But I find that hard to believe when the Half-Zatoichi is another health-giving Demoknight melee that doesnвЂ™t crippleВ your ranged weapons. If youвЂ™re retaining nothing from the previous design, then why are you even considering it the same design?В This means their goal had to be to remove the old stats and not to add the new ones they mustВ have seen the old Persian as overpowered or unhealthy for TF2. So why didnвЂ™t Valve just addВ an entirely new sword forВ the new stats? Just grab one of the manyВ amazing sword models on the Steam Workshop and youвЂ™ve got a new melee weapon. And this makes sense after all a rework isnвЂ™t supposed to create an entirely new weapon. Valve has never done this every weapon rework has at least retained at least one stat from the old weapon, usually theВ thematic вЂmost noticeableвЂ™ stat. The old Persuader is no longer in Team Fortress 2, the new one doesnвЂ™t even share the sameВ health-giving concept. Melee hits refill 20% of your charge meter.Д®very upside, every downside, gone.

(IвЂ™m not counting the generic sword stats that every bladed Demoknight melee shares, those are inherent in the classification.) For comparison, we went from this: IвЂ™ve searched my memory banks and the TF2 Wiki and IвЂ™m almost positive the Tough Break Persian Persuader is the first weapon ever to have every single one of its stats removed and replaced with new ones.

I know I already wrote an article on this, but the Persian Persuader has become the first weapon removed from Team Fortress 2.
