How to properly buff the caber (not a joke)

[LitR]

If you have been playing demoman with the caber or just haven't been living under a rock for 6 years you know the caber sucks. It used to be stupid op and basically a market gardener for demo. It could be made good again without overbuffing it or making it too gimmicky.

What to do:
-Do not change any fundamentals of this weapon. Instead:
-Add a 100% minicrit chance while explosive jumping (the explosion doesn't have falloff, so it will always deal 185 damage or 74 if the caber had exploded before)
-Add a recharge meter that, once the caber has been expended, fills in 1 minute or by picking up ammopacks (large ammopacks fill up 50%) after the caber has exploded, and if the meter fills, you get a new caber.

This would keeo the caber from being a gimmicky weapon while still being mildly good for demoknight and demoflight.

"Yea like the dead tf team is going to think about buffing the caber, not fixing the game or releasing the heavy update"
I can dream

Sadly, maybe yes because luck always beats skill. But knowing that you earned that kill and didn't just cheese it would make it so much more satisfying, and flying away from a pile of gibs would be epic.

Revert the nerf but change it so it does 125 damage on explosion and the caber recharges.

He's not wrong, so why start insulting him because he disagrees with you. This game isn't getting touched, and the Caber will never get buffed.

I think the intention for the Caber is that it's supposed to be an explosive weapon for Medieval Mode. I think what it needs is the following:

Has an ammo counter of 100. An explosive hit will use ALL of it
Deals 40 damage if ammo is 99 or below and doesn't have an explosive hit
(hidden): Can be swung even at 0 ammo.
(Hidden): -50% melee ammo pickup efficiency
(Medieval mode only): Regenerates 5 ammo per second

Pretty much enables players to repair the caber with ammo pickups

what if they just fixed the explosion radius and called it a day?
