Whatever you think about the Sandman it might achieve one thing:
Closer teamwork.

[Chaos]

Maybe the Sandman could have a lesser effect on the heavier classes, and vice versa? I mean, the Heavy's going to have a pretty thick skull, and the Soldier's wearing a helmet, you wouldn't expect a baseball to have quite such an impact.

you dont get to comment till have experienced it!
get back to your books uni boy

He does make a good point, but it kind of falls down when you consider that bullets, flames, rockets and grenades can't stop an uber, but a baseball can; I don't think a thick skull or protective headgear is going to be much of a difference when that little blob of dark matter sculpted into a baseball hits you in the face!

And there is evidence of this! I'm seeing buddies saving my ass lots, and that makes me really work hard to protect someone who keeps me alive!

[Twiggeh]

My ultimate goal in life is to airblast a sandman ball back at the scout and then taunt kill him.

Edit: To actually respond to the question - Yes - I think so. In my opinion the classes shouldn't have a strict "A scout should never be able to beat a Heavy" or "A Pyro will always dominate the Scout", sure, each has its advantage, a scout can put two close shots in the back, and by the time the heavy has turned around the scout will be long gone, and then return to deliver the final blow.

I didn't want to start another sandman moan thread or necro an old one, so thought I'd post this here.
Ok, I had my first "you bastard" sandman experience last night that didn't involve me getting stunned and thought I'd share it with you. We were playing on badwater, I was a pyro and I'd just flared a heavy from behind and closing in with the axti out. From out of nowhere, a scout, on my team, pops up, stuns him the heavy and runs off. "Bonus" thinks I, forgetting about the 50% damage nerf, "Easy kill". WRONG! 2 hits with the axti and he's STILL not dead. The heavy then wakes up and revs up, so I move in for the killing blow, then up pops the bloody scout again and hits him with the FaN, knocking him out of axe range, where by the heavy turns round and fills me full of lead whilst the scout flits off to go play table tennis in the land of the faries somewhere (I dunno, he might've died, I was too rage-ie to notice). Little buggers are causing agro on both teams now![/rage]

[mark]

Yeah!
I was sniping and usually I pick targets that are high priority and/or easy to kill...for some reason scouts just pick whatever I'm about to shoot.
I am just about to shoot a medic but he gets stunned, not only does this make me miss my shot because the medic stops moving BUT if I should be so lucky to headshot him afterwards he would still need another headshot to go down!

Playing spy a lot recently and I actually team up with the scout to kill people. 

He bonks them into paralysis
I stab em in the back

[Teatime]

Oh yes, remember the happy old days before the scout update when everything was perfect ...

Oh yes, remember the happy old days before the scout update when everything was perfect ...

But of course, we all walked on rose peddles and no one was complaining.

And our bike frames stayed upright through osmosis

And everyone was very happy at how overpowered the demo was.....


errr oh yeah they still are

[DeadlyAvenger]

Yeah, im finding that more and more annoying too...when scouts bonk someone, then just run off and leave their target instead of finishing them off.

The targets may think otherwise

[Trigger]

Bonk! ? Useless for me. I mean, scout without double jump? Nothing is worth that imho! A scout was perfectly capable of dealing with any class 1v1 (save the sentry builder - can't remember class name, nvm anyway ) Scout could take down heavy like a cake even before, now it's just overkill, and annoying. I don't use it (have it unlocked). In fact, I don't use any of the updates, as scatter is superior to FaN, except for scout duels, and the FaN destroys the double jump.
