    	    <description><![CDATA[The only real use I've found so far where to DH is a lot better than stock is on granary last defense, otherwise in almost all other scenario's stock is more versatile and stronger.

I played with the DH a lot once it was allowed on TF2Pickup, and others did as well, but now some weeks have past and nearly nobody uses it anymore because of how important splash is. You'll always see certain players running the DH once it will be allowed s20, does that mean it will be the reason your team lost? Most certainly not.

Competition is a lot about adapting to the situation, if you're still going for those point blank meatshots like a retarded scout then yes, you will die a lot against a DH user.]]></description>

It doesn't ruin the meta, at all. In fact, it barely even affects the meta. You can't one shot scouts unless they run at you like retards, in which case they'd most likely get fragged anyway. You also seem to be forgetting the direct hit has practically no splash damage, making spamming redundant.]]></description>

So by your logic, american comp is not competitive? Most of these unlocks are allowed in ESEA and there's no problems with them. They all offer some advantage, but a much bigger downside.

    	    <description><![CDATA[I think there's no place for the dh in 6v6.
This weapon slows the game; using the dh you won't do many  jump-actions. Also a soldier who's using a normal rl won't jump a lot,  since arishtots with the dh are very easy to do and cause lot of damage. 
It easy counter scouts ( oneshotting them from short distance ), snipers and heavy. 

PS. I play soldier.]]></description>

For one thing the direct hit does not one shot medics, it has a max damage of 140 so you're talking shit. Secondly the DH is bad but it has situational use so we're not going to see it all the time just like we don't see it in ESEA all the time. Finally do you really want to go back to before gunboats were allowed? Does anyone on ETF2L really think that is better for the game?]]></description>
