Crutch Weapons

[Charlie5L]

For those who wish to not take this seriously or not care for it, I'm sorry, but I am sick. As such, it is best not for me to make food. However, the drinks machine is now out of renovation and all drinks are free of charge. Go get something to drink.

Let's face it. At least thirteen times a day we get a post whining about weapons, or someone in game whining at us because they are so incapable of fighting against us with "crutch" weapons.

I am starting to assume almost every weapon is a crutch. Black Box, Shotgun, Ubersaw, Sun on a Stick, Flamethrower, Huntsmen, every weapon, but it seems that there is an "official list" of crutch weapons.

So who here knows what the "crutch" weapons are, because I want to use them so I can annoy more people in-game and make them either rage quit or quit TF2 for good.

Yes, I am that sadistic. I think "sadistic" is the right word...

Such a weapon does not exist yet.

Danger shield, black box, dead ringer, crit a cola, every pyro weapon but mainly the reserve shooter. Those are the main ones I see.

[Raheem]

2 words. Dead ringer.
1 word. Spy-cicle

[davis tran]

Scout: Crit a cola
Soldier: Nothing too crutchy, BB isn't that bad honestly
Pyro: The whole class
Demoman: Nothing?
Heavy: Nothing?
Engineer: I guess the gunslinger but it can't be used 24/7
Medic: Nothing?
Sniper: DDS
Spy: Spycicle, DR.

I feel very happy now.

a weapon that forces your opponent to outsmart you instead of outdamaging is what they call crutch, i guess. it's not the weapon that has the problem but the player, if you can't win 1v1 against black box, why are you taking that fight in the first place. you have one more rocket with stock. use it in your advantage... but whining and insulting is easier, isn't it?

Crutch :
1.
Makes good players worse and bad players better on fighting

OR

2.
it's just blatantly OP against X thing while not having really any downsides

Scout: Critacola, Atomizer
Soldier: Conch, Black Box a bit (kess damage for more survivability that good players really dont need extra of)
Pyro: Airblast stun and RS
Demoman: Loch, Eyelander since heads.
Heavy: None really? Maybe Natascha.
Engy: that secondary that zaps the ♥♥♥♥ out of rockets etc
Medic: Vita
Sniper: DDS, Machina
Spy: DR

[Some Guy]

Demo and the Loch n Load.
Heavy and Natasha?

Pyro: Nothing too crutchy, the Reserve Shooter actually gives the Pyro a way to reliably get picks.

Crutches considered by a lot of people.

Scout: Force-a-Nature and Crit-a-cola (I agree with this one to be honest).

Soldier: People think the entire class is a ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ crutch by the looks of it.

Pyro: Reserve Shooter, Degreaser, a bunch of Flare Guns, Phlog (If you're a terrible player)

Demo: Loch-n-Load.

Heavy: Uh...Not sure of this one.

Engineer: Gunslinger.

Medic: Vita-Saw since you get a good upside for dying which is one of the biggest punishments in TF2 while -10 HP which is barely a downside.

Sniper: Darwin's Dangerous Wheelchair, Razorback

Spy: Dead Ringer and Spycicle.


Go ahead and correct me of any of these. I thought of these mostly off of the top of my head.

So from what I am seeing, Heavy doesn't seem to have a crutch? At all?
