Valves Melee Mess

So other than say the spy's knife, does anybody use the stock melee weapon? Any reasons for or against stock melee weapons?

Same. I was using the Tribalman's Shiv but usually only melee whilst jarating someone.

I use the stock bat, although the Atomizer is a straight upgrade. I almost never play spy, but when I do I usually use the knife. Otherwise, no, I don't use any stock melees.

Soldier: Equalizer
Demo: Paintrain
Heavy: GRU
Pyro: Axtinguisher
Medic: Ubersaw
Sniper: Shahanshah
Engineer: Gunslinger

Thats my favorite Valve TF2 tip, "The ubersaw swings slower then the bonesaw, cnosider using the bonesaw on defence when an uber isnt as important"

You mean everyone doesn't use the bonesaw?

There's 0 reason to use the Medic or Pyro base items:

Amputator - Official TF2 Wiki | Official Team Fortress Wiki
Third Degree - Official TF2 Wiki | Official Team Fortress Wiki

(admittedly small bonuses but 100% straight upgrades)

If crits were off, the list would be longer.

Most other classes have situational options. Unless you consider the frying pan a straight upgrade.
