I never know where to put my feedback on the current Xonotic balance, so I tend to put it here.
First of all, I really like the way the balance is evolving. I have two concerns I'd like to mention, though.
Lately, I found the Hagar extremely useful. I found it that useful that people started complaining it's lame to spam with hagar (I was quite successful at that). Maybe we should decrease the damage dealt by hagar just a tad. It needs to stay useful, though, but I feel I got frags most easily with hagar in any enclosed map (which most of the official maps are now).
Before that I thought the electro is a bit overpowered but nowadays it seems to me to be just fine in comparison with the other weapons.
I still would REALLY REALLY like to have a weapon that does mostly push damage. When playing on open maps (that are hopefully about to come to Xonotic, too), and especially when playing freezetag it would be very useful to have a weapon that has more push force but low damage. That way you could keep people from unfreezing team mates by pushing them away. We could of course just give the laser a bigger push for everyone but yourself... (sorry if I sound like the laser's main lobbyist AGAIN
)
