As of writing this, I'm playing on Hightower | No Carts and there's a bunch of engineers on the enemy team completely stopping us of going out by having tons of sentries everywhere. People started to complain, and I personally start to get slightly annoyed as well.

So as the title states, I suggest removing the ability to build sentries. Now I would've kept it as Mini-sentries if this whole thing with everyone going as engineers to build sentries wasn't a thing.
This isn't common, but the times it does happen it could lead up to people getting annoyed with the spam of sentries.

If people would disagree with the removal of building sentries, then please consider the removal of Mini-sentries and/or put a class limit of 2-3 on the Engineer's class.

The thing with this is, in my opinion...
If you can't get out of spawn, it IS spawncamping...
And if it is somehow not spawncamping, become spy and sap the hell outta those sentries.

My opinion thou.

It's not completely spawncamping, or at least I wouldn't consider it. But it does very limit our chances of setting up a fight against 5 lvl 3 sentries who are constantly being healed/wrangled ect.

And it's very difficult to counter it as spy, even if multiple ones go in as there will be plenty of other people to kill you. It's very chaotic, you will either get blocked in or simply die to the spam.

If both options don't work, then I get it.
Those engineers are just general pricks, but I myself don't really like limiting classes.
If it is needed, then it's good thou.

So basically, I am neutral on this. (even thou I don't like the idea of limiting classes)

I'm feel like the same general effect could be done with a team of snipers. Or maybe a group of a bunch of soldiers lingering around spawn. Or maybe even a bunch of pyros. That being said, I don't think we should limit engies. It sounds like a team effort to be a dick, and any team of competent players can clap you before you get too far out of spawn.


Try countering the engies as a heavy. Hide behind a wall so you can see them but the only part of your body showing is your head. Then, shoot them. Heavy fires from his head, not his gun, so the wrangled sentries will have a harder time hitting you, and the normal sentries might not even target you. Worth a shot at least.

I like the idea of just removing mini sentries. They are such a pain

Added a poll just for mini sentries, since I don't want to make the engineer completely useless

there are lots of ways to counter this, ubered heavy (or any class), spy with pyro or heavy backup, scout drawing their fire with bonk, demo man with the loch n load or stickies, peaking around corners as a sniper, cow mangler solder. you just have to work with your team and use a strat that is good for the situation
