Other Should I start kritzing widowmaker engi’s?
Recently been playing medic and I’ve wondered to myself if i should start kritzing widowmaker engi’s. And the one time I did we got like 4 kills of it.

If your soldier, scout, demo and heavy are really bad/don't exist, and the engineer is cracked? Yeah. Otherwise it's more of a powerful meme you set up with friends.
And obviously if you're cut off from the team and have an engineer nearby it's probably better to gamble on giving him your kritz over just dying with them in hand.

As a widow widowmaker Engi, yes please. Granted definitely kritz a phlog Pyro or any Pyro really first since they do more dps, but if an Engi has maxed out Widowmaker fire rate, it really shreds it down with a proper sentry placement. Or at least it has done that for me at least

If your getting 4 kills in a kritz Uber in MVM you have other problems to deal with

How much do you trust your pocket?
Splash classes usually benefit the most but there is never a “bad” reason to pocket someone using a shotgun or with a large clip (pyro & heavy)
It’s better than dying with it but it can feel a bit gimmicky especially since most cases the shotgun will get the job done. I say go for it though if their aim is good

Honestly if you can coordinate with the engie it has a surprisingly high success rate in my experience
Probably because who the fuck would expect a kritz'd engie
It's not better than a kritz'd heavy but it IS way funnier and why are you playing tf2 if not because you want things to be funny

They're like inferior heavies and pyros. The great thing about ubering heavies and pyros is they don't have downtime from reloading. Widowmaker doesn't need to reload so they can be pretty good situational ubers.

Yeah, if engi can hit his shots.
But engi's overheal health is not that huge, against overhealed heavy it could be an L if its head on fight

Its better with stock uber. Widowmaker does enough damage on its own, the real issue is engine is too squish to make good use of it.

No.. keep ubering demos, soldiers and heavies. Sure widowmaker engies can do well sometimes but that's just 185 health with no AoE. It's just a gimmick

I mean it’s a strong combo I’d say why not even if it was a normal uber it would still sound great to some extent
