Is shovel over powered?

IShootCats · October 2010

This is for the people who mostly play gm matches. I've been using combat axe for a while now and I love it sometimes it's 1 hit kill for left kill sometimes it's not. But I look at shovel and think to myself isn't it a bit over powered? Anyone else agree with me? Maybe it's not over powered but what I do know is the speed of the shovel is greatly over rated I mean cmon you have to use 2 of your hands to use it and it's faster than a combat axe which just uses 1 hand. Does anyone think it should be lowered a bit?

From the perspective of your enemy, the animation of the shovel lags.
Other than that, it's pretty much the same as a combat axe.

I don't think so I've been seeing people getting 4 kills with shovel once even a 5 and no he was not a hacker.I also don't mean he killed a person stood still another person comes kills repeat, I mean he was litterly jumping around taking them down one by one.

I think the speed of it should be lowered looking at the screen shot more now..

It's slower than the knife, I think it's the same as the axe.

Axe has left click 1 Clio to the face basically and it's fast. So no shovel isn't op

I thought the range made it op?

It's only slightly longer than the axe, the katana is much stronger in terms of reach. A good bhopper with reduced breath could kill a person before he is even heard with any zp weapon. What makes the shovel so different than the other weapons is the lag, which makes it hard to judge when the hit will actually register, and therefor harder to dodge. This is only amplified when your opponent is hardly visible (ghost).

In terms of damage the axe is a one-shot kill to head with a right click, but isn't a one-shot kill if it hits the legs with a left click. The shovel is a one-hit kill everywhere with right click but cannot one hit-kill anywhere with the right click, so it all balances out.

The shovel is lag, that's the only problem. I'm dead before the other guy even starts swinging the shovel. And when I stab him it has no effect because he's not actually in the location I'm stabbing at.
