disagreements about some recent balance changes

[Ikea]

Also as additional bitching I also find it very odd that Police Baton traitor item was removed. I never ever saw it being "abused", and I only heard it was removed because one admin had bad time against it in one shift. It is just another example of how things get removed for seemingly no reason.

it is an infinite use stun baton - most likely a victim of the several patches a while ago that are trying to change combat to be less stun-oriented. like CSaber having its stun removed etc.

It was primarily removed just because it made baton.dm code way more shit then it is (and that code is already really bad). Several hundred lines of code were there just because the riot baton needed it to work. The weapon itself wasn't that fun to fight against, so it wasn't really worth spending hours refactoring hundreds of lines of code for a weapon that all together isn't great.
