Well I have a Strange Gunslinger which goes for almost 50 euro. Also some other salvaged stranges
 
EDIT: why
 

No, it's a wheel.

THIS IS WHY I USE SHIELDS!

This doesn't just hurt Comp players. This hurts anyone who is halfway decent at this game. It won't affect the usual Valve server dreck, because even the weakened SL will stomp over them since they're too dumb to WASD, and remain too dumb to WASD for the 2 seconds required for the Stickies to reach max again.
 
Who it WILL hurt are the people the game should be balancing FOR. The mid skill players, on high level pubs. In catering to the LCD, they've not changed anything for the people they're catering to, and fucked over everyone else in the process.
 
And it IS for profit. In attempting to cater to these people, you keep them on slightly longer. Maybe ensure they buy something else from the store.
 
Because you know who doesn't make Valve money? The established players. The people who've been supporting the game for years now. They're simply outnumbered by the newbies, and so are irrelevant to Valve's plans for the game at this point. TF2 is nothing but a cash grab now.
 
There's a big difference between including a ton of content in the game and balancing it to improve the game, and including a ton of content and "balancing" it to placate people who are terrible.
 
This isn't "Fox Only, Final Destination" it's "I liked playing Snake, he was balanced and fun. But they made all of his attacks deal 1/3 less damage because a lot of the Mario players were complaining, and they outnumber me".

Actually, moving buildings was a really big change. You could set up places you couldnt anymore because there was no metal nearby, and could actually have a purpose on offense.
 
 
Was this nerf a bit heavy handed? Yeah, probably.
Was it needed? Debatable.
Is it effective? Yes.
Does it define the class role better? Yes.
 

 
Valve are putting demo back into the place they originally meant him to have. Stickys were meant to be placed for defense, not used for offense. Yeah, they should have done this sooner, like way sooner.  They picked a bad time too. But how long have people been whining for an update? (And for reference, they DO do this to dota 2 as well. Servers go down for patches, meta changes in the middle of tournaments, ect. )
 
It wasn't the best change they could have made, but I see the logic, and I like the logic. 

I am rather disappointed that nobody mentioned this, even though it doesn't really belong in this thread.

"This is a bucket."
"Dear God."

I'm crying with laughter right now.

Some sportswriter took the latest NBA 2K game, went into season mode, and replaced all the draft classes with absolute minimum-stat players
this was the result
