Ideas for a 10th class

[Medi]

I'm just putting this here because I thought "Hey, what if there was a 10th class in TF2?" and posted it on here because why not. Anyways, this is what i thought it would be:

Character:
A stocky, grizzled looking guy in his early 30s with a stubble and is somewhat a combo of Soldier and Scout; a veteran in the battle and some knowledge of it all but still is a bit cocky. He would wear a long sleeved shirt with a jacket or vest over it and a pair of slacks with pockets on the legs similar to some cargo shorts. His class emblem could be pistol and knife forming an "X"

Class Description:
The class he would be would be "The Specialist" and would have movement speed slightly slower than the Spy. He has a max health of 150 and an overheal of about 250-300 max. His main ability would be weapon versitility. Basically, he would be able to use most guns and melee weapons in the game.

A list of what he can't use: Rocket Launchers, Miniguns, Mediguns, both Grenade and Sticky Launchers, Syringe Guns, Sniper Rifles, Swords, Wrenches and PDAs, Knifes, The Wrangler, Disguise Kits, Sappers, the Thermal Thrusters, Flamethrowers, and other weapons that would cause balance problems.

What he can use: Shotguns, Pistols, Scatterguns, SMGs, Kukris, Revolvers, his own fists (like the Heavy), Bottles, Axes, Bonesaws, Bats, and so on.

For example, in the inventory, you can equip the Family Business in the primary, the Pretty Boy's Pocket Pistol in the secondary, and the Postal Pummeler in the melee, and so on. While playing as him, effects that he can't use will not apply to him and be nullified. You can pick up dropped weapons from dead people and use them until your killed, in which you will be set back to using the weapons you equipped in your inventory. On a side note, if there's still a balance problem, there can be a downside that causes all effects he can use to be slightly lowered, except firerate, accuracy, bullet spread, stuff like that. For example, the Cleaner's Carbine and The Ambassador. The Ambassador would mini-crit on headshot instead of a normal crit. The Cleaner's Carbine charge effect, Crikey, wouldn't last as long as it normally would. He wouldn't be able to double jump either, just to clarify.

I'm open to suggestions, criticism, and so on. Thanks for reading this!

There already is a tenth class
It's the Random Class button

I've yet to see a tenth class idea that isn't horrible, redundant with the other classes, or a lazy mashup of other classes.

The entire point of classes is to balance out their weapons with their health and mobility, and since they are locked into a specific set of weapons to be predictable and thus counter-able as well.

Randomizer: The Class aka Specialist is none of that even if you restrict the stronger weapons...which by the way just makes him even more convoluted because now he has a long arbitrary list of weapons he can and can't use that people have to memorize. He will always inevitably range the spectrum from woefully undepowered to ridiculously overpowered.

Case in point: Family Business, PBPP, Postal Pummeler. So a gunslinger engi except without the sentry or anything else that makes him useful. So a far worse scout with only slightly more hp.

Peter Griffin would be a great 10th class

[Trans Tsurugi]

once every hit with any of his weapons one key is stolen from your backpack and tf2 loses one year of updates

Why are you replying to a 4 year old thread?
