C'mon dude... I know it was a small exaggeration but you don't have to prove me wrong to a small thing like this. But I shall correct myself, 3 needles do more damage than a crossbow bolt. Yet, I find it easier to connect 3 needles within 2 seconds than connecting a single bolt in that short amount of time.]]></description>

When I first saw the buff I was extatic. Who wouldn't be, I mean, additional heals without having to wait with the reload? It's awesome.

I saw the exploit and tried on pubs, it was something really necessary.

The nerf though? I can swallow the damage nerf, but the biggest advantage Xbow had was the healing burst. Even though you have the passive reload right now, it requires a lot more aiming, precision to even deal out those heals to your teammates cause of the heal nerf, I wouldn't even bother shooting enemies with it. 

A sneeze deals more damage than Xbow right now.

If I'd still be playing competetive, I'd switch back to needles. Simply because Crossbow is not worth having, even with those long range passive reload heals, and with the needles you can still defend yourself and save up the uber instead of dropping it due to 5 crossbow needles sticking out of the Scout.]]></description>

I understand what you mean but the stuff about highlander is so not true :D Have you ever played HL medic? There's never a fraction of a second where its a good thing to whip out anything else than medigun, considering there's always at least 5 players begging for heals at the same time...

Anyway RIP XBOW... It was fun while it lasted. No point using it for 20 dmg shots when 2 syringes already do the same damage...]]></description>

+1 to this.
Although it's mainly because I hate low-div Medics who spend their entire team shooting their bow then dying because they overextended]]></description>
