Is Uber based off of damage taken, or is it a time limit?

Someone kept on saying a few nights ago that the Uber lasted for so long, but it could be ended earlier depending on how much damage he takes. He was probably wrong, but it's an interesting concept. What do you guys think?

Definitely timer based...I've seen some ubers take down 3 sentries while being pummeled by the rest of the enemies team for the full time.

Uber lasts about 10 seconds, the only thing that can shorten it is if the medic switches targets mid-uber, then it tends to go down a little but quicker.

it's 8 seconds no matter what

Hmmm, I thought so before, but I just wanted to bring it up. He said he head shotted the uber twice and it died, but he probably shot it at the end of the timelimit. That would be a good Medic gun though! The Uber is based off of damage, with a set timelimit of say 20 seconds or so, so you can kill it early, but it lasts 20 seconds.

You sure? I know when I juggle ubers it seems to burn a lot quicker.

you could disconnect the uberee from the uberer or cause him to switch targets which does cause it to run out a bit quicker

When two people are invincible at the same time, it runs out one and a half times as fast, I believe. If you juggle perfectly, it should last just over five seconds.
