overpowered – The Daily SPUF

Maybe Wukong is a little too strong…

May 20, 2022May 10, 2022 Medic 2 Comments monkey king, overpowered, strong, warframe, wukong

With every anniversary event in Warframe, we are also given a peak into player stats. After all, it’s interesting to see which frames are popular and which ones aren’t. However, for the last couple of years, we’ve had the same Warframe at the top, quite a bit higher than expected. The frame in question is Wukong Prime, which has managed to beat all three starters when it comes to most-used Warframes. But why though, why is Wukong Prime so popular? Plenty of everything. Wukong has got a little bit of everything. He has a damage-dealing twin that uses our weapons;… [Continue Reading]

Liberty Liability – Having fun with the Liberty launcher

November 11, 2015 Medic 2 Comments balance, overpowered, soldier, weapon

I’ve always been a bit of a purist. For years, I insisted on using stock weaponry on almost all my classes. I still do for Sniper, Spy and Scout, and I use mostly stock on Demoman, Pyro and Heavy. It took me a long time to finally let go of my trusty Bonesaw in exchange for the Solemn Vow. Soldier though has always been different for me. I’ve never been able to settle on a loadout I actually enjoy, and that includes stock weapons. Now I have. Before I go on about the Liberty Launcher, I want to explain WHY… [Continue Reading]

There’s a lot of stuff wrong with Team Fortress 2 currently. People are having huge problems with performance. Cheat-users are making new accounts the second they are banned. Everyone still hates Sniper and Engineer. There’s bugs that need fixing. The Betas that Valve made have been ignored and are really just giant failures. Quickplay still hasn’t been removed.

There’s a few quality of life things we can do just to make people happy. So this article is going… [Continue Reading]

The Crusader’s Crossbow is overpowered

June 27, 2015 Medic 0 Comments criticism, medic, overpowered, weapon

Not so serious title there. It’s one of those attention-grabbing things that would automatically get you a huge pile of downvotes on any site that uses an upvote / downvote system. But there is some truth to that attention-grabbing title. There is something wrong with the Crusader’s Crossbow. Firstly, a historical thing. Crusaders were bastards. All they did was incite holy war against people with different beliefs. Bastards, the lot of them. Anyway, back to our version of this medieval beauty. The Crusader’s Crossbow is the only non-Syringe Gun Medic primary. The only one. Probably forever, since Medic primaries are… [Continue Reading]

Why is this still a thing? – Baby Face’s Blaster

April 8, 2015 Medic 0 Comments balance, broken, overpowered, scout, weapon

Baby Face’s Blaster. No, not Baby Blaster. Not Baby Face Blaster. Not Baby’s Face Blaster. Baby Face’s Blaster. Named after a bank robber of all things. Scout’s not exactly the person to rob a bank, not when he’s smart enough to invest in Tom Jones merchandise. The weapon though is something of a masterpiece – it combines an interesting concept with some stupid as heck implementation. Baby Face’s Blaster – why is this still a thing? Let’s start off with the basic stats. Dealing damage increases boost, which increases movement speed. This is in exchange for 10% movement speed, -34%… [Continue Reading]

Medic weapons are all strangely overpowered…

February 13, 2015 Medic 0 Comments analysis, medic, overpowered, theory, weapon

When someone says ‘ balanced weapons’, people always have the habit of turning to us Medics and our rather small inventory. Four Medi Guns, four syringe-shooting weapons and five limb-destroying melee weapons. People say to us that our weapons are all fine and dandy, the only bad syringe gun is the Blutsauger, since it promotes Battle-Medicing, and the Bonesaw, which is useless. But hang on a second. The most useless Medic weapon is the stock melee one? I thought we were supposed to be balanced? This thought made me look deeper into Medic weaponry. And deeper, and deeper. I quickly… [Continue Reading]
