It's bound to happen at some point, so I thought I'd get in there first!
What do you want to see for the Scout update? Scouts already pretty damn balanced if you're playing in the right mindset so what do the lovely developers have in mind? How are they going to "provide tools that make him useful in maps like Dustbowl & Goldrush?" Do we want to see the Dildo as an official replacement for the bat? Shall I finish asking pointless questions that no-one really cares about?
*wees in anticipation*

Hopefully it will make Natasha more useful, I have visions of 20 inexperienced scouts being mown down by 1 natasha wielding heavy

Natasha already is useful, especially on defence.
As for the scout ... I don't think he needs any extra life or firepower, so it's a tough one. I'm still going with some kind of damage shield which he can't shoot while using.

I'd like to see some kind of satchel as a pistol replacement so you can pick up ammo/health packs and shuttle them to the front line.
Or another jump.
Or a bat that works like the airblast.
Or a jetpack powered by win.

He should get some sort of time shift gizmo. You turn it on before you attack and after 10 seconds you teleport back to where you started.

Yeah, kritz-medic + natasha heavy might be fun when the update comes out.  For me it seems pretty obvious it's gonna be some kind of sentry-avoidence-thing since that's what ultimately makes the scout useless on the attack (and sometimes even defend) side of goldrush and the likes. There are some pretty crazy ideas on the forum. From a chewing-gum shield infront of the scout to a road-runner-style fast running ability which leaves a dust cloud behind you which the sentry prioritizes. Also interesting: what will it replace? Right now I can't see the scout work without either his scattergun or pistol. |

I can see the bat being replaced by his carrier bag, since "support scouts" probably won't be going into 1on1 combat.
One thing the sout is good for is harassing the other team, which he usually does with his scattergun. "Harassment scouts" therefore should be able to exchange their (long-range) pistol for something that allows them to get closer to the enemy. Some sort of sentry-decoy sounds plausible. Or a long-jump kit with about 2 shots, so you can get across a distance fast, an maybe back again, or dash forward once more (jump-bonk-jump or jump-jump-sneakycap).

Lol, now i have an image of a scout running up behind a sniper, having a speed wank, blowing his load on his back and fleeing the scene.
Sniper can only look over his shoulder to see the damage, CRIKEY!
