Catcher's Mitt would have been better than the Sandman

Bonk is great, but just way too situational.
I'd like it if you could drink it while running. And if it put out fire. And if the default slowdown speed were the same as if you were using the exploit. And if you didn't take knocback from anything so long as you're on the ground.
e: and if it were made of pure gold. and if it gave you free candy whenever you drank it.
Bonk is incredibly useful at turning enemy sentry guns against them, though. You can use them to reach difficult areas or run behind the engineer and laugh.
Bonk brings great lulz in Mario_Kart when an enemy engie camps the big room in the middle with a sentry. Just run in there with your bonk and try to stay in a corner so the sentry can't reach you :buddy:

Bonk, you get any teammate that has a high damage output, and then the bonk'd scout runs at the sentry. It shoots at him and [I]only[/I] him, leaving the demo to easily dispose of it.[/QUOTE]
Actually this [b]could[/b] work if every player would play as a team...
But this does not happen in TF2 sadly, or if it happens only in Competetive (lolgrammar) or if one player keep spamming it until they actually realize that this is a good plan... Belive me I tried to do this countless times but teamwork is not there all the time... maybe if you play with only friends but not on an avrage server.
(yes there are grammar mistakes in it I'm in a hurry lol)

get on one and make it your home
everyone knows each other and everyone works together
problem solved
If the Catcher's Mitt would have been inplemented, scouts would no nothing but jumping to from line with it, trying to grab a projectile, to then run and bomb the other team. Seems pretty boring to spend half of the game trying to grab goddamn projectiles.

That'd actually be fun. And it would only be useful in 1on1 situations, especially if you can grab only one projectile at a time.

There are 2 types of servers i am on.
1. Clanservers
2. Mario_kart
Of course what i wrote i meant it for No.1
I think it might actually work as a good weapon, since you can naturally only hold one at a time. Plus a little 125 HP guy with the weakest melee probably wouldn't be able to throw them back at full strength.
Catching a rocket would lead to him being dragged into a wall and then exploded.
Catching a pipe bomb could result in the timed explosion going off.
Stickies could be detonated in his hand.
Arrows he would hilariously throw about 5 feet, making them as dangerous as lawn darts.

Except when your team is too retarded to understand they can run at a sentry if it is shooting at a bonked scout.
yeah all day yesterday all i did was play support scout with bonk and sandman and my team was to retarded to rush whenever i was taking all the damage or bonking the highest dps player.
tf2 is a lot more fun if you're not a k/d fag
Or maybe a bat that bounces them back. Like stickies before VALVe fixed it.
they could just nerf the glove by making the projectiles it catches have a couple second fuse
I think they should just make it so you can double jump while using the sandman.

Alallalalallalalalalala- boom.
It would be very interesting thing.

When that happens I always say "What the hell is you guys problem?" on the mic

Yeah, a scout without a projectile would be underpowered, a scout with a projectile would be overpowered. It gives no consistency.
[QUOTE=GetCatTonight;16667863]It would have, but it would also just be the compression blast but better.[/QUOTE]
The compression blast is bad, but storing it and releasing at will would be completely over powered.
Id hide all the ammo to grief
