no scope snipers ftl 
they have a crosser now

* Modified critical hit calculation. Overall, critical hit chance is now much more recent-performance based:
o Base chance is now 2% (was 5%).
o Bonus range based on damage done changed from 0%-15% to 0%-10
o Damage range required for bonus changed from 0-1600 to 0-800
Demos and heavies will LOVE this! You'll see much more crits from the experienced guys now. Big buff for experienced players. IMO, crits should be earned but not random. Why random?
* Reduced random damage spread applied to all player damage from +-25% to +-10%
Seriously, 25% was wayyy too high a variance anyway.
* Slight reduction (improvement) of the minigun's spread
Heavy getting more buffs
* Increased flare direct hit damage from 20 to 30
meh, slight buff
* Rewrote Natascha's slowdown code to be more consistent
more Heavy buff
* Increased soldier primary ammo count from 16 to 20
meh, slight buff. So they have to reload less? wee doggies

Guess again. Demos are soooo dominant now (feel free to take a poll), particularly so on dustbowl and warpath maps. Plus they just got a crit buff. Soldiers got seriously nerfed, yet they are still heavily played. Even with a nerf, demos will remain dominant.

Why do people hate this? I mean yes they may nerf stuff in your eyes but think what will happen with each new upate there is still like 5 more after the scout...

Crits are now more performance bases meaning if you're good, you will get more crits as opposed to random ones.

It looks like the chance lowered, but it's easier to get a higher chance by doing damage now.
using dustbowl/goldrush type maps as an excuse as to why demos are dominant is a bad argument. theres about 4000 choke points on these maps. anytime you have a choke point it favors demos cause they can sticky spam and just launch pipes in the general direction of the other team. play on maps like badlands, granary, fastlane, well, badwater etc and demos aren't so dominant at all.

Eh, I don't think this was a bad or good upgrade. Honestly, it's just a bit random and out of the blue
Right now it may seem random, but once scout update comes out, I think in retrospect this will see as a really needed update.
