on respawn.
The Caber change is actually a deep diss to valve: as the demo dies and respawns, the engi will have built a new sentry, the demo will forever be on a treadmill of destroying, dying, respawn and doing it all over again
That was a very quick turn around from "the changes range from good to whatever, why is everyone complaining?" to "These changes are terrible and would wreck the game."
The first few changes include a few i really want in the game, and are all very reasonable with a few being angles I've never seen before and actually found genius, i got really confused at the comments saying it was bonkers for the first 5 minutes of the video...
unironically not a bad sounding weapon - obviously eating it is pointless but giving up your secondary slot in exchange for basically instant respawn time could work
“Sniper’s biggest problem is when great players abuse him. So anyway I intentionally made the nerfs to sniper able to be completely bypassed by great players specifically.”
Okay, hear me out. *Hitman's Heatmaker:* Fires invisible rounds (except during Focus). -40% damage. Headshots mini-crit instead of critting. *Cozy Camper:* +100% primary ammo (brings it back to 25). -10% speed. -10% charge rate. It's probably still bullsh!t anyway, but in a "okay, you get to bypass the normal nerfs I placed on snipers, but you'll get entirely different nerfs" kind of way.
You laugh, but this is literally what valve did in mvm for the huntsman when they replaced the explosive headshot upgrade with a bleed on hit upgrade for no logical reason
@@slysamuel5902id say its a good change for the huntsman, because you can swap aoe damage for very large amounts of damage (stacked bleeds) on certain targets
New minigun idea: - 69% Ammo Capacity - 100% Damage - 60% slower firing speed + While bullets do not deal immediate damage, they instead inflict 8 seconds of bleed
Maybe they imagined that their new weapon would better suit their class playstyle Or maybe they imagined that their class playstyle would be forced to change, to fit the new weapon balance This is why subclasses are often correct
@@tronmerncutsman although some people may have made mistakes. They may have created an ideal weapon that bears no relation to the concept of game balance. They may have created an ideal weapon based on some childish whim, or momentary impulse.

@@Jorvalt Hopefully so, but given his other edits, I'm not assuming. Even if that's the case...You can still be clapped in one hit by almost every class in the game.

@@umcThunder72I've seen it pretty commonly? I mean you also need to deal with jarate and bushwacka to fix the problem of sniper being powerful at every range but it's a component of the issue.
the booties are OP so im cutting off demo's legs *but* it makes you die on respawn so the character doesn't have to suffer the psychological effects of bleed during the match
@lambsauce5312 The proc is the random critical bleed damage on all the weapons he added bleed to but not "no random Crits" to (which I'm pretty sure is all of them).
Man if only Pyro had a weapon that rapidly fired a large cone of projectiles which inflict afterburn. Good thing this reworked Scorch Shot is here to save the day.
Most egregious thing about "L'Executioner" is (as someone in the comments pointed out) not even "executing" anything You're relying on DoT to kill them, that doesn't make you an executioner, IT MAKES YOU A FUCKING SADIST.
You know what changes like the Eureka Effect reminded me of? Reading through the framedata and strategies regarding characters from JoJo: Heritage For The Future. You'd go through an entire list of utterly sick-nasty stuff that'd be absolutely broken in any other fighting game, only to get hit by "yeah also over half the cast is immune against his gameplan for most of the match lmao, he's bottom tier and if you throw someone, you get killed for hitting a move". The whiplash is palpable.
@@Spacebugg Hol Horse is pretty much exactly what I described here. His whole gameplan centers around knocking the opponent down and hitting them with nasty setups, often involving his glass shots (he can shoot the ceiling to make glass fall down). You have to block them standing, and since he can move as they fall, he can simultaneously hit you with a move you'd have to block crouching. So you're getting hit either way, it's unblockable. Same applies to his unblockable Slow Bullet super, if he shoots that thing out while you're on the ground and places it on top of you, you're eating the hit as soon as you get up. Nothing you can do about it, because you can't do anything but block for the first frame after you wake up from a knockdown in this game. Slow Bullet is an absurd move in general, it's what gives Hol a fighting chance. All in all, if Hol gets a good start, he can often just end the round from there by looping these things, and he also boasts suprisingly high chip damage. The problem is that a large chunk of the cast can just... turn both of these win conditions off. "Active Stand" characters can summon their stand to fight with them, and while it's out, they don't take chip and can't be knocked down. Same applies to Weapon Stand characters if I recall correctly. Meaning Hol, lacking great ways to open people up, has to resort to running away, zoning and trying to sneak hits in. But while his kit _is_ geared towards that, the low damage he gets off of hitting you if he can't do his loops makes this a very tough situation for him. The fact that Active Stand characters tend to be higher on the tier list doesn't help either. And yeah, his throw just... let's the opponent recover way earlier than you. They can punish you for landing it. I don't know why they made it that way.
@@Spacebugg all you need to know is that a bird is the best character in a game where you can play as a psychic timestoping vampire, a fortune teller that controls a flame-humanoid-bird, a swordsman controlled by a 1000 year old sword, a guy that can control the bullets that come out of his gun, a magic old man that harnesses the power of the sun and a french man.
1:41:16 "On hit, bleed, for 8 seconds." is the single most despair enducing statement I've ever heard uttered in relation to tf2. nobody's home didnt even come close to the reaction this statement illicted out of me
The way he said it too, like he sounded so proud of himself, same delivery with the gator shield, he was so happy with himself when saying the absolute worst changes and thats what makes this so painful and so funny
@@chongwillson972I mean I guess? Still don't like the idea of a Sniper teleports behind someone with a quickscope after. That could give PTSD to them.
This feels like somebody that played TF2 a decade ago, heard about all the new updates from their friends, wrote the video, THEN played the game, and slowly during editing realized how wrong they were, but refused to change it.
If he was going for the Machina tracer rounds angle with the Sniper Rifles, then why not invert the Heatmaker? Have it fire off tracer rounds normally, then fire off "stealth" rounds when in Focus mode. Would it be very annoying still? Yeah, but at least you know the Sniper player _earned_ the right to be annoying for 10 seconds, instead of earning the right to show the entire enemy team where their hiding spot is.
On the other hand bleed wasn't quite utilised in the game Avenging dying wish, curse murder a slow death Something like that potentially bake into melee core gameplay instead of instant kill rolling
1:40:51 "Gentlemen, for your consideration... *L'Sadique* - Level 1 Revolver - Every nerf he mentioned in the vid + If you shoot this thing whilst disguised and it hits someone, that person gets infinite bleed until they pick up a health pack *"Because if you're gonna torture yourself to play mind games with the enemy, might aswell make their suffering equal to yours"* _-The Janitor high off the potted plant_
@diegordi1394 then well just also make it so it has -99% uber build rate on the bleed, somehow, so not only do you need dispensers large health packs or medics to stop bleed, but medics are *disinsentivized* to heal you
@@molassesman4066 Just make it so that you cannot be healed by medics or dispensers at all. Actually, make it so you cannot be healed at all, even by the resupply cabinet
@@thesmm2311 nah Cuz if medic can heal you but only SLIGHTLY faster than you die from bleed than clearly you are making the medic choose from being useful or sitting there wasting 20 seconds fixing you while only getting 1% uber from it, so giving the medic the option is clearly worse than not giving him one at all
Honestly, this is sounds like the most crazy shit ever You hop into a game and there's ninja snipers in cheeky spots everywhere, pyros are in a chokepoint creating a surprise touhou game. Heavy is speedhacking around the map, engineer is depressed his sentry gun is useless, spy is crying in a dark corner somewhere next to engineer. Half your team is caberknights constantly killbinding (They found a faster way to die than charging with their caber). And one free to play pyro on the team is happy he can finally bleed people with his fire axe.
@@longpants108 yeah, I was proposing to make this bleed stack. That's what I meant with "but the bleed stacks". Maybe I was a little unclear, I'll grant you that
this guy's balances are like: "so your weapon has this bad side and this good side right? Then now it's bad side is 2x as bad and it's good side is 2x as good"
I think if you really wanted the Hitman's heatmaker to be the "stealth sniper" that gets to not have tracers, it should have the classic's downside of needing a full charge in order to headshot. That way you get the old upside of the enemy team not being able to see you, but you can't just quickscope light classes at the drop of a hat
I think another way would be to instead replace the focus with no bullet tracers. But then again that probably just works better as it's own concept rather then reworking the Hitmans Heatmaker. It allows you to camp for a bit, yeah, but you have only a limited amount of time/bullets before you're revealed again and have to switch spots.
@@ammi5311it's already hard to hit most mobile class/class with tons of mobility options(scout,demoman,soldier,demoknight,trolddier) adding more mobility would probably just make the game an old styled OW,and everybody loves OW.

@@TARINunit9 probably the only good change, because that is more damage than stock but can be mitigated with healing or a medic, so it's fair without technically outclassing stock, and is a good way to fight a pyro I guess if you aren't using the Dragon's Fury or any shotguns
@@silverdededestruction2197nah I don’t really think it’s that good of a change, pyro has the flame thrower, which has more range than the sharpened volcano fragment and also a reflect that can also do knockback.

Me when i liked unnerfed bison and agreed it needed light hitbox trim by like 15% or something and they raped it in the street, wouldve rather seen ammo or something weird.
Based of valve in this area Not bow down to current nomie gaming crowd, obsessed with universal hyper equality just to water a game into dullness When every option performs the same, there's no opinions
I think we ought to be a bit fair to his change to the sharpened volcano fragment: he was saying that having it inflict burn was pointless, but a seperate DOT means you could combo bleed with the burn of your flamethrower so that both were in effect at the same time: it's not as dumb as it sounds, but it sounds so dumb that they didn't listen to him explain it. Bleed+burning would actually be a scary combo to be able to inflict.
When I saw the enforcer stat change I was like "surely the caveat to these nerfs is something cool like you don't lose disguise on shooting" so you sacrifice killing power for the ability to be an annoying mosquito in secret. No it's just a straight downgrade with no niche
Sharpened volcano fragment makes zero sense because if you get cut with ORAGE HOT MOLTEN ROCK, then you'll probably gonna instantly cauterize the cut anyways, so how do you bleed??

Every time I rewatch this video I always forget that it’s initially just Blue and Fish enjoying semi-reasonable heavy reworks and that it eventually turns into basically a group of dudes grouped around a single monitor all cracking up at the Bleed Update of Summer 2025
They released a sequel called buffing the spy, and it gets rid of a few of the more ridiculous spy changes (nerfing enforcer into the ground, ruining diamondback), and they addressed a few problems with this video (it should’ve been called “experimenting with tf2’s weapons, etc)
I really appreciate him telling us his shower thoughts honestly, it was fun to hear. A few things were fun, like the urethra effect change. I think what might have ticked people off is his smarmy attitude and the animated spy stamping "BUFFED" or "NERFED", often contradicting when a weapon actually was made better or worse.
You are walking home when a methead attempts to rob you. You resist and they shank you. You are bleeding out on the sidewalk in the middle of the night. *BUFFED*
This video is now just one of my favourite videos on the site, once it ramps up, it's fucking hilarious. The moment y'all said "FINALLY! DEMOMAN HAS AN EFFECTIVE WAY TO DEAL WITH BUILDINGS!" I FUCKING LOST IT
i understand most of these changes were the sake of going wild in his own private little servers, but man there’s a lot of these edits that just do not sound fun to use or fight against even without tryharding in mind
I remember seeing this video and being like "changing every single thing about a weapon isn't a rebalance, you're just making a new weapon at that point" But I figured it was just me and didn't bother to say anything. It's cool to be validated lol.
This actually makes me want a tf2 server where all the weapons are made to be goofy versions of themselves. Not like ×100 goofy but like amplify it's uses. I probably didn't explain that well but I'm gonna pretend I did.
The escape plan Its both weapons again but the effects are passive now The vaccinator - instakilled by any melle or non defenxable projectile but immune to any other form of damage Oh god now im imagining a server where all on equip passives are permanent, all on hit effects can be triggered by anyweapon, and on kill can be triggered by any weapon Heavy out there with the gru and brassbeast, meanhiwl demomans getting heads with hus grneade launcher
I love how for a bunch of items, he doesnt buff or nerf them, but completly rework them. Darwins shield - a defensive item that makes you more tanky. Buff is a movement speed and jump height increase, and health decrease. Just make a new weapon at that point...
the way this comment is formatted is amazing. The simple addition of having the “bleeding for 8 seconds.” Right there when you click the “read more” button adds a layer of suspense, leading you to wonder what would happen if you clicked that button. One of the most innovative comments I’ve seen this decade.
I swear, it's like every time he wanted to "buff" a weapon, he felt the need to add a completely unnecessary downside to the upside he was adding! So at absolute best, the change was a net zero, but for some weapons, it was a straight downgrade!

You know what changes like the Eureka Effect reminded me of? Reading through the framedata and strategies regarding characters from JoJo: Heritage For The Future.
You'd go through an entire list of utterly sick-nasty stuff that'd be absolutely broken in any other fighting game, only to get hit by "yeah also over half the cast is immune against his gameplan for most of the match lmao, he's bottom tier and if you throw someone, you get killed for hitting a move". The whiplash is palpable.
I never played that game so I need an example.
@@Spacebugg Hol Horse is pretty much exactly what I described here.
His whole gameplan centers around knocking the opponent down and hitting them with nasty setups, often involving his glass shots (he can shoot the ceiling to make glass fall down). You have to block them standing, and since he can move as they fall, he can simultaneously hit you with a move you'd have to block crouching. So you're getting hit either way, it's unblockable. Same applies to his unblockable Slow Bullet super, if he shoots that thing out while you're on the ground and places it on top of you, you're eating the hit as soon as you get up. Nothing you can do about it, because you can't do anything but block for the first frame after you wake up from a knockdown in this game. Slow Bullet is an absurd move in general, it's what gives Hol a fighting chance.
All in all, if Hol gets a good start, he can often just end the round from there by looping these things, and he also boasts suprisingly high chip damage.
The problem is that a large chunk of the cast can just... turn both of these win conditions off. "Active Stand" characters can summon their stand to fight with them, and while it's out, they don't take chip and can't be knocked down. Same applies to Weapon Stand characters if I recall correctly. Meaning Hol, lacking great ways to open people up, has to resort to running away, zoning and trying to sneak hits in. But while his kit _is_ geared towards that, the low damage he gets off of hitting you if he can't do his loops makes this a very tough situation for him. The fact that Active Stand characters tend to be higher on the tier list doesn't help either.
And yeah, his throw just... let's the opponent recover way earlier than you. They can punish you for landing it. I don't know why they made it that way.
This is the last place I expected to see HFTF being mentioned on but this is a pretty good comparison actually.
@@Spacebugg all you need to know is that a bird is the best character in a game where you can play as a psychic timestoping vampire, a fortune teller that controls a flame-humanoid-bird, a swordsman controlled by a 1000 year old sword, a guy that can control the bullets that come out of his gun, a magic old man that harnesses the power of the sun and a french man.

Tbh. The Classic being the only one without the tracer rounds in this hypothetical nerf is thematically appropriate.
Honestly he should have just given no tracers to the classic and not make the heat maker another classic
I think another way would be to instead replace the focus with no bullet tracers. But then again that probably just works better as it's own concept rather then reworking the Hitmans Heatmaker.

I think we ought to be a bit fair to his change to the sharpened volcano fragment: he was saying that having it inflict burn was pointless, but a seperate DOT means you could combo bleed with the burn of your flamethrower so that both were in effect at the same time: it's not as dumb as it sounds, but it sounds so dumb that they didn't listen to him explain it.

The progression into chaos and madness is what makes the video so fun to watch, it's like some kind of character arc
They released a sequel called buffing the spy, and it gets rid of a few of the more ridiculous spy changes (nerfing enforcer into the ground, ruining diamondback), and they addressed a few problems with this video (it should’ve been called “experimenting with tf2’s weapons, etc)
Yeah, I don't think it's *that* bad. I kinda see it as a way for him to experiment and learn game balance.
Yeah, he should have call it that, or at least said it was more of an experiment in the start of the video.
I really appreciate him telling us his shower thoughts honestly, it was fun to hear. A few things were fun, like the urethra effect change.
I think what might have ticked people off is his smarmy attitude and the animated spy stamping "BUFFED" or "NERFED", often contradicting when a weapon actually was made better or worse.
The what effect?
@@Pin-TCM one of the dudes in the call in this video kept referring to the eureka effect as the urethra effect
@@TheTrueEvilSpud I think it was Grouch himself that called it that, but I'm not sure.

that’s zenith
I don’t think this guy knows that bleed just… stops when you get a health pack…
You are walking home when a methead attempts to rob you.
You resist and they shank you.
You are bleeding out on the sidewalk in the middle of the night.
*BUFFED*
He's clearly sponsored by Mohgwyn with how much he loves bleed.
Didn't expect an elden ring reference in my tf2 vidya, a most welcome suprise.
MOHG WAS MIQELLESTED
We thought Mogh was the moghlester, but he was the one being miqellested😔
NIHIL
Fuck Miquella. And that bitch of the final boss. Give them a haircut and vow of silence.
I knew the Scorch shot change would give fish an Aneurysm.
This video is now just one of my favourite videos on the site, once it ramps up, it's fucking hilarious.
The moment y'all said "FINALLY! DEMOMAN HAS AN EFFECTIVE WAY TO DEAL WITH BUILDINGS!" I FUCKING LOST IT
i understand most of these changes were the sake of going wild in his own private little servers, but man there’s a lot of these edits that just do not sound fun to use or fight against even without tryharding in mind
I remember seeing this video and being like "changing every single thing about a weapon isn't a rebalance, you're just making a new weapon at that point" But I figured it was just me and didn't bother to say anything. It's cool to be validated lol.
He even renamed some of them lmao
This actually makes me want a tf2 server where all the weapons are made to be goofy versions of themselves.
Not like ×100 goofy but like amplify it's uses.
I probably didn't explain that well but I'm gonna pretend I did.
the eyelander
* you start at the speed of heavy and at 50 health
* max head cap is 20 at 500hp and a speed 50% faster than scout
@@he3004first kill gets you to normal Demoman speed
@@he3004 you gotta REALLY work for that first kill
The escape plan
Its both weapons again but the effects are passive now
The vaccinator - instakilled by any melle or non defenxable projectile but immune to any other form of damage
Oh god now im imagining a server where all on equip passives are permanent, all on hit effects can be triggered by anyweapon, and on kill can be triggered by any weapon
Heavy out there with the gru and brassbeast, meanhiwl demomans getting heads with hus grneade launcher
I would play a server like this.
This is so genius its beyond words. Nerfing spy and buffing sniper is avant garde
Truly academic thinking
gup
gup detected, you should lost seer yourself now
I love how for a bunch of items, he doesnt buff or nerf them, but completly rework them. Darwins shield - a defensive item that makes you more tanky. Buff is a movement speed and jump height increase, and health decrease.
Just make a new weapon at that point...
I love how just over time, more people keep joining the call and going crazy over the change they walk in on.
Southern Hospitality: talked about, unchanged.
Classic? Nah.
It was perfect, it had bleed!
"Say the line bart!"
*Sigh.*
"Bleeding for 8 seconds."
the way this comment is formatted is amazing. The simple addition of having the “bleeding for 8 seconds.” Right there when you click the “read more” button adds a layer of suspense, leading you to wonder what would happen if you clicked that button. One of the most innovative comments I’ve seen this decade.
YAAAAAAAAYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY!!!!!
B U F F E D
Edge. For 8 seconds.
I swear, it's like every time he wanted to "buff" a weapon, he felt the need to add a completely unnecessary downside to the upside he was adding! So at absolute best, the change was a net zero, but for some weapons, it was a straight downgrade!
