I think if you're not signed into a Gmail account it won't work. I'm not sure, because it works for me when I remove the spaces.

It just says server not found, is it suppose to be google and not googl?

No, goo.gl is right. Maybe it's on your end.

Either way, there's a link if you look over the new posts at /r/tf2

Okay so I know I'd say I'd leave the Booster Shot alone but I got into a recent heated debate with my friends and there's a pretty big split on this. So I'm running a poll here and on the TF2 subreddit using a throwaway to see everyone's general consensus on this.

how do you fuck up copy pasting a link?

Less jump height doesnt matter when you have infinite jumps.

I'd rather see the Jump Action Shotgun gain less jumps on hit or better yet have jumps obtained on damage done because you can farm jumps by dealing very minimal damage from far away. I'd like it if jumps were gained with every 75 damage or so with your primary or something.

Merasmus' Staff's on-kill bonus has its own crippling downsides so I'd hardly call it a straight upgrade. Being in a kart for the very, very long duration it gives is pretty fun and can be super-deadly, but for the entire duration you lose the ability to do anything but drive in a vehicle that is very difficult to effectively move around in. I think it's fine as-is.

I find that it's not really that difficult to maneuver in once you get some practice in (played a lot of Carnival of Carnage back in my Halloween days). I just found it weird because to me it feels like a lot of good upsides and the only downside is no random crits. It's not that big of a change that I feel is desperately needed, just something I thought was odd when I came across it.

After another quick look at the list of CTF2w weapons, here are some minor changes I'd like to see next.

The General's Reserve feels very useless right now compared to the other banners, and unless it gets another banner effect, I would like the effect to be activated upon Alt+Fire with your primary out or a faster deploy speed. It just feels too slow to use and activate.

The Crowd Control and Action Hale's deploy speed feels too slow and I'd rather have the extra range taken out in exchange for normal melee range. They both feel quite unneeded when compared to its other stats.

The Heavy Artillery Minigun takes too much damage for the rage to activate. I don't know if this is possible to change, but it needs less damage to activate because the amount of damage to use the rage for only a few seconds (and also taking account of the fact that the Heavy needs to survive for a long time to get that amount of damage) is insane.

The Tank Goodness could benefit from causing damage done along with damage received to charge the upgrades. The Battalion's Backup charged up with only damage taken at one time and it was awful, and I feel like that sets back this gun as well. However I feel like in exchange the upgrades should take more damage done and received to activate and maybe it decays slowly after a period of not taking or receiving damage.

The Graphite Punisher could go for a faster weapon switch time for all weapons while equipped so that it's not a pain between switching weapons to gain the mini-crit damage.

The Stealth Attack needs another positive attribute or something else because it feels quite underpowered. There's no real reason to use it because although you can attack while invisible, the regular knife would be a much better choice because it's able to kill the target instantly. I'd like to see it at least deal half of the user's total max health (150 on backstab of a Heavy, 75 on Medic, etc) so there's a chance of killing them.

I don't know if I've mentioned this before, but an extra positive attribute for the Spy with the Survival Gear equipped would be great. Considering that it takes away the only ranged weapon the Spy has, it feels very crippling.

The Eternal Youth Maiden should not allow Spy to have a 75% chance of dodging the enemy's attacks because it's luck based and honestly quite annoying. If a Spy fails to get a backstab on a Heavy, he shouldn't be able to dodge most of Heavy's bullets even though he can still track him. The Spy should be able to be killed because he failed to get the backstab. I suggest instead remove the 75% chance of dodging attacks and replace it with after 2 or 3 seconds of being fully cloaked, the user does not blink when being attacked and takes reduced damage. I don't know if that would be balanced or not. If someone has a better idea, I'd like it to be implemented.

Merasmus's Staff suffers from the pre-nerf Market Gardener treatment in which it's a straight upgrade to the normal stock only without critical hits. A minor change would be nice, like a -10% or -15% slower swing speed or a very, VERY small damage penalty to balance it out. Not too much though because I love the damn thing.

Also I noticed since the Outback Outlaw was removed from the game I feel like we should have a version 2 with new stats and the same model. I really liked it and felt like it gave a good promotion to a wonderfully modeled weapon.

The Outback Outlaw Mk. II
Sniper Bow (Primary)
[+]Provides knockback on hit, while increasing as arrow becomes charged
[+]Enemies hit by this weapon become "darted"
[+]Hitting a darted target will deal mini-crit damage, twice as much knockback, and remove the darted status
[+]Headshots provide three times as much knockback (headshotting a darted target will not increase knockback)
[-]Darted debuff is removed after 8 seconds
[-]-50% damage penalty

Model: Same as before but here's the reference anyway

For debuffed targets, I'd like this symbol to appear over their head as indication, but it is completely optional: https://wiki.teamfortress.com/w/images/c/cc/Mannpower_Mode_Powerup_Precision_Icon.png

The Quadruple Bypass
Medic Syringe Gun (Primary)
[+]+20% damage bonus
[~]Clip size is equivalent to Ubercharge percentage (0 needles in clip at 0%, 100 needles in clip at 100%)
[-]Reload rate decreases as Ubercharge increases - up to -20% slower reload rate at full Ubercharge

Model: https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=464992289

The Life Support
Medic melee
[+]Max health increases as Ubercharge increases - up to +20 max health at full
[-]-10 initial max health

Model: https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=879215&searchtext=

Just a few tools to help Medic's survivability at higher Ubercharge levels

A reminder that you can still die by afterburn and Pyros easily. The fire resistance isn't that good and makes afterburn still do noticable damage. I'd rather just run Mad Milk because it extinguishes the Scout and other teammates and doesn't force you to have your melee out.
