The rules of balance

''Without rules everything falls apart''

Rules of Balance:

# All weapons should be viable in the right situations
# General weapons must not overshadow niche weapons
# A weapon can be a different version of another weapon as long they do not do the same thing. (More damage and faster attack speed is not the same thing, even though both affect the damage per second)
# Class integrity: Classes and their repsective weapons shall remain unique and refrain from blending together

Margin of Error:

'''How much a mistake impacts each class''

Margin of Error: Low Example
* Heavy's minigun shoots in a wide circle and only needs to be pointed at an enemy. Corrections to the aim are made fairly easily, allowing for many mistakes while still doing decent damage.

Margin of Error: Medium Example
* Soldiers or Demomen having an explosion radius can still make them do decent damage, even if the rockets/bombs don't hit the center of the target. This allows them to get some consistent damage, even when not hitting perfect shots.

Margin of Error: High Example
* The Sniper's Sniper rifle will do no damage to anything if he misses, basically rendering him useless
* If a Spy is found out before getting a backstab, the spy will get killed and not killed anyone, basically rendering him useless.
