@Lycan: A support build with malf or a super techy BH with strong smoke can easily power through a TLM's defense to a point where TLMs can't even outheal, especially since using the high hp-recovery form of generator is harder on TLM (because of defensive balance). High HP is also very good if you can combine higher damage output with it. Against good players, TLM vs. Any class, even if the TLM is a good player (except for TLM vs. TLM) will normally result in TLM losing. The only exception would probably be merc because TLM's atom smasher would just mess up a merc's energy flow. BM has rage bludgeon and gun attacks that deal good damage against the tanky defenses of a TLM, CH, TM, and BH all have debuffs which cannot be countered very well either, especially since debuffs really need a nerf. Also, in 2v2, TLM is near useless because of its predictable skills and the fact that it can't recover energy on will. A TLM can't deal a kill in many cases when it really needs to, and losing its energy makes it prove a useless role in 2v2 unless it has an offensive-focused bot.
