Discussion: [Fix] Vaccinator ber duration upgrade fix posted in Team Fortress 2

When the Vaccinator was updated in the Gun Mettle update, the update changed how the Vaccinator functioned. Instead of using a long duration Übercharge, it now instead uses 4 mini Übers. When this was changed, it broke the Über duration upgrade in MVM. Instead of increasing the charge time for the 4 mini ubers, it just doesn't...do anything.

When this was pointed out to me by Shylo, I looked into potential fixes and viola! I fixed it. Depending on your rank of the Über duration upgrade, it increases the time for each mini uber from the base 2.5 seconds.

Level 1: 4.5 seconds
Level 2: 5.5 seconds
Level 3: 6.5 seconds

When I originally implemented this fix, it only increased Über times by 0.5 seconds per upgrade, but per a suggestion from Maragi, the above values are the current ones. I am not good with game balancing, and it's not something I don't like to do, so I am totally open for feedback.

These adjusted values make the upgrade worthwhile, and makes the Vaccinator more useful especially in larger player count games.
