Look I'm not the best sword player, ive beaten some platinum teams, gotten some good clips, but I'm no expert.
For me, the biggest nerf to sword is that I now lose to heaviest consistently because what I'm going to do is now so much more predictable. My previous approach to heavies once close with an m2 involves jumping around past them left and right while swinging the sword so the tip hits the enemy on the side of my screen as I pass. This was the most effective way to get the 3 hits needed to kill a heavy after lunging in, without dying to their shorter ttk weapon.
With m1 lunge, I have two options. I either go directly towards them consistently facing them, making me very easy to ki
