Indeed. Voicing concerns over gameplay here is not likely to garner a response from the tf2 dev team.
Though, I wonder in what way we (server owners) can affect the changes on our end regarding the heavy? I know that there was a hidden cvar (tf_stickydamage_ramp or something like that, can't remember) for the demoman since projectiles = entities, however there is no hidden cvar for heavy since his weapon is hitscan and those do not generate entities, so its more or less an attribute of the weapon I believe. Is there a plugin that could potentially find/modify the attribute of the weapon itself or just a way to figure out where/what to change on our end to affect the ramp up for the heavy?
