butcher can be a really fun class, but gets held back because of the changes that have been made. so here are some changes to him i would like to see (split into 2 parts because the text would be too long lol):
the meathook
i suggested this many times now but i'll say it again: i think butcher should have the ability to charge up his hook. currently if you press the hook button it will always go into the direction you were looking when you pressed the button, but i think it should be thrown when the animation finishes, so you still have time to adjust and it has average range. if you hold the button, he will do an animation where he only aims with the hook and there will be a bar that fills similar to guest's bar when he's charging up a leap and the camera would zoom in similar to scout's slingshot. the longer you hold the more the bar fills and the hook will go farther, but takes more stamina away. a fully charged hook can also grab players with helmets, but players with flashlight helmets won't be grabbed but the helmet will go into the butchers hands and also damaged. another addition i think would be good is to bring back the feature where you can interact with moving staircases, bridges etc. idk why this ever was removed because it was fun messing around with it. of course you wouldn't be able to interact certain things like the rocket door.
