Yes, I know this was just denied. However, the thread was old, had a lot of old votes and JB is different now. It is unfair that Demo's can random crit a soldier or heavy and practically one shot them. It's super annoying and just makes the game unfair imo. I think random crits have no place in our current JB.

I’ve said this in several previous threads regarding banning weapons and class-specific abilities from jailbreak servers. In my opinion all random crits are fair and balanced, and therefore they should not be a significant influence on the game. It is widely accepted to disable random crits on competitive and MGE servers to endure a fair and sportsmanlike match for COMPETITIVE purposes. Jailbreak is not a competitive game mode, therefore I don't see any significant reason to remove this game feature from the servers. After all, when you installed Team Fortress 2 you signed up for random crits too.

When I installed TF2, I also signed up for updates to the game too. That's not happening, so I don't see why random crits should have any correlation. The "its part of the game, deal with it mentality" would of killed the game year ago. You may think getting killed by no fault of your own is fun, especially with charging Demos all over, but I don't.
The Demoman’s ability to charge while holding a shield is a built in feature. Depending on the shield you are using and your technique for using it, you either deal critical or mini-critical damage to your enemy. Disabling the speed boost for RED demoknights without the rebel status was already a substantial nerf, and disabling random crits on top of that would make no significant change towards the situation as you can still die from a critical hit dealt with the shield.
Random crits are widely viewed as imbalanced, and for good reason. As @Preacher Platinum said, "3x damage is 3x damage", and I dont see how we can just accept that in such an experience and skill-oriented environment. When everything is at it's most tense, the last thing anyone counts on, or even wants to see, is a random crit suddenly ruining any efforts made previously.

Demos do not random crit (assuming you are talking about their melees). Contrary to popular belief, REDs only receive random crits for their primary and secondary. If they are receiving “random” crits, it is most likely due to them attacking a class while charging. I’m going to have to see a more compelling argument in order for my vote to be swayed.

I don't know where that says "Demomen cannot random crit." Besides, I'm just using that as an example. I know how charging works, I'm usually on the receiving end of a charging skullcutting scotsman.
I don't really see how it's fun to be doing well on a day like Pokemon Day because you prepared, only to be shit on by some default Sniper who got lucky.
There's a huge difference between "I don't want the Medic to pop out of a crowd beyond my control and one shot me" and "a full lockdown on fun."
REDs do not receive random crits for their melees is the message I’m trying to convey when I said “Demos do not random crit.” I also said that in response to the example you gave for your suggestion.
Alright, send the video my way. I would love to see REDs having the ability to random crit with their melee.
I agree with this fact with Brando Oats. REDs can random crit with their melee weapon. I've also witnessed this multiple times during Pokemon day, when a RED Soldier would one-shot a BLU Pyro with his shovel.
