BWR - Changelog 17/09/23

Melee
+ Hit registration made more consistent due to interaction with certain plugins
On-Kill Effects
+ Properly credits on-kill effects for "honorbound" mechanics when finishing off enemies
Buildings
~ Teleporter/dispenser health while building should match progress
Quick-Fix
~ Ubercharge automatically sets mirroring on, now properly healing the user
Eviction Notice
+ Fixed damage vulnerability being active before first drawing them
Buffalo Steak Sandvich
+ Fixed bug with attempting to switch to disabled weapon ending the buff early
Some fixing of unintended bugs on the server to make these mechanics more consistent.

Cloak and Dagger
+ Removed hidden slower cloak speed
A fix to a hidden downside to the weapon to make it consistent with stock.

Solemn Vow
+ Removed No Random Crits
+ Removed firing speed penalty
- Added -10% slower move speed while active
- Added +50% extra push force taken from damage while active
The prior downsides weren't didn't fit the intended design. With these downsides, it would be decently more difficult to engage in melee combat with the movement inhibitors and without a direct damage nerf, and with some skill the extra damage force could be used to help surf damage to escape.

Disciplinary Action
+ Removed holster speed penalty
- Added +40% blast damage from rocket jumps
Simply making it clunkier to use didn't much affect the huge benefit of using it, and any further melee combat buffs simply wouldn't impact that either. Instead, the added mobility you and your team are given was balanced against a downside that costs you your core mobility option in rocket jumping, requiring you consider your health more in making jumps or use something like gunboats which synergize less with the team support aspect of this weapon.

Conniver's Kunai
- Max HP regen reduced to 2/s (from 3/s)
The downside after one stab didn't appear to have an impact when making a single stab and escaping with the overheal, due to the high speed your health is restored.

Southern Hospitality
- Reduced extra dispenser range to +300% (from +350%)
A nerf meant to rein in the range to something more reasonable, matching the range limit seen in MvM.

Crusader's Crossbow
- Increased max primary ammo penalty to -90% (was -75%)
A simple nerf meant to make the use of the weapon require more ammo maintenance, and make each bolt less disposable to spam.

Vaccinator
~ Reverting all prior changes
+ Increased uber build speed to +100% (was +67%)
+ Increased uber duration to 3 seconds (was 2.5s)
+ Uber effects remains on user while switching weapons
- Removed passive resistances
- Decreased uber's base damage resistance to 33% (was 75%)
- Cannot capture objectives under uber effects
The intent with these changes is to specialize the weapon into its uber’s disposable nature at the cost of the massive resistance it provides to counter individual enemies. With an even faster uber rate, the Medic is encouraged to spend their bubbles more proactively rather than reactively, preferably in place in waiting for the slow overheal building.
