Is this a legal strategy?

Seems to incorporate normal game play mechanics and serves a strategic purpose. I can see valve making an ubered sawstrike not absorb uber energy in the future though as it just seems like an unstoppable strategy.

I could see that being one of Valve's original strategies with it, much like the UberKriegHeavy strategy. It just takes a good amount of skill to pull it off successfully.

Well, I guess it's a negative side effect of the new unlocks.

Lets be above the bar and not do this

I think as long as you're actually furthering your objective (which clearing out the defenders on Goldrush is crucial to the objective, or at least scaring them away from it while teammates push), this is legal, no? It's teamwork oriented and tactical, so I really don't see what's wrong with it. The only time I could see this being bad is if the medics weren't helping their team at all, like going for points on 2fort rather than helping the team get the schems.

This looks like an awesome way to spawn camp. I need to get my third unlock.

I didn't actually watch the entire video; after the first example it's pretty self-explainatory.

All you have to do to counter them is to hide for 10 seconds or get a demo/solider to split them.
