I can't help but wonder if Valve realized the context_action command would conflict with the Heavy's ability to activate Rage, since that requires taunting. I bet they didn't.

From what I can tell, Strange Filters are items that you apply to weapons so that they (or one of their Strange Parts) will only track actions taken on that specific map. Doesn't sound like an especially good idea to me, but what the hell do I know?

It honestly seems like the stock medigun would need to be nerfed to make the quick fix or vaccinator useful. If they have to nerf overheal to allow for damage type resistance, having full overheal AND an uber makes the stock gun too good to use anything else except maybe the kritz. As it stands you have stock, which is good for 90% of situations, and 3 highly situational guns -- this is pretty much the case with most every weapon slot for most every class, but medics are so important to the team that they can't be screwing around with the quick fix the same way a spy could with the your eternal reward. However it does seem like it could be fun with a friend playing pocket -- the resistance to only one type probably requires a lot more communication. Too bad l3 sentries have 2 kinds of damage...

Man, just saw the uber effect for the new medigun, it's a shield for both the medic and their target. It's not bad! Definitely easy to see and differentiate from other ubers.

You can't pull rank on murder.

TF2 wiki posted:

When the ÜberCharge is deployed, both the medic and the heal target gain 75% damage resistance to the selected type of damage. In addition, the medic and heal target heal 25% of matched incoming damage. Instead of a single ÜberCharge bar, the Vaccinator builds up four smaller bars of ÜberCharge, which can be deployed independently of each other. However, you cannot change your selected resistance in the middle of an ÜberCharge.

I guess you can time it so that you pop an anti-bullet uber and then an anti-fire uber and then an anti-explosive uber in succession depending on the situation.

The quick fix probably can't be... fixed without bumping its charge rate again. Both of the beta variants proved to be way too strong with a +50% charge rate (and again at +40%), though, which is why I'm interested in how the Vaccinator's almost-uber is going to play when you're firing them 2:1 against the regular medigun.

Also, would it be bad to push the quick fix further into the "pocket rocket" territory by directly improving banner charge rates for pocketed soldiers? They're really the only class that can take advantage of the quick fix's unique properties anyway, and the banners can cover for lack of kritz/uber.

Just joined a Valve server and people are mentioning Secret Saxtons dropping for them on kills.

EDIT: Gifts drop from corpses, not on every kill but frequently enough that a shitload of gifts are going around. I don't know how it works, I picked one up and nothing seemed to happen, but it seems to WORK like a Secret Saxton in that someone gets a gift from another player and it levels the Spirit of Giving.

This actually sounds kinda interesting for those "goddamnit, I've gotta pop an emergency uber because my moron pocket's losing a fight or some rear end in a top hat jumped me" situations - if a Pyro pops out of nowhere and lands on your head Carpet-style, you can pop an anti-fire uber to extend your life long enough for your pocket to save you, while still keeping an anti-bullet uber in reserve for fighting that Heavy around the next corner. Could possibly add a lot of strategy to moving with a pocket, since you'll have to have the right uber type ready at the right time. Of course, since the uber is likely worse than the Quick-Fix for the stuff you usually use ubers for, it's still probably a crap-tier medigun.
