Where did I said that he is fastER THAN scout?

1) the biggest hp from default classes 2) speed of the scout (fastest default class) 3) high in-battle mobility (rocketjumping + eq speed + hp)

Too many things to consider. Would it make the game more dynamic? Yes, definitely. Would it be a disaster for scouts and demo? Probably. But the fact that over-extended sollies would now have opportunity to get away in 30% of time is just very bad. Just too many things to consider, you could make a small tournament and see how each class is doing in that environment. Get their thoughts etc etc. Would be way better than to think like "AND WHAT IF.. BUT MAYBE.. BUT..MAYBE IT WOULD BE..". This speed equalizer is the only thing from all non-vanilla weapons which is even worth to consider of using in competitive games, so we could just make a small tournament to make it all clear.

[...] Wow man. You won't stop hammering the same point. I must have scarred you for life for bashing you when you used the Equalizer.

[...] I am agree with that, but what I am saying is that while this may be the case, it doesn't change the fact that if a solly does mess up, for example walking around a corner into the other team, that is not good. If this is the "status quo" that is being referred to, where a solly can go into situations 1v4 and still escape, then it is too high a price.

What Skeej is saying (at least what I understood from his posts) that the equalizer makes the soldier a slightly stronger class, and thats it. If you want to call an unlock bad then you need to give good arguments why is it bad, you can't just say "in vanilla you wouldn't be able to do this". What the equalizer basically does that it increases the soldier survivability, thus making him a stronger class. Which is fair because hes the weakest of the 4 competitive classes. The soldier has no way to avoid damage as hes very slow, takes massive self damage, and is completely useless once hes under 40 hp. When demos scouts and medics can do clutch plays, soldiers can only spam rockets across the map.
