The loss in passive health regen outstrips the health gained from attacking an enemy. Not to mention both classes you mention do more damage then the healing you can get out the blutsauger.

Not unless it's in the hands of a good medic, but then I could say the same for any weapon.

The blutsauger encourages the medic to stop healing and shoot it, so the medic overall gets less healing done plus less ubercharges. Healing and ubercharges are much more powerful than needles, so i think its fine.

If a heavy is struggling against a Blutsauger medic, then he's a terrible heavy.

[Dr._Strangelove]

i just feel it should be like it was before when you took -2 health per sec. also try using it aginst heavys and pyro its destroys every needle hit adds +3 health think about it

[Silverheart]

You are losing 2 health per second with blutsauger. Medic has a passive regen higher than that, so all that functionally happens is that you regenerate more slowly. And as has been said, if a pyro or heavy is losing to a blutsauger medic, they probably are awful or had low health already.

I don't care if its OP or not.
I still have better aim with the stock needlegun.

Yes. Because medic has innate regeneration of three per second. This results in you regenerating less health per second. The wording on the weapon is a little sloppy. "-2 health regenerated per second" would be more apt.

[Dr._Strangelove]

they should reword it

[luna!]

No, the buttsauce isn't OP. In the right hands, however, it can be an annoyance.

[stupendous man]

it's the worst...

it encourages medics to be freekills whilst making your health recharge unnoticable
