just for some reason 1 point blank shot they instantly turn around switch load me up with blutzauger.
i just hate it so much.
and then while i do full hit near point blank shot ofc not killing the medic.
well wich pretty hard enough with the random spray being so off with crosshair that you either hit or dont hit medic.

did scout just become to gimped ?
before i just did 2 shots near point blank and then point blank with 1 hit bat kill.
or either 2 point blank shots would been enough.

also to consistintly 2 shot any 175 or lower hp class.
i usualy got problems with.
except other scouts engineers and spy's.
unless they face stab me during spy check.

Well, you obviously don't want to get hit with the blutz too many times, so you need to strafe a lot. Otherwise, I would recommend just using your scattergun to pistol and guarantee the kill. Sometimes when I try to hit a medic with a bat, it gives them a chance to hit me more with the blutz. As you said, the scattergun is SO inaccurate in less you are standing right next to them. So with that in mind, your better of using it than your bat, and switching to pistol when you are out of ammo. If your going to be that close, just use the scattergun.

Needler always killed the shit out of scouts for some reason. Now it's much more powerful now that it sucks health.

Suggestion to you that worked for me- shoot them point blank, the jump away from where they just got shot from. They will inevitably look in that direction. Shoot and stay jumping.

I think he'd win, especially if you just crouched.  If you jump around and over him like a mad man, though, it'll be a lot harder for him to aim at you, a twichy-moving target, than you to hit him, a near stationary target.

It's not too hard to kill Heavies as a Scout you just HAVE to use your speed to your advantage.  If he has a Medic, though, I wouldn't even bother fighting him.  I'd try to put some hurt in the Medic and leave before I get torn to shreds by Sasha, or Natascha.

For medics... don't get too close if they can see you and just shoot away.  I like to use my first shot point blank, second one backing, maybe a third if he isn't dead and pistol him if he still isn't.  Overall, it's easy if they don't have backup, but if they do(which they should)... it can be a challenge.

@GMan:  I don't know why, I find that the Bat is a really good melee weapon, and I've gotten a lot of kills with it.  I don't even always use it as a backup weapon, just in the right situations.  Sure a Scattergun shot is often more damaging, but because of the Scouts speed and rate of swinging, it's pretty easy to run, jump and dodge all while meleeing fast, and hopefully critting(assuming crits are on, otherwise melee weapons aren't all that useful anyway.)  It's generally easier on slower classes, even with their high firepower.  I've killed many a Soldier, Demo, etc with the bat, it just takes some practice.  The only classes this doesn't work on for me is Pyro and good Heavies.  But maybe I'm just a good batter, I've always been good with melee weapons.

Ya, ever since this weapon was introduced my medic kill/death ratio has been getting worse. :[

Looks like we all kind of need to re-evaluate how we face off with this class.

At that range, those 10 needles per second are doing 15HP each and able to kill you (at 100% accuracy) in less than a second)  Just weapons heckle the Medic.  Stay at Medium range and blow him away with a shot or 2 of the Scattergun, and if you come close to get him to pull out his saw, then just run away again and keep at him (if you get too far away, I think the Handgun has better damage/accuracy).

If a Medic has his back to me, or any of the weaker classes really, I'm going to run up to him and bat the shit out of him. You'll get a lot more hits in before he has a chance to even try turning around than shooting him with the scattergun.
