Stock syringe gun... what's so bad about it?

[cryptidiot]

Okay, first pretend the crossbow doesn't exist (HOLY CRAP WHERE DID THIS ANGRY MOB COME FROM). You have the option of more speed and less damage, more health but less regen, or decent damage and pretty good regen. Seems like stock would be best for most scenarios, right? It's reliable defence without sacrificing passive healing! It's passive healing without sacrificing damage! It's a pretty damn good weapon, and as an added bonus, it makes people salty when you kill them.

The stock syringe gun is 100% UNDERRATED.
The syringe gun is awesome for defence for yourself like you said.

it's not the crossbow
other than that, syringes are pretty slow

It’s like a projectile pistol with more rounds and the syringes are slow and easy to dodge. Essentially moving side to side you already dodge 50% of the syringes regardless of the medics aiming skills

The crossbow is just too good. Not using it would be stupid.

This kind of undermines the issue.

crossbow is awful at some situations, you know. i can't kill fast scout with spamming crossbow just because he dodges this ♥♥♥♥. but in some situations crossbow is just must-have weapon

it does it's niche pretty well but that niche is blown out the water by burst damage and long range healing

Now we have that out of the way, it's not the Overdose, which sacrifices 1 damage per syringe for easier escapes.

Crossbow >>> Overdose > Stock > Blutsauger

The other sringe guns are just far too much better, you've got:

-Long range healing and lowkey a spychecking tool, plus damage.

-Emergency healing gun in case health is low and has once, demolished me as a demo (seriously these guys scare me)

-Gun that literally gives a speedboost at full uber so you have more survivability

If you think the syringe gun is good, then use it.
People don't usually use the syringe gun because the crossbow is the best

I would still say it’s easier to land the fastest projectile in the game than it is the slow syringes.

Especially when it does like 45 damage at close range vs 8 syringes hitting and doing about the same damage
