What YouTuber started this meme?

[Marmarmar34]

So much hate for the homewrecker and neon annihilator appearing seemingly out of nowhere. ESPECIALLY in a world where power powerjack and axtinguisher reign supreme.

I'm also willing to accept this to be an elaborate trolling campaign from the Usual Suspects. It all seems super weird that so many people give so much of a crap about two mediocre melee weapons.

[DarkCrystalMethod]

1. An engineer main wouldn't have started this hate. Its completely beneficial to have a pybro around.
2. Probalby a spy main. They would have gotten away with it if it wasn't for the other team and their pet pyro.

I don't know many specific youtubers so I'll keep quiet about accusations... Not that I have to watch youtubers just to enjoy TF2.

It probably came from reddit or old twitter(still angry about that rename?). Everyone NEEDS something to whine about, just that some have found a public place to do so, even when they're wrong.

[rhabdophobia]

I don't think anybody did. The first I saw mention of it was on here, on a dedicated thread discussing the weapon. I don't think they're wrong for having a negative opinion of the weapon though, making one of Spy's counters even better at countering Spy is pretty unnecessary, and feels a bit needlessly cruel.

I've always considered it a wasted slot, if you want to Pybro you're more useful by preventing the Spy from securing the sap in the first place rather than waiting for him to succeed and then removing it. By that point it's possible he's killed the Engineer anyway, and the building will go down to enemy fire regardless.

[Yellow Dice (Old)]

Neon is fine, the problem with the homewrecker is that it breaks sappers in one swing why can another class break sappers faster than the engie can its absolutely dumb.

Its not that its a meme but its rather that spy is a really ♥♥♥♥ counter to engineer, might as well go medic and build an uber which can ♥♥♥♥ him over.

A good engie wins the game, a bad engie loses to a spy.

You add a pybro there and might as well forget spy exists.

Never said I did. I'm just noticing an over abundance of yapping over weapons that haven't been seen outside of pyroshark meme videos, or as a side note in an engi video.

Again, I'm willing to just accept it as a bunch of bait and yapping from the Usual Suspects.

I imagine its mostly spies who are annoyed that their sapping efforts can be nullified even better than an actual engineer himself. There is also an argument that making a class that's already a hard counter to spies to be even more so - is a brutal overkill, especially since it basically shuts down spy's ability to "counter" the one class HE HAS A DEDICATED WEAPON AGAINST, but eh... Pyro's presence is already a hard shutdown, homewrecker is just an extra reason to either take out pyro first (which you probably should do anyway), or go and do something less nerve-wracking like harass a sniper or a heavy.

What's important is that homewrecker is FUN. Annihilating sappers in one hit feels just right, especially since it sacrifices being an actual weapon for it (unlike neon).
Spies' complaints are understandable, but ultimately it costs them nothing to sap a building and then they can also just shoot it if ever in doubt. Shooting turrets with revolvers is pretty based.

[jungus]

It shouldn't be Pyro's job to baby sit Engineer + ff an Engineer wants to leave his buildings, he shouldn't suddenly not be vulnerable to a Spy just because a Pyro decided to equip a certain melee weapon.

[supersand]

everyone knows powerjack is busted but it at least doesn't totally invalidate an entire class that isn't even good at destroying buildings

it blows the spies cover and often gets them killed to sap anything especially if it is a defensive sentry such as on badwater last. The spy does their job in a suicide play most of the time and then gets completely countered by the same pyro that probably killed them.

Beter is great for memes. Go check out his YouTube channel, he has really good TF2 memes, some are very funny.

tf2bers are doing whatever they can to keep their sheep viewers engaged it seems

[Spartykins]

idk who started the topic but I'm also iffy on weapons that just completely nullify certain things depending on how they function

[wifeburger]

Maybe people are just starting to realize it's Pyro's second best melee lol.

Homewrecker was always a stupid unlock by design because Class-counter unlocks are inherently awful even in concept.
