Okay, no wait

What if we replaced Soldier's Primary slot...

With a bowie knife.

It'd have to be powerful as fuck. And give him alot of buffs, since it removes basicly his main way to do damage.

Whenever I play Solly it's primarily with the Shotgun and Equaliser/Pain Train anyways. I hardly ever use the Rocket Launcher for more than rocket jumping.

However, I'd like to see the Bowie Knife give him BLOODRAGE.
The meter is filled by KILLING PEOPLE.
When the meter is full, the Soldier's movement speed is that of the Medic. AND HE YELLS WHEN HE ATTACKS.
Oh and I guess the knife would do more damage than the Shovel???
I dunno I'm just making this up as I go.

Scout needs a weapon called something to the effect of "The Annoying Fly". It'd be a giant flyswatter, and it would increase the Scout's movement speed on hit. For a trade-off, probably just reduced damage, or make him unable to stop moving while under the effect. Oh, and it should probably make a buzzing sound too...

Yes. Just yes.

ALLLL ABOARD THE CRAZY TRAIN! NOW LEAVING FOR BAD IDEA TOWN! CHOO CHOO

Guy's the heavy needs a new minigun that freezes scouts to the ground when they are hit, most scouts suck anyways am I right?

So they can't jump? At a cost of 50% less damage. :3

 We have a minigun that slows down people, but does less damage and the regular minigun. The DPS heavies want a minigun too, let's make a minigun that makes you slower, but deals more damage! Oh wait, we already have that...
 Seriously, +80% damage, at the cost of being slower, for the class that needs speed LEAST? I tried it, and felt no difference in speed, but my enemies died a lot faster.

 Also, the backburner. Nuff' said.

Scout needs a slight boost. Soldier, and demoman got AoE. Pyro and Heavy got DPS at close range. Medic has one of them. The only thing you can kill is is snipers, and engineers trying to get some metal. The snipers still turn 180 degrees and headshot you 50% of the time... He needs a little boost.

If that happens, either the snipers are cheating, or you're moving way too slow as a scout. As it stands, the scout is already pretty nasty in the right hands; it's just requires a good ping and reflexes. If the scout has mad milk as well... truly terrifying.

The Scout is actually my favorite class, I always play him when I get the chance on that TF2 Pugs website.

Scout is actually one of the most powerful classes, but only on a smaller servers.  Even the best scrim scouts struggle to play on a 32 player server with anything that looks like skill, there is too much random stuff flying about.  A good scout should own most classes (solli being noteable exception)  in a 1v1 type encounter under real game conditions (MGE is not real game).  Just you will almost never see a 1v1 fight on a server with more than 12 people.
 
  Yep, stun locks are a terrible idea, especially with straight shooting weps like the rocket launcher, even with 0% damage I can see this sort of thing being stoopidly overpowered.

  As someone who plays med alot, im not huge on the idea of anything that encourages personal meds either.  Too easy to end up with situations where our 2 combos fight the enemys 2 combos and everybody else just gets killed by them.  ULTRA noob unfriendly and in a game where not many people play med, a damn pain

[Bdthemag]

I disagree, scouts on 32 player servers just have to be slightly better then the ones on the lower player servers. I do fine as a scout on a 32 player server as long as I focus on the objectives...

[Tradanbattlan]

Scouts are better when there's more distractions.

[Duke 2.0]

 Depends on how open the map is. If a scout has plenty of space to move and a lot of side options they benefit from more people. If there are a lot of tunnels and constricted areas they want less people to have to step toe to toe with. A scout can do well on single opponents in constructed spaces if they can jump over them and they don't have area of effect weapons that work at extremely close range.

[Jackrabbit]

Actually, a rocket launcher that is easier to juggle with but much harder to kill people would make the soldier great for breaking up assaults and supporting, but it's probably got a few huge flaws that I'm missing because I didn't think about this at all.
