Natascha Not Working?

[Sn1PeR]

Is it just me, or is the Natascha not slowing anyone down anymore? I was really excited to finally kill 50 scouts with that gun, but now it's pretty much useless

probly, that gun needs a real good tweaking.

idk I don't use natascha very much. Sasha is my girl!

It does slow people down an awful lot, as the heavy you dont see it as much though.

There are multiple posts on the TF2 forums that it isnt slowing since the patch.

Thanks, I knew I wasn't crazy! It's pretty bad to unload on a scout for 3 seconds w/ the natascha only to be shot to death with a shotgun from point blank. Everyone should be using the normal Sasha until this gets resolved.

spy sapping my natascha! it happens to me some times so i had to switch back to sasha

i noticed that. i saw that scouts were able to run away from me in a vent which used to not be possible with natascha.

I must admit it seems Natasha isn't slowing me down at all

I got shot with Natascha earlier and it slowed me down. Dunno if it was less than usual or not, but I was definitely slowed down.

There appears to be a glitch where a Heavy shooting at a Scout, whether it's Sasha or Natascha, may miss the Scout for a short duration until bullets finally start hitting.

I, for one, can attest that in Badwater Basin, I was a Scout pushing the cart when a Heavy ambushed me. He point-blanked shot me for a good five seconds until I finally got hit and died instantly. And this happened in similar fashions a few times as well., sometimes allowing me to escape, sometimes not.

And no, there were no lag spikes, as everything else around us was moving quite smoothly.

Their was a discussion on steamforums that natascha is in fact broken , valve did it again !! XD Anyways, I think *SHHHH EVERYONE QUIET VALVE MIGHT HEAR US, THIS IS A CONSPIRACY*, that it would be too hard for people to get some scout achievement if natascha actually worked. SHHHHHH!!!!!!! DON'T SAY ANYTHING!~

I'd say it's definitely broken because it's not working for me either. I was shooting at a medic and usually I can slow them down and kill them but they've been managing to run away normally. And it hasn't been slowing down ubers or scouts either. Valve has some explaining to do.

They broke it again, doesn't matter because I have always used Sasha, so much better at killing things like other heavies.
