since the pyro update, i've probably reflected less than 5 rockets intentionally.  the timing is really hard, at least for me.  is there a map/bot where a soldier(s) just keep shooting rockets at you for practice?

I don't think so, maybe find an empty duel server and duel your friend.

If you have ctf_bball:

1) Start a server.
2) Join Blu.
3) In console, type "sv_cheats 1"
4) In console, type "bot -team red -class soldier"
5) In console, type "bot_mimic 1"

Now when you attack (puff of fire), the soldier will shoot a rocket. You can shoot it back now, aim at him, he'll be aiming at you.

You will probably run out of ammo, so in console type "impulse 101". This gives you full ammo.

You probably don't want to die either, so in console type "hurtme -20000" and now you have A LOT of health. It'll constantly go down, like you're overhealed.

It's not fun to keep having to stop and type these though, so you can bind them to a key, like I have. To do this, go in console and type:

bind q "impulse 101; hurtme -20000"

Now pushing q gives you full ammo and lots of health. This only works with cheats on, and impulsing does not reload you like a cabinet does, but with Pyro that doesn't matter.

Hope that helps.

do the bot thing that gman suggested, but for health and ammo, use this.
Everytime you attack, you get health.

sv_cheats 1; bind "mouse1" "+attack; impulse 101"

i apologize for the necro, but i've recommended this method to a couple of people for practicing rocket reflects, and i wanted to add something:

i've found that a lot of times if i set the bots to mimic, i get into a habit of just rightclicking instinctivly after i puff some flame, rather than trying time it right to catch the rocket. someone suggested using the command "bot_flipout 1"

this makes the bot shoot forward automatically, so you're not in control of it.  it's still not really random, as the bot just spams rockets as fast as it can, and it's easy to get into a rhythm once again. i've found it helps to get 2 or 3 soldier bots and then setting "bot_flipout 1"

also, "bot_flipout 3" makes them run around in circles, which can help for practicing the flare gun on moving targets.

and a very belated thank you to Gman and Fanlaen for the help
