I need to waste more time!
I'd like to see a Heavy minigun that gives him strong opposite momentum in mid air (so he can float around and stuff) might make playing him more interesting on maps that have loads of height variation. You could fly up to the second point on Badlands from the balcony, for instance.

There's a reason that Heavy isn't very mobile.
adult swim could tease shit on their show tonight
for those who don't know, sunday is their massive new episodes/premieres day along with new bumps.

He's very mobile with the GRUs already.
[QUOTE=Randdalf;36468595]He's very mobile with the GRUs already.[/QUOTE]
With the restriction of health.

I also mean mobility vertically which you suggest as well.

I would like to see something like that for Scout, rocket boots that he can use to glide.
>rocket jumper
>sticky jumper
>pyro airblaster? A (non)flame-thrower with unlimited airblasts which are also stronger and longer range than the normal ones? Maybe if aimed at the ground could launch pyro?
For that matter, what about the other classes getting orange-painted "practice weapons" that are also fun to screw around with? Although, I could actually see a lot of airblast-usage-heavy pyros actually using an "air-thrower" flamethrower as an actual primary.

Oh God no, He can already be a pain to fight against with double (or triple) jump, giving him something to make him even more mobile is a very bad idea.

i believe you can already reflect rockets to your feet and fly away

I've always wanted to see a Sniper rifle that can only do headshot damage, that would be a good pratice weapon in my opinion.
As for the rest of the classes, there's isn't a mechanic that needs a "practice weapon", maybe a spy knife that can only backstab?

Might as well give him a damn jetpack at this rate.
Oh wait

I think that jetpack will just make some flames on double jump, it won't have any actual effect.
If they even Trigger that sort of effect on anything. I doubt it was more than just a mockup. Though I suppose it could be seen as a set bonus effect.

jetpacks that shoot flames every double jump + burning tossle/bonk helm/whatever scout hat
barbecued scouts everywhere

I like cosmetics that do stuff like this.
Like how the Hotrod flips down when you bring out a PDA/haul buildings, just a small, cosmetic bonus for the item.

it wouldn't be that hard for them to implement, the particles already exist, it's just attaching them and hooking up the event
what if the capacitor could be a crafting ingredient for the new grordbort weaps?
up to now the only thing the capacitator has done was give some dude a clue to know when the pyro announcement would come and make a countdown website for that
"im sorry, we didn't had anything to give you people while we delayed a bit the update, so we just put whatever we had in our pockets into the drop system"
[QUOTE=Pentaric Acid;36468721]Meet the Fireproof Scout.[/QUOTE]
LOL, because scouts can reflect rockets, arrows, grenades, and so forth.
But I do get your meaning.
In any case, so far we've had a standard flamethrower (stock weapon), a flamethrower that limits air blasting in favor of flame-buffing (degreaser), and one that throws away air blasting altogether for flat out flame (Plogistinator). How about we at least get one that buffs the air blast? Like, +unlimited airblasts and -X amount of flame damage. Or take it a step further and go +unlimited more powerful airblasts -substantial damage.
I'd just like to see the situation get balanced. We've had enough flame-usage-heavy pyros, how about some love for the airblast-specialists?
EDIT: meant to say backburner when I said degreaser.
