Pretty simple suggestion, but it's definitely not that important.
I'm personally a big fan that Random Crits are now Melee only, but their random nature still presents a few issues I imagine. An option/server setting to make Melee hits function like the Gunslinger (Hit 1 > Hit 2 > Crit) from Live TF2 could feel a lot nicer/more consistent/strategic.
Melees that don't get Crits would still obey that rule, but just ignore the 3rd-hit-Crit mechanic I imagine.

Im kinda curious, would the math add up for overall damage be better than crits being luck-based?
Do note that this isn't a request for a basegame feature change, just the option to have it if people don't want Random crits.
Since you do still have the issue of someone getting 3 crits in a row regardless of their skill level/damage/etc.

You could instead edit the item schema
To give the gunslinger stat to every melee
So on your server you can have this already if you want to

Oh that's pretty handy to know. Though, I don't really have the possibility to host servers reliably, nor would I want to begin hosting a server, due to other life responsibilities.
Its definitely a more selfish request, but I figured i'd just put it out there.

Yeah this info would be useful to whoever is interested in making a server with this idea

Definitely, I appreciate you posting that info. I kinda figured you could edit items way easier in TF2c, but Global changes like that I wasn't expecting to be able to do I guess lol.
