Comment from way back in page 4: Somethin about broken soldier and scout.
If u mean scout is broken in being "too strong" i think thats a bit of an overstatement :o. Scout dies fairly quickly, at least to rockets anyway. Maybe he is a tad strong against the other classes, but eh. Soldier is gay though i'll agree with that.
3-4 close range (non crit) scatter shots kills a full hp heavy. That's pretty broken to me when its combined with the overwhelming agility of scouts.
I'm not all that shitty player but an encounter with a scout usually ends up in me dying without really having any chance or getting away with 20 hp. Its more obvious with classes like Spy, Sniper, Medic, Engineer and Demoman. They really cant do shit except for demoman but if you have the first gun selected you cant kill a scout and by the time you swap to the stickybomb gun and fire a few shots you're already dead.
They just do too much damage too fast. The only counters are sentries and pyros and a scout can easily take down a level 1 sentry and even a level 2 sentry sometimes. With all that already there they also cap points 2x as fast so theres another kick in the balls.
When compared to the rest I'd say they are really broken. Like they are fragile, yes, but the perks they have are more than enough to fix that.
Yeah and also soldiers have like 90% chance to crit with every weapon and have enough hp not to die from a single crit so ugh.
IMHO
