Scouts used to be one of my favorite classes to heal and buff. They have so little base health that it only takes a moment to get them to 150%. And because of their speed they usually have a good part of their overheal by the time they engage the other team.

However in the past few days, I've had so many ubers and kritzkriegs shut down by the sandman that I'm starting to take it a little personally. So if you're a scout, I'm not healing you. In fact, I will stand around and play you a tune on my ubersaw while you and your stupid baseball burn to death.

I know that medics in competitive games don't have this luxury, but if you're in a normal game, I'd urge you to join me in the scout healing ban. You have no idea how cathartic it is to watch one of those uber-ruining little pricks scream for help as they burn to death.

Awesome rant. Keep it up. Scouts have replaced pyros as the most annoying class in the game.

Cool. Now your scouts will get killed because you aren't healing them, making it even more likely that you get killed by scouts. Good thinking.

I don't believe I've ever read such an incredibly fail post before.

You take getting stunned personally? Fuck man, if I took getting killed seriously, demomen and soldiers and scouts would never get healed by me.

Don't you realise that by healing friendly scouts, you're
a) giving them a better chance at stopping ubers
b) giving them a better chance at protecting you
c) filling your uber faster
d) endearing themselves to you so that they're more likely to help you out
e) not being a complete and utter deutsche bag
f) helping your team to win

But sure, go ahead, let your team die. But when teams switch, they'll be the ones going for you. I know I would.
